We had the perfect Fall day for a school fieldtrip to Hale Farm and Village. The first grade had the chance to spend the day with their sixth grade prayer partners.
I was quite surprised at how much the first graders LOVE the sixth graders. Dawson's prayer partner is Rowen. She is sweet as can be and Dawson talks about her ALL the time! In fact, she's the one who started us on the Rainbow Loom....that's another post yet to come!
A little after lunch free time!
It was a day full of listening and learning. I was VERY impressed on the knowledge of all the girls. The questions they asked were outstanding along with their behavior and manners!
It made me realize what a good education my daughter is getting and how lucky she is to be at that school!
The students all enjoyed going back and experiencing mid 19th century life. The farm has many areas to visit where there is a person role playing daily life many years ago.` Here is the broom making barn. Dawson was picked to demonstrate but, of course she said no thank you!
Look at the sky in this picture....wow!
This was candle making.
There were many farm animals such as oxen, sheep, pigs, chickens and horses.
Of course, the most popular animal was the pig. Can you say they were really stinky....yuck!
I couldn't resist taking lots of pictures because the lighting, weather and scenery were all perfect today!
