Shucking Corn

One of the things I love about teaching at Cove School is the opportunities afforded my students.  We were invited to help shuck the corn for the school cafeteria.  In this picture, our FFA adviser shows the kinders how to do it and how each piece of silk is attached to it's own corn seed.  Did you know that?  Our school farm is a wonderful place for learning!  

Two kindergartners go to the farm every morning with an FFA student to gather the eggs from our hens.  Now really, how many kinders have that opportunity?

Have you looked inside an ear of corn before?

Jacob is pretty proud of his hard work.

Horses and Branding

Richard rides a horse.  The Murchison family came to Cove School and we all got to ride a horse and see how to brand.  We each got to take home a branded board.
