🐄✨ Learning About Dairy at Claxton Elementary! ✨🐄 Over the past five weeks, our students in Ms. Stuart’s agriculture class have been learning all about where dairy comes from. Last Friday, our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders had an amazing opportunity to experience the Mobile Dairy Classroom! They got to watch a live demonstration of a cow being milked 🐄 and learned how milk goes from the farm to the table. It was an exciting, hands-on experience that brought their lessons to life! Great job, Ms. Stuart, for organizing such a fun and educational event for our students! 🌟 #HandsOnLearning #DairyEducation #ClaxtonElementary #ReadySetGrow
