Before Your Visit
- Allow your students to share any previous experience they may have of the farm
- Plan your visit accordingly; know when your tour(s) and hayride(s) are
- Allow for some extra time for a late bus, bathroom breaks, and a quick stretch
Arriving at Muscoot Farm
- When you enter the parking lot, please direct the bus driver to drop off students at the main entrance and park in the back of the lot
- If parents are driving, they may use the public parking area
- Your group may assemble in front of the Reception Center while one teacher checks in at the Farm Office (second floor above the Reception Center)
While at the Farm
- Please remember that the farm is a public place and as we ask all groups to be mindful of our other guests (i.e. no yelling, running, throwing, etc.)
- Please be on time to your tour and hayride since we operate on a tight schedule and any delay greatly affects other groups
- Groups are required to clean up after themselves, please leave the picnic areas as clean as you found them
Back in the Classroom
- Upon returning to the classroom, encourage your students and chaperones to discuss their experiences
- Connect their new knowledge of the farm to the lessons you are currently working on
- Encourage your students to use their imagination and creativity through writing, drawing or playing, to describe their experience
