A class field trip to a neighborhood farm, from walking there to meeting the animals and plants.
This is a short illustrated story for young children about a class field trip to a neighborhood farm. It follows the students as they walk to the farm, learn from Farmer Rick, and explore the different areas of the farm.
The story begins with the class preparing for the trip, walking in a straight line and crossing the street carefully. They arrive at the farm and are greeted by Farmer Rick, who tells them about the plants and animals that live there.
The children then go on a walk to learn about the fruits and vegetables that grow on the farm, including tomatoes, beans, strawberries, and blueberries. They get to pick green beans, lettuce, and tomatoes, and one child eats a ripe tomato.
Next, they visit the chickens, which are all hens that lay eggs almost every day. Farmer Rick opens the nest box so the children can see where the hens lay their eggs. They also see baby chicks and a baby duckling, which they get to pet and feed lettuce.
The final stop is to see the worms, which the children get to touch. The story explains that worms have an important job on the farm because they help make good dirt for growing strong and healthy plants. The story ends with the children reflecting on what they learned and how much fun they had.
