The rooster had perfect comedic timing interrupting Mrs. Paula!

 

 

  

  

 

 

Mara released horsey endorphins to give him peace of mind before the kids came to feed and pet him. 

 

  

 

Real egg hunt, which was so exciting for us all!

 

Queen of the sand pile! 

 

Mrs. Paula is always always teaching!  She’s truly the toddler whisperer, and I admire her so much!  Where other teachers we’ve experienced (sadly) yell at the class to get their attention, she literally whisperers, and they all lean in to listen because no one wants to miss out on all the interesting things she has to say! 

 

 

Anna Kate had a blast getting the sand blown off of her!  No matter where you go, or what you do, a more fun field trip for preschoolers does not exist!  Thank you, Mara, Jerry and Luke for sharing your farm in the big city with us!  You truly have the best of both worlds!

*These are my pictures from a mother’s eye of all of the farm fun, but I’ll post Mrs. Paula’s soon with the rest of her May pics!  Oh, and check out her website too!  She went into all the educational details of the trip and described everything exactly as it happened.  I had a blast watching her and the kids in action on this field trip, and she even caught me looking totally grossed out at how long one of the claws on the chicken was (I had actually just gotten through touching it in her picture)!  So funny!  Check it out:
