What makes something alive? Students work together to define living and non-living using lots of hands-on examples. Then they expand their understanding with a planting project and a guided walk around the gardens to discover what living and non-living things can be found there.



IT’S ALIVE (LIVING VS. NON-LIVING) Grades: Pre-K - 3

People living a hundred years ago were more attuned to the changes of the seasons than we are. Spring was seen as a time of renewal; new farm animals were bring born and new crops were being planted. Spring also meant the end of the “lean times” of winter.  Join us as we explore these aspects of Spring during this creative movement and craft program. We will celebrate the new season with a tour of some of our buildings, a dance around the Maypole, and a Spring craft!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG Pre K, K, 1

See the farm as it appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through the eyes of a young Caroline Foster, nicknamed “Cara,” and her cousin, Charlie.  Experience firsthand some of the chores of the time period. Students role-play and participate in activities such as corn cracking, butter churning, and washing and drying laundry. They learn why certain crops and vegetables were grown at Fosterfields and meet the many farm animals including Jersey cows, draft horses, pigs, and chickens.
