It sure was beautiful (and fun!!!) at Ingaldsby Farm in West Boxford today! We met Tucker and Sheila the farmers and played guess the vegetable. The tractor ride was our favorite! We even sat on real hay bales. The tractor took us to see the Belted Galloway cows, also known as Oreo cows because they are black and white just like an Oreo! Farmer Tucker smashed a giant pumpkin and the cows ran over to eat every last piece. After watching the cows, we stopped at the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect sugar pumpkin. There were big ones, small ones, round ones, and oval ones. Each pumpkin was unique. At the end of the field trip, we observed the chickens, sheep, and other farm animals. The best part....once we got back to school we feasted on apple cider donuts and drank apple cider. YUM! After that, we wrote and illustrated our own books about what we saw and learned on the farm. A good day was had by all. Thank you to the adults that came to help us today!
Love, Mrs. Dupuis' K Team
