Antonio – “I really liked the pizza we had for lunch.”

Ava – “The pizza tasted so fresh because it was homemade, not made from canned foods. It’s made from real tomatoes. I really liked the celery sticks with cream cheese. After lunch, we went to the playground, and we wrote poems about objects and animals that can’t speak.”

Maeve – “Today, our group made apple cider. We had to spin this handle, and it was really hard because there were a lot of apples in there at once. Then we fed the pigs the apple scraps.”

Estelle – “My group herded cows. There was a baby born yesterday, and the farmers were trying to get the mother and the baby into one of the two barns, but because the mom had never before been in the barn, and they needed to milk her, they had to coax her inside. The cows were sad because they didn’t want to go in the new barn. They had to pick up the baby. We also made butter.”

Thomas – “I liked being with the pigs while collecting poem ideas.”

Diego – “The pigs were really funny because they were trying to find acorns by digging with their snouts, and their face was all the way under the mud.”

Alon – “I liked going on the roof of the horse stalls because we got to play in the hay. Simón and I found really comfy spots in the hay!”

Stella – “Some people had to do animal chores this morning, and the farmer shot-out milk from the utter into our mouths.”

Mia – “My favorite part from today was riding the horses. I rode a horse named Daisy, and she trotted fast, and it was really fun because I bounced a lot.”

Pema – “I rode Sierra and she was really lazy, she didn’t want to go.”

Charlie – “I think this day wasn’t the best day because it was all about poo. We had to shovel poo in the cow barn and then we had to hike up a poo trail to get the cows. I liked the pigs, they were really cute!”

Julia – “I named a pig Hermione Granger.”

Max – “I liked scooping the poop out of the barn because we got to sing some songs, like “Nugget and a Biscuit,” and “I’ve been working in the cow barn.”

Zoe – “I liked gardening a lot because I liked eating the raspberries and being able to try different types of plants and learning about them.”

Simón – “I liked making the apple cider. I liked throwing the apples into the mull.”

Andrei – “I really liked writing my poem about the chickens. I liked observing them and fluffing their feathers.”

Clarissa – “I really liked making butter. After the cream turned into butter, we put the butter in a bowl with water, and we smooshed it to get the buttermilk out.”

Sophia – “I liked watching the cows in the barns.”

Tess – “I enjoyed going into the garden and eating the herbs and plants, and at the end, we got to pick raspberries, and they were amazing!! They had to drag us away from the raspberries!”
