Yesterday was a great day! It was our first time teaching a 2 period block at Fort Pitt Elementary School right down the street from the farm. We’ll have a monthly two hour block with 4th graders through the winter and spring, ending with field trip to the farm. It’s a relationship we’ve been hoping to create for over a year now. Yesterday I brought one of my chickens to the class, taught about soil and it’s importance in sustaining life on planet earth, and we made a “worm terrarium”. All in two hours! It was a lot of fun. I owe Christy and Kelly for making it possible, they did all the leg work, the meetings with the principle, and the many emails to work schedules. They’ll also be doing the majority of the teaching over the coming months. Stay tuned for pictures and news on the amazing kids from Garfield who are in our 4th grade class.
