“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” Shel Silverstein

As you can see from the slideshow, the first graders of Synergy had an awesome trip to Shelburne Farms on Tuesday, June 7th. The weather was spectacular and we enjoyed an afternoon of chasing chickens, brushing cows, tasting yummy cheeses, and even getting an up close look at some adorable new piglets as they slept soundly.

During our study of farms over the past few weeks we have learned that farming has many rewards but is also a lot of work that takes careful planning and dedication. Please comment with us on whether or not you think you would like to be a farmer and why. The students will be learning how to comment on the blog and you can read their opinions in the comment section as well.

Thanks!
