April 10, 2013: Miracle of life


My class went on a field trip today to a dairy farm.  We were led into the birthing barn where we watched a cow give birth to a calf!  Surprisingly, my students were all very respectful and self controlled during this!  It dead silent in the barn while we watched the cow push this little guy out.  It wasn't until the cow let out one long, slow, MOO that some of us started to giggle a little.   When the cow started licking her calf clean, however, one of my students blurted out, "THAT is DISGUSTING!  Do you know that came right out of your BOOTY?"  
I also found out later that one student had asked a teacher, "Is that what happened to Mrs. McLaughlin last week?"  (Mrs. McLaughlin is another teacher at our school who just had a baby a couple of days ago. :)
