Kari Hamilton from Southwest Dairy Farmers brought their Mobile Dairy Classroom to Fillmore Central Elementary on Monday, March 13. The students learned what is involved with taking care of dairy cattle, anatomy of dairy cows, the importance of dairy foods for good health, and watched a milking demonstration with modern equipment like an actual milking parlor. Kari was scheduled to be in the area but had a cancellation. She contacted Fillmore Central Ag Teacher, Kurt VanDeWalle, to see if she could add a stop in Geneva. The elementary teachers were flexible and worked this opportunity into their schedules with short notice.

On Friday, February 24, the Fillmore Central 1st Grade classes took a field trip to Hastings Museum. First, they enjoyed the IMAX movie, Superpower Dogs, about rescue dogs all over the world. Next was a tour of the Kool-Aid exhibit to learn about Edward Perkins, the inventor of Kool-Aid, and life in the early 1900s. This was topped off with mixing their own Kool-Aid drink. After that, the first graders learned about constellations in the night sky and Earth's orbit around the sun. Lastly, the students were entertained by Rusty Rocket and his tour of the planets in the planetarium. It was a fun day of learning!
