September 19, 2012 - Farm Trip!

What a fantastic first trip to the farm!  It was so exciting to learn all about a new place.  Even though it was a little overwhelming, everyone did incredibly well managing the sensory input. New smells, sights, sounds, and experiences were noted but worked through with no problems. 

Every week we work with Jonny Belber, who is an educator at Holly Hill Farm.  This week the kids mostly learned about the different places and animals on the farm and were able to feed many of the animals including the chickens, goats, horse and pony, and rabbit:

While one group works with Jonny, the other works with Amy.  In Amy's group, the kids harvested SO MANY vegetables.  They harvested curly and straight kale, broccoli, scallions, red lettuce, cucumbers, and pumpkins.  Some of this will come home tomorrow, so be ready! 

Everyone did very well and had fun at the farm today!  It was a great, beautiful, productive day.
