Pearl Valley Farms Virtual Field Trip

Today the students had the opportunity to attend a virtual field trip in Illinois, USA and saw how Pearl Valley Farms run their egg operation.  They got to understand the egg's journey from the farm to the table in a variety of steps .  They also learned what this farm is doing in terms of being environmentally sustainable such as recycling the manure and creating organic matter and selling the "Poop Coop" to consumers. They are also conserving energy, water and waste in general.  The students learned that the workers at the Egg farm have to problem solve daily and that it is important that they understand math and science concepts. They also learned of the healthy benefits of eggs as it pertains in their Health studies.  Thank you to Pearl Valley farms for the very informative tour today.  The kids sure learned a lot!
