Ag day

Today our schools had Ag day (just through 2nd grade). Ag is Agricultural. The two other closest school systems near us don't have it but we do--this is "out in the country". The kids go around to different stations and learn about different things.

K loves the baby animals...
There was practicing roping. She got it on the first try. Yeehaaw!

This was a game where the girls raced the boys milking and filling up a jug.




The boys won. The girls won the sack race though!



They talked about tractors and got to get inside.

They got to play in a cattle truck, got branded with flour (instead of the brand being hot), learned about beef, watermelon, soil and rain, and different animals feet. They also dug through hay, chased each other, pushed each other, threw sticks and bark, tried to fall in ditches on purpose, punched each other, dug in ant piles and tree stumps, picked flowers including bluebonnets, cut line, elbowed each other, and got yelled at a often. :) It was a very fun day. lol

It was fun for them. I tried to help K's teacher keep her class together and moving along. Mostly I tried to keep the back of the line moving and keep the boys from hurting each other. One liked to hold my hand and asked me if I was his friend. He was sweet, he didn't even mind holding my hand after the animal petting and digging in the tree stump. I just had to give him a hug when I left.

I admire teachers so much. Those little kids can be absolutely adorable and as wild and rotten as can be! Twenty at once. Sheew!!!

I am so glad I got to go. I am also thankful the rain held off and it only sprinkled a little (that was not what was expected last night). I love this little town where the kids go to school and I will definitely miss it and things like today when we move. I will also miss K's teacher-she has had her for two years and I LOVE her!

K also got to see her best friend from last year who had to chance to a different school. She has not seen her since last summer. She was SO thrilled to see her. Afterwards she kept saying how much she missed her and wishes she was her sister.

I LOVE getting to help out at school and go on field trips! I can't believe there is only one more month left of school!!!
