Several weeks ago Anna Kate and some of her classmates got to go on a field trip to the stock show.  Now she has added \u201cfarmer\u201d to things she wants to be when she grows up\u2026 she says it\u2019s 7th on her list, lol!  Enjoy the pictures her sweet teacher took on their adventure!<\/p>\n

They noticed the differences between hens and roosters, and heard some cock-a-doodle-doos!<\/p>\n

\"P1060112\"<\/a>\"P1060115\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When they read about sea turtles at school, they learned that the babies have an "egg tooth" on top of their beaks, which they use to crack open the egg. These brand new baby chicks do too. <\/p>\n

The ducklings liked the heat lamp too – and look, they huddle, just like ladybugs do in the winter!<\/p>\n

\"P1060121\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The kids got to touch raw cotton, with the seeds still in it, and then see how the cotton gin separated the seeds and the fibers. The seeds are used for oil – it goes in oreo cookies!<\/p>\n

\"P1060123\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They got to see a milking demonstration\u2026<\/p>\n

\"P1060132\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And tried out some tractors in the big hall.  They\u2019ll use these pictures for their letter t page of their scrapbooks from this year!<\/p>\n

Here’s the real live Elsie the cow! Her son Beauregard wasn’t out today; he was resting.<\/p>\n

\"P1060138\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"P1060151\"<\/a>\"P1060169\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They saw the Moos Brothers, the Stock Show mascots. They stopped for us to take a picture with them, but they were a little cautious about the strange cows!  Anna Kate was cautious and gentle in the petting zoo as well.<\/p>\n
