BD and CHSS Visit Dr. Davies Farm

Bardonia Elementary School kindergarteners are exploring more than just the changing seasons this fall — they’re delving into an in-depth study of apples, a fruit deeply rooted in both learning and local history here in Rockland County. In the classroom, the Bobcats have been busy counting apples, discovering how they’re used in a wide range of foods and reading stories centered around this seasonal staple. But today, the learning moved beyond CCSD’s walls. Along with students from Clarkstown High School South’s Infants and Child Development class, the kindergarteners visited Dr. Davies Farm for a day of apple picking.This partnership is more than just a field trip — it’s a multi-week collaboration that connects our youngest learners with older student-mentors. Later this month, the Bobcats will visit CHSS to make applesauce with the Vikings, and soon after, the high schoolers will return the visit — helping the kindergartners write and illustrate their own apple-inspired stories.
