Oh, that does n't . take *into„ account the 'treat Mrs. Latta had for everyone - a bottle of chocolate milk and'home mart* chokies. , - ! You may wonder about such a trip. An experience like • this visit to a farm can b^ an important part of the first year of school. This trip "was a ‘ part- of-* farm study planned by the children and their teacher. Many other activi ties help make up the plan such is discussion periods where the children help make decisions, orig inal stories used for reading ma terial, plays and dramatizations about life on- the farm, a study of how com grows and of the -milk we drink, and finally building a play; farm. Other things result, too - the grown-ups who partici pate get a better understanding of children, and the children know' and enjoy life on a farm. All this we tell you so that you can better appreciate the work qf. your school. . , , ’’ This is American Education Week, November 5 - 11.
