q5Monday’s weather could not have been more perfect for the HALB Lev Chana Early Childhood Center’s pre-Lag B’Omer trip to Green Meadows Farm. It was a sunny and breezy day as HALB’s four-year-old nursery children, morot, and parents boarded the buses to the farm. Escorted by knowledgeable guides, they enjoyed an exciting hands-on educational experience. The children rode ponies, fed sheep and goats, petted rabbits and chickens, milked a cow, observed reptiles, and even saw pigs. The children learned many new and interesting facts about the animals as well. One of the guides taught them that a cow has four stomachs and that a pig just might be the smartest animal on the farm. One of the highlights of the day was the hayride on a big red wagon pulled by an even bigger tractor. The trip to the farm is always a favorite spring activity for HALB children and an enhancement to the units of study–community helpers and animal habitats–that the children are presently involved in. A wonderful day was had by all! v
