The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the farm! Take a look at the slideshow! We were able to see animals, a garden full of vegetables, an orchard with cherries growing on trees, and even a milking machine! Some children were interested in the vegetable and fruits growing in the garden and others were interested in the manure used as fertilizer in the garden! Of course we all liked the animals; horses, cows, donkeys, goats, ducks, rabbits and chickens! Each child was able to take a picture with my digital camera! Tala had an interesting Show and Tell. Her mom came in and showed us how to make Lebanese bread which looked as thin as a piece of paper. The bread was a mixture of corn and wheat. It was really good! We read the story 'Miguel and his Tomatoes', a story of how Miguel harvests his tomatoes and their journey to a factory and then on to the supermarket! We are writing our own versions of the story!
