A new session of Civics begins and we are focusing on the judicial system of our government. Over the next six weeks, we will be participating in a mock trial as we learn about our court systems. Have you ever considered the wolf's side of the story in the Three Little Pigs? We will be preparing our cases, all the key players of a trial, and our jury will decide!

New workshops also kicked off...
Young Entrepreneurs is back!
Lego
Farm animal fashion
Coding
And ever-popular Sports

It's going to be a great session!

Farm School!

The rain has stopped here, and it looks like the sun will peek out around 10am with temps into the 50s, so we are still ON for Farm School today!

Please dress warm, and wear water tight shoes/boots if you have them ... we did get a fair bit of rain and are a little soggy today. But Farm School kids are tough! Today we begin our African Savana unit today 🤣 so think warm thoughts!

See you On the Farm!
