Last Thursday, December 15, the lower elementary students hosted our first assembly of the school year. Each of the children in both classrooms came up with an alphabetical list of things that they have seen and done on our trips to the farm. Our presentation was entitled, “The ABC’s of the Bel-Aire Farm”.
The children did a great job and the assembly was a hit! Of course, we did get a little off track. There were two lines of children. They alternated speaking into the microphone. One of the children was ill and could not attend – we ended up a little out of order. So, it was not really the ABC’s of the Bel-Aire Farm, but the ABDC’s! Of course, this made the presentation that much more endearing. We all enjoyed the assembly and are looking forward to the next time we can share about our learning experiences at the farm and in the classroom!
We also had some special guests attend the assembly – O.D., Jake (horses), Wazzy and Louie (goats) and two of the bunnies! Bel-Aire Farm brought in their animals so that everyone would have the opportunity to meet them. It was a huge success! We cannot thank the Ludwick family enough for their generosity. The experiences that the children are having at the Bel-Aire Farm are incredible. We hope that every parent can, at one point this year, experience one of the trips to the farm. It is well worth it!
We hope that everyone enjoys the slideshow that accompanies this narrative. It is extremely difficult to describe how special these trips have been. We hope that the pictures give you all an idea of how truly magnificent these trips have been! Before signing off, we must mention that this wonderful assembly would not have been such a hit without the vital contributions of Lin Brooks, Paige Como-Howard, Mr. Dennis Wood and the lower elementary team!
Have a wonderful and safe holiday! See you all in 2012!
