Farm Field Trip!

On Friday, we went on our Farm Field Trip to the Van Mannen Farm just outside of Newton. This is the first year we attended this farm and it was very educational! When we got to the farm, we ate lunch and cooked smores before going around the farm. Julie did a great job of explaining how to care for the cattle, chickens, turkeys, crops, and pigs. Students had the opportunity to see these animals and also different machinery (tractor, combine, semi truck). It was beautiful weather and the kids were worn out by the end of our trip. Before we left though, we HAD to roll down the big hill. I can't even begin to explain how much fun that was. Parents/Guardians who went along, PLEASE send me pictures as I did the rolling with the students and therefore, wasn't able to take any pictures! Overall, the day was a great success and a memory the kids will never forget!
Chris, Christy, Sabrina, Eileen, Sandy, Anna, Shawn, and Marilyn: Thank you SO very much for all your help on our trip! You are all AWESOME and I really appreciate all of your time, help and support to make our day a big success!
