Sun + Fun Pre-K Has Heifer Day!

A local Seal Beach co-op creative play group, Sun + Fun, had Heifer representative Catherine Scott come out to speak to the 3-5 year olds on Friday, March. 13th. The children had been really well-prepared by their teacher Ms. Browner who had served the children cow milk, goat milk and hard-boiled eggs for their snack period. As a result, the children were ready and willing to answer questions about how farm animals can help people and the earth! We watched "A Trip to the U.S.A" from our new Global Education Resource Kits for Pre-K to K children, and read the new Chicken and the Worm book (which they loved!). This was a wonderful opportunity to teach young children about farm animals, gardens, and to let their parents know about Heifer's work. Thanks to Carolyn Davidson for organizing this event!
