Kindergarten students at Rumsey Station Elementary experienced hands-on agricultural education when Gifford Farms brought their mobile farm program to campus. The visit complemented the students' current academic unit on farming and agriculture, bringing their classroom learning to life through direct interaction with farm animals.

The educational program gave students the opportunity to learn about agricultural practices firsthand, including the essential tools farmers use in their daily work and the important role of various farm animals. The curriculum covered the complete farm-to-table process, helping young learners understand how agricultural products make their way from farms to their homes.

During the special visit, kindergarteners had the unique opportunity for face-to-face encounters with farm animals. The interactive experience allowed students to learn about each animal's specific role and daily life on the farm, reinforcing their classroom studies with real-world examples.

This collaboration between Rumsey Station Elementary and Gifford Farms represents one of many ways the school works to enhance classroom learning through community partnerships. By incorporating these hands-on experiences into the curriculum, educators help students make meaningful connections between their studies and the world around them.

The program demonstrates the school's commitment to providing engaging, experiential learning opportunities that help bring academic concepts to life for its youngest students.
