NT Farm Class

On Saturday, Mikey started his "Saturday Sunrise" farm class, at the New Town Farm.

We woke up to pouring rain, we thought that class might be canceled...but we were very pleased to find out that it was moved inside!

Mrs. Angie tells the class that the theme of the day, was "Pleasing Pie." (All about apple pie, and what it takes to grow apples.)

She told the class that not all bugs were bad, and that she had some very helpful bugs...plastic ones, in several different colors. She then asked each child to help her sort out the bugs into her muffin pan.

Mikey was not happy to hear that everyone was going to get a turn. He wanted to play with the bugs...so much that Angie pulled him over a "special helper chair." (Geez...its better than a time out...but he wasn't a monster...)

Mikey got another turn, this time he had to find 3 red worms.

Then the kids were invited to "make," their own pies...with dried pasta and cooking tools, or play dough.

Then she brought out snacks...apple juice boxes and apples. She used an old fashioned apple core spinner, and the kids loved turning the crank! Mikey waited very patiently...as he had just done this 2 weekends ago with grandma Fortner!

Mrs. Angie read a book, about an apple orchard, and the kids tried to not spill their food...

After class, Mikey wanted to play with the sand box, and trucks...he just wasn't ready to head home in the rain!

We said good-bye to the bunnies, goats, cows, and chickens...and thanked Mrs. Angie for a great class!
