Carol is demonstrating the proper way to milk a cow

Down on the Farm

March has been a happening place in Smac. We have been talking about the farm and animals who live there. We talked about horses and saw kids like us learning to ride at special stables. The next week we learned about cows. We made homemade butter out of cream, and took turns "milking" the cow. This week we are talking about chickens. We cracked an egg open to look inside and we watched video showing how a new chick hatches. We will finish the farm unit with a creative writing project. All in all, learning about the farm was a lot of fun!
