We have a busy week ahead of us. We will be headed to the AuSable Institute on Wednesday, May 20th and we will be having our picnic and field day on Friday, May 22nd!
Our first field trip is sneaking up fast! We will be headed out to Char's Farm (the home roost to our eggs...soon to be chicks!). We will be visiting the mother hens and father roosters. We will also be seeing where our babies will be going once they leave our brooder.
The trip will be on Wednesday, May 8th.
We will be leaving the school at 8:45 and we plan to return about noon.
**This is during our ACES day, so we will be exercising in the field at the farm along with GES from 10:00-10:30.

the same time. Have fun and get “reusing...
