March 24th

Hi All!

We had rain, but not enough to cancel for once!!! YAY!!!  So we will see you all tomorrow!  

As for last week, I have to brag a little (because I can, because I write the blog...so there :-P ).  For those of you who forgot, we were gone last week at the Pinal County Fair, running the Dairy Goat Show there. My youngest also competed with one of our yearling doelings, named Patience. I am super proud to announce that he won Jr. Novice Dairy Goat Grand Champion Showmanship!  So, make sure you ask him all the Dairy Goat questions you can think of and see if he earned that title (I'll tell you...he did!)

And now on to this week's schedule!

 From 10-Noon(ish) we will break into group activities:

Group A-- Ages 5-8

You will be doing Gardening this week. Ms. Paula has lots of fun activities scheduled. Come prepared to learn a lot and get dirty!!

Parents, if your little ones tend to wander, please stay close by. You are responsible for taking your child to the restroom or providing them with water if they get thirsty. Try to remind them that this is a group activity, and they should try to stick with their group as much as possible. That will really help keep things flowing smoothly for everyone. <3

Materials Needed: 

Sunscreen and Water Bottles...if you so desire. 

And clothes/shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.

Garden gloves if you think you want them.

Group B--Ages 9-12

You will be doing the Project this week. This week you will be doing some actual farm-y stuff!  We are going to work with goats this week. Come learn how to trim hooves and make farmer's cheese (it's been a couple of years since we last did that!). 

Materials Needed: 

Sunscreen and Water Bottles...if you so desire. 

Clothes/shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.

A great attitude!

Group C--Ages 13-18

You will be doing P.E. this week. Mr. D is back!!!  So...kickball it is! Come prepared to run and have fun in the pasture.

Materials Needed: 

Tennis shoes and comfortable clothes 

Water bottles

Sunscreen if you so desire 

Those teenagers that do not feel like participating in the Project are welcome to volunteer with Group A. Please note: you WILL be put to work if you volunteer in that capacity!

Everyone is welcome to stay and have a picnic lunch in the backyard area. You are responsible for bringing your own lunch. Please do not feed any animals with that lunch and please make sure all garbage is disposed of in the dumpster or garbage can.
