Second Grade Field Trip

Submitted by jessie.olsen on

On Friday, October 5th the second graders at Park View Elementary went on a fun field trip. They went to Discovery Park for lunch and then to an equestrian farm. The activities at the farm were provided by Utah State University Agriculture in the Classroom and included seeing baby piglets, learning how seeds grow, and milking cows.

Students loved the field trip, as can be seen by their comments below:

"I like the bus.  I like the hills that we go down.  The bus is fun.  I like to open the windows.  I like wind blowing through my hair." --Zoey Spencer

"I saw some flour in a container and I got to pour some wheat in the container.  What I thought was interesting was when the wheat was turned into four.  I will always remember that wheat turns into flour." --Kamryn Meek

"I saw some piglets sleeping in a cage.  They were so small and so pink.  I wish they would come out and play."  --Amanda Johnson

"I liked to look at the man shaving the sheep.  I never saw a man shaving a sheep.  I really liked the man shaving the sheep." --Wesley Nielson

"I got to milk the cows.  It was more complicated then I thought." --Hank Bradford

"The wool was soft and it was warm.  Wool is white and fuzzy.  Some wool has bugs in it.  The bugs were small. --Jake Wheeler

The second graders learned many things about animals and agriculture on their field trip and they had a great time!
