We continue to explore various farm animals. These past few days, students have been comparing and contrasting goats and sheep. We have learned all about why they are raised, what they eat, special characteristics that makes them unique, other names for them, and what we use them for. Students are immersed in the study of these animals. Before deciding what animals they will have on their farms and how many, students spend time exploring the cost and area each animal needs. It is essential we look at our land use planning codes before getting started. For example, 1 goat costs $8 and needs two square inches of land. It also must be fully enclosed in a fence. INQUIRE with your child how much it cost to have just one goat on their farm? How many did they choose? How much did it cost them?
