The Farm and Earth Day

Parents,

We have been learning about Old MacDonald’s Farm and ways to protect our environment this week in class. We milked a cow (glove), made Baa Baa Black Sheep’s wool, drew pictures of our favorite farm animals and made farm animal puppets. We recycled bottles and cans and read books about various ways to recycle at home. The culminating event was a trip to DC Durrence Farms in Glennville, Georgia. We picked strawberries, went on a hay ride and ate a picnic lunch with parents and friends. Please peruse our photo gallery to view activities inside and outside of the classroom.
