4/9 Field Group at the Farm

One of my favorite features at Nature's Classroom is the farm. It's so much fun watching the kids faces as they see the inside of a chicken coop for the first time. They struggle to catch a chicken to hold but when they succeed, their expression is priceless. Gus and Ernesto (the Nature's Classroom llamas) always spark curiosity and the kids learn real fast that Gus is grumpy and likes to spit. Stay away when he puts his ears back. And inevitably, someone wants to sneak one of the goats home. But what you really need to know - THESE KIDS WORK THE COMPOST PILE. That one always suprises me. Enjoy watching this group explore the farm.

Mmm, Mmm Good!

Lunch, 4/11 - Pizza, salad, sun butter.

Breakfast, 4/11 - Eggs, hash browns, juice, sun butter, bagels, boiled eggs.

Dinner, 4/10 - Roast chicken and rice, cooked carrots, salad bar and, of course, the now famous and ever so popular sun butter and jelly.

Lunch, 4/10 - Macaroni and cheese, pickles, salad bar, sun butter & jelly.

Breakfast, 4/10 - French toast/maple syrup, cereal, hard boiled eggs, bagels, sun butter, juice, & water.

Dinner, 4/9 - Cheese Ravioli with breadsticks (okay, they were a little hard), salad, sun butter/jelly, and lots of dinner time fun.

Lunch, 4/9 - Mini subs (build your own) with chips and all the fixins. Don't forget the salad bar!

Breakfast, 4/9 - Eggs, hashbrowns, and the usual breakfast alternatives. All you can eat!

Dinner, 4/8 - Sloppy Joes - PERFECT. Kids came back with bog mud on their clothes and war paint on their face. So this meal was fitting. Sloppy Joes, fries, salad bar, sun butter, and great company.

Lunch, 4/8 - An interesting experiment. Taco Tuesday? Not quite. We had all the taco fixins, including reried beans, but instead of beef, we had TVP (textured vegetable protein). What most kids found is it was quite tasty. There were, of course, the usual options of salads and a sun butter sandwich.

Breakfast 4/8 - Comfort food! Pancakes, syrup, bagels, cereal, juice, milk, and, of course, sun butter. Delicious!

Dinner, 4/7 - All you can eat beef roast, potatoes, and corn; along with the usual salad bar and soup. Special treat - one class made their own bread - enough for all 80 (including all teachers) to enjoy. Thanks, "Dough"

Lunch, 4/7 - All you can eat pasta, sauce, and garlic bread. Don't forget the salad bar, the "glob n go" counter, and soup of the day, vegetable rice.

Visiting Teachers

4/10 - Welcome Deputy Joynt! Thanks for jumping in and assuming this role.

4/9 - We had a trifecta today with Mrs. Cavender, Ms. Menis, an Ms. Clark (she just can't get enough of us). The bonus for the guys, though, is a new bunkmate - Mr Carolan. Thanks for joining us.

4/8 - Time to get the new guy involved. You're a natural in this environment, Mr. Kleinhans.

4/8 - It was fun having Ms. Clark on our night hike. Thanks for sharing your astronomy knowledge with us!

4/7 - Thanks Mr. Seaman for spending the night. You always brighten our day.
