🐄🥛 Today in kindergarten, our learning adventure took us to the farm! As part of our CKLA Knowledge unit on Farms, we talked all about cows, exploring where milk and other dairy products come from, and how farmers take care of their herds.
We even had a hands-on experience pretending to milk our own cows! It was a fun and educational way to connect with the life of a farm. The kids loved learning how their favorite dairy treats start their journey!

They've been diving deep into the themes of the book through independent discussions and student-led learning. To celebrate their hard work and achievements, they enjoyed a special viewing of the new Disney movie adaptation of the book.
