3rd Grade Class Trip

It was a big week here at Glen Brook. Our third grade from the Waldorf School of Garden City came for their first annual trip. It was wonderful to see these students come to feel at home at Glen Brook, and to try so many new activities. In the garden, students mulched, harvested tomatoes and sunflower seeds, shelled and sorted beans, and cleaned garlic. They learned about and helped to take care of all our farm animals, and we visited a nearby dairy barn to meet their cows and help milk one.  On Thursday the students made an entire delicious meal for themselves and for the gappers: stew, bread, butter, and apple cider followed by apple crisp and ice cream. It was a well made feast! They also spent time exploring the forest and building shelters with the available forest materials. We ended the week with a bonfire at the granite ring with singing and some hilarious skits, and a chance to do some stargazing before bed.

We look forward to seeing these students again soon– whether for their fourth grade trip as a class, or perhaps at Winter Camp, Summer Camp, or a Family Program!
