I made it to the farm!!!!!!!!!!! When I first came to Spring Brook Farm I thought it would be a good time to work with our class and figure out hard problems. I also learned to make a good relationship with our class and be a very helpful Manning Senior to both our school and our community. In this picture this is my friend Jerrod and me, Pedro. We're watching the baby calf eat. What I learned is that helping each other together makes everything better. -- Pedro
Today was an adventurous day for me on the farm without any electronics or other distractions - just farm life. In this picture I fed a lot of the heifers (female cows that have not given birth yet). Over the next few days I'm going to have fun and have more adventures with all of my classmates. -- Imani
Today Aleene and I were feeding cows in the dairy barn. We took the hay and broke it up into pieces called flakes. We put them where the cows eat. The cow liked the hay that we fed them. We both liked feeding the cows. I feel that the trip to Vermont is awesome and educational. This week I will want to learn more about farming. -- Desiree
This is a picture of me feeding a cow. I think his name was Infinity. When I was feeding the cow, I was scared that it would bite my fingers because it was close to my hand. At the beginning of the day I was scared to touch the cows but by the end of the day I found out that they are really nice. I hope to ride a horse this week. I'm glad I'm here. -- Liibaan
I am so happy to see you all at the farm :) it is making me smile.
ReplyDeletelots of love,
Miss Leesa
I LOVE THE PICTURES!! It's so much fun that we can share in what you are doing at the farm. It looks like you all are having a great time. Keep the pictures coming. Stay warm. Love, Ms. Cheryl xo
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Ms. Herzig. When she took me to Vermont for the first time, I was scared of the cows, too! I think I shrieked and scared one of the cows away.... But they were so peaceful and I am glad you all are doing better with them than I did!
ReplyDeletelooks like everyone is having such a GREAT time. you will take many things out of this trip. 1 week of knowledge in a different manner and you will also get to learn more about each other this week with no distractions.I'm sure this trip will be educational in many ways and you will each walk away with something different this week!
ReplyDeletehave LOADS of fun!
love
Eileen Glynns mom :)
STAY WARM
Pedro - make sure you know which side of the fence you are on, otherwise the kids will be feeding YOU!
ReplyDeleteLibaan - if you were a cow, what would your name be?
ReplyDeleteAre there any salt licks? Have you tried it?
Imani - imagine you lived on a farm. how much milk does a cow make every day? that's a lot of milk!! what would you do with it all? make butter, cheese, cream, milk, cottage cheese, and so on. every day you have to do something with all that milk, and you don't want to waste it. do you think what the cow eats changes the flavor of the milk?
ReplyDeleteDesiree - try not to feed Aleene to the cows or chickens!!
ReplyDeleteHello Manning Seniors,

Good job Manning Seniors!
ReplyDeleteYou're all doing a fantastic job. It's good that you're exploring another way of growing up - without the distractions of video games and TV! Many children all over the country live this way year round, are used to living in such a way, and actually don't mind many of the daily challenges that all of you are facing this week (KEEP THIS IN MIND!).
Embrace the outdoors, work with one another on the tasks that you have been given and think of ways that you can perform these tasks easier. In this way, think of your week at the farm like a game. Good behavior, early bed times and a solid work ethic earn the most points!
Have fun and take care.
Hello everyone,
