Throughout the month of October, River Valley 1st Graders learned all about the farm. Their farm unit focused on goods and services and the goods that we produce in our farming community. The
students learned of the products that we get from cows and were able to experience the process as well as enjoying the production of ice cream on our recent field trip to Plymouth Dairy Farm. At the farm, the students were able to see a calf that had just been born within the previous eight hours, see where the cows live, and watch them milk the cows. After the dairy farm students enjoyed lunch at the park and headed to Wells Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor where they watched a video of the history of Wells and interacted with the new interactive displays. Before going home, students were treated to a small cup of ice cream.
