Fernbrook Farms Environmental Education Center
2017 Winter Pre-Kindergarten Semester
3-4 Years Old
Class Sessions Offered: Tuesdays 2:00pm-3:00pm,
Wednesdays 2:00pm-3:00pm, Thursdays 9:30am-10:30am, OR
Thursdays 1:30pm-2:30pm
Goats
January 17th/18th/19th
During this class the students will visit our robust and friendly farm animal
the goats! We’ll discover the many clever adaptations a goat has to help it live
its carefree life. The class will lean what goats give back to the farm and how
we take care of them while they’re here at Fernbrook.
Sheep
January 24th/25th/26th
Warm wool and lanolin. There are the two products of our Shetland sheep. The young students will
learn how the male, ram, takes care of his flock and how we harvest the finest wool for our clothing.
Cow
January 31st/February 1st/February 2nd
A staple on any farm, cows provide milk and meat to thousands of consumers. Unlike goats and
sheep, a cow can weigh up to 1500 pounds! Together we’ll learn how to take care of our largest farm
animal and figure out how he helps protect his farm friends.
Chickens
February 7th/8th/9th
Chasing chickens is fun! Did you know that they can see you coming even if they have their eyes
closed? We’ll play with our feathered friends while learning unknown facts about how they take care
of each other and themselves in a world of predators.
Ducks
February 14th/15th/16th
Ducks NEVER get wet! It’s hard to believe that these feathered creatures live in water but stay so dry.
In order to understand this unique adaptation the class will participate in an experiment with oil and
water to see firsthand how this trait works.
Predators
February 21st/22nd/23rd
Every farm has unwanted visitors. Together we’ll walk through the meadow and look for evidence of
other animal life on the farm. The students will identify their tracks and see if these wild animals
could be a threat to our animal barn residents.
Prey
February 28th/ March 1st/March 2nd
Not all animals are dangerous. In fact some provide essential nourishment for other
wildlife. The students will transform and imagine what it is like to live as another
animal’s prey.
Winter Birds
March 7th/8th/9th
The cold winters do not send all birds packing. During this class we will learn about
permanent species. We will take a walk and see if we can find our friendly neighbors in their winter
environments.
* Please note that the class topics for the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes are the same, but the
content will be altered to fit the learning abilities of the different age groups. FFEEC is
dedicated to providing age appropriate learning experiences for all children as they explore
their natural world.*
