Guest Speaker

Today we had a very special guest in our clasroom. Mrs. Cadotte was so kind to come and speak to our students and Mrs. Walker's students about what it is like to live and work on a farm. The students and the teachers learned so much. She brought in pictures of all her animals, and we learned that her animals even have names. The students especially loved that she calls her chickens her "girls"!
The students learned the difference between HAY and STRAW! Ask your child to see if they can remember what each is used for. The students also learned the special way to know if a chicken is going to lay white eggs or brown eggs. We also got to feel the difference between the hair that comes from a goat and the wool from a sheep!
Mrs. Cadotte will also be at the farm when we go to visit next week. She is going to bring her spinning wheel and show how she takes wool and spins it to make sweaters! The students are so very excited for our trip to the farm!
