Preschool Field Trip to the Dairy

With only a couple months left in the school year, we got together with some friends and formed a preschool co-op.  It worked out great because we each only had to teach once, and then we organized two field trips to go on together.  Our field trip to the dairy was awesome.  We arrived and were taken to see a brand new calf -- it was only an hour old!  That was my favorite part.




Next we were taken to see the chickens in the chicken coop.  Joely wasn't a fan, but Emma had fun chasing the chickens around.
Since Emma was in afternoon kindergarten and the field trip was in the morning, she got to tag along with the preschoolers!


We got to see the cows getting milked in the milking shed, and then we were taken in to see a video about dairy farms.  In the same room was a little calf that was just a couple weeks old.  The kids got to take turns bottle feeding it.  It was so sweet, but it kept mooing during the movie, and it was LOUD!  The kids kept giggling.  It was either giggle or cry because of how loud it was.  :)




We got to see all the other animals at the farm and then were treated to samples of the cheese and milk the dairy sells.  Both were delicious.  When our tour was done, we treated the kids to some fresh made ice cream.  Wonderful!
