1st Dairy in the Classroom Visit

First Grade is so lucky to have received the Dairy in the Classroom grant again this year.  This is an amazing outreach program that includes 5 classroom visits and a field trip to a local dairy farm.  Today was our first visit with Miss Virginia. We learned all about dairy farms and how cows produce milk.  We learned the 3 most common cows in Vermont are Holstein, Jersey and Black Angus.  Each gives us somethings special.  Holsteins produce the most milk, Jerseys make creamy milk and Black Angus give us meat.  We also learned that cows only have bottom teeth! To complete our first visit, our class got a chance to make homemade butter. It was delicious!  We will see Miss Virginia again in 2 weeks!
