Schrieber's Farm Field Trip


A Guest Blog by Jen Shuart




The Pre-K and Kindergarten classes enjoyed a wonderful morning visit to Schreiber’s Farm yesterday. The morning started off with the excitement of riding the school bus with friends and chaperoning mom and dads.  After arriving at the farm, we climbed up into the tractor’s wagon and went for a hayride, enjoying the blue sky and colorful foliage. Once we reached the wide-open field, hungry cows eagerly rushed to the tractor waiting to be fed. The children fearlessly fed the cows hay and enjoyed petting them. Some of our young ones even learned firsthand that cows have very scratchy tongues! After the cows had full bellies the farmer drove us to the pumpkin patch, and the children each picked out a pumpkin to take home. Then the ride continued on, thru the mud and muck and over a brook to an overlook where the children (cleaned their hands first!)  sat in the hay and enjoyed donut holes and apple cider. We weathered a little sprinkle of rain on the ride back to the farm and after a quick look, and smell, of the pigs everyone climbed back onto the bus and we returned to school for lunch.  A big thank you to Mrs. Kelly and Ms. Gracia for organizing a memorable day!
