HALB nursery visits farm

The weather could not have been more perfect for HALB Lev Chana Early Childhood Center’s pre Lag B’Omer trip to Green Meadows Farm.

It was an amazing sunny and breezy day as HALB’s four year old nursery children, Morot and parents boarded the buses to the farm. There, escorted by knowledgeable guides, they enjoyed an exciting, hands-on, educational experience.

The children rode ponies, fed sheep and goats, petted rabbits and chickens, milked a cow, observed reptiles, and even saw pigs; they learned many new and interesting facts about the animals as well. One of our guides taught us that a cow has four stomachs and that a pig is the smartest animal on the farm! Of course, one of the highlights of the day was the hay ride on a big red wagon pulled by an even bigger tractor.

The trip to the farm is always a favorite spring activity for our children and an enhancement to the units of study — community helpers and animal habitats — that the children are presently involved in. A wonderful day was had by all.
