Second graders on the farm!

A man shows six students some cows in a pen

Delaware Community School second graders field-tripped to the Normanskill Farm on Wednesday, where they made (then tasted!) butter, watched a blacksmith at work, received some fresh-sheared wool, got up close to cows, discussed healthy eating and learned more about recycling, reusing and composting.

All City School District of Albany second graders have visited or will visit the farm before school ends.

You can see a Facebook photo album from the trip. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, "To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
