PICTURES AND REPORTS ADVENTURERS Ms. Virginia from Dairy-in-the-Classroom visited Ms. Bachand's room on Tuesday 5-15-2018. She educated the students about collecting and using fibers from plants and animals to create clothing. Wool from sheep and fibers from alpacas and rabbits were a major focus of their learning. Ms. Virgina read a book to them that involved collecting and processing wool. Finally, students had an opportunity to try out mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. The whole visit was very interesting.
