Beehives, Goats and Cows Oh My!

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

Fourth graders from Barnett Elementary visited the Utah State fair on September 8th. Excitement filled the air as we set out for our first field trip of the year. With the help and support from parent volunteers, students set out to scour the fair grounds for farm animals, beehives, butter sculptures, wandering clowns, and balloon artist magicians. Smiles were seen as students scaled an army tank, touched a goat, and made yarn.

In fourth grade students are engulfed in studying the history, industries, regions, and symbols of Utah. The symbols of Utah encompassing the fair grounds were eagerly found by the fourth grade experts. Students also saw county displays showing the different regions and industries of Utah. Students were able to see and feel the livestock and crop displays depicting the agricultural industries of Utah. Building background knowledge by experience, the fourth graders of Barnett can now make connections to the content they learn in the classroom.
