Serafina's kindergarten class walked to our neighborhood farm today. She was very excited about this field trip even though she has been to this farm countless times and we had a CSA basket from them for years.
Here she is enthusiastically raising her hand when the farmer asked if anyone had visited the farm before.
The kids were allowed to pick a bite of kale and try it.
Serafina said it was a little "spicy".
We were also shown the worm bins as part of the composting project on the farm. Serafina wasn't too sure if she wanted to touch a worm.
She decided she wanted a worm plucked from the bin and gently placed in her palm. I ended up doing the plucking. In fact, all the kids wanted me to pick a worm out of the bin so they could hold them. Sigh, the things I do for education.
The chickens had been visited by two other kindergarten classes before we got there so they weren't very hungry. That didn't keep the kids from trying to feed them.
