‘Garnet Mesa Days’ are the biggest field trip days of the season. There are about 100 kindergartners, 2 farms, 10 different education stations, 20 chaperones and 10-15 lovely community volunteers. This spring we returned to Lamborn and Zephyros Farms to take part in some spring-time activities.
We:
Brushed wool
Visited with mini-goats
Transplanted broccoli
Acted like honey bees
Held earth worms
Tried green smoothies
Harvested wild edibles
Planted beans
Played ‘roots-stems-leaves’
Made personal germination chambers
Pet lambs
I do not know how teachers do it, day in and out. Those kid are wild! Or am I getting old?
THANK YOU TO THE FARMERS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR YOUR TIME & ENTHUSIASM!
