Farm Field Trip

By:

Kindergarten students took a field trip to a local farm to learn about the farm animals and also to see the crops and the process the farmers go through from planting to selling/ sending to the grocery stores.To correspond with our studies of the plants and animals on a farm, we took 105 kindergartners on an investigative trip to the Country Critters Farm in Mansfield, TX!  This was a fabulous time of discovery and learning that culminated our study of the farm. We rode ponies, interacted with animals in the petting zoo, saw the crops growing in the area, and soaked in the atmosphere (and aromas) of life on the farm. The students documented their trip in their journals. This hands-on experience with the animals was the first time many had been that close to farm animals, and not one wanted to leave when it was time to go.
