Do your students know how to care for a rabbit (or goose, chicken or duck?) By discovering the feeding, health and housing needs of small farm animals, students learn how Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc., a non-profit children’s program, cares for different types of animals. They also learn the commercial use of each of the animals and why animals and agriculture are important to our daily lives.
Stephanie Rickert, MAT, is the founder of Old McDonald's Farm, Inc. and a certified teacher. She has experience developing and teaching integrated lessons on the educational farm.
