Hale Farm in the Winter

Yesterday we visited Hale Farm!  It was super cold, but the students who were brave and bundled enough for the visit enjoyed themselves and learned a lot.  We were able to visit a woman spinning and making yearn, a dairy farmer's wife making butter, a blacksmith, a frontiersman living in a one room cabin, and a glassblower making colorful glass pieces.

Pictured are the students walking around the farm, students watching the glass blowing, a student holding a blacksmith handcrafted hook, and students enjoying their lunches. 

We will be going on more field trips in December ... so watch the blog for more details and photos!
