First Graders Visit
Amber Elk Ranch
On Thursday, May 20, 2010 all
first grade students went to Amber Elk Ranch in Ludington. We were
greeted by Mr. Bob and Rocky the turkey.
Each class was divided
onto two wagons pulled by tractors. We traveled by wagon to view
about 150 elk located on the 130 acre ranch. Students were able to
feed the elk by hand. It was fascinating to view these beautiful
animals so close. One bull weighed as much as 1000 pounds.
After
the ranch we went to Waterfront Park located on the shore of Lake
Michigan in Ludington. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and spent some
time playing on the playground. In the background the famous
“Badger” was preparing for its summer season.
The weather was
perfect. Needless to say it was a wonderful day. |
