💚🤍Our 4th graders had a special visit this week when Mr. Zeisler brought ducks, geese and a goat from his farm to share with students!
Students loved the hands-on learning experience and asking questions about caring for animals on the farm. They’ve also been helping support the farm by collecting food waste for his pigs, turning leftovers into something meaningful while learning about responsibility, sustainability, and agriculture.
What a fun way to bring real-world learning to life for our students! 💚🤍
