🐄 Meet Our Calf – Sleeping Beauty! 🐄
Each year, 4th grade participates in the Adopt a Calf Program, and this year we’re excited to follow our adorable calf, Sleeping Beauty!
👩🌾 The program is hosted by dairy farmer Alice Crothers from Long Green Farms in Rising Sun, Maryland. Throughout the school year, students will join live video chats from the farm to learn how Farmer Alice cares for Sleeping Beauty and the other calves.
📚🐮 Dairy farm life connects right back to the classroom! Students will explore dairy concepts and use what they learn in:
Math ➝ tracking growth and measurements
Reading ➝ learning through farm stories and nonfiction
Science ➝ animal care, nutrition, and life cycles
We are excited to follow Sleeping Beauty’s journey and learn more about dairy farming along the way! 🐾🌾
