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?

Everyone tries their hand at shucking corn...

Danny is really working hard.

Pull, pull again, pull...

Watch me!  I can do it!

Have you looked inside an ear of corn before?

Look at all the silk on Tanner's ear of corn.

Cabella checks out her ear of corn.

Will found a ladybug!

Hannah puts her corn in the cooler until it's time to cook it in the cafeteria.

Jacob is pretty proud of his hard work.
