Farmer Russel visits John Dibert Community School!

Farmer Russell, from Red Barn Farm Tours, visited John Dibert Community School last week. Farmer Russell brought a miniature horse, bunnies, puppies, goats, baby chicks, a variety of different species of chickens, and even calf to visit our Dibert scholars.

The Red Barn Farm spent two full days at the Dibert campus, to ensure each student had a chance to spend time with all of the animals. Farmer Russell teaches our scholars about the animals and also does an amazing chicken embryo display for all middle school scholars. The experience can often be therapeutic for our scholars. Farmer Russell extends the invitation to all special need and counseling students to spend as much time as they can with the animals while he is at the school. Watching the students interact with the animals is priceless!



Additionally, Dibert features an entire Kindergarten unit that revolves around farms; animals, food, and plants. Red Barn Farm Tours' visit to Dibert is integral to the students learning experience and has opened the door for teachers to expand lesson plans and build on the interactions between animal and scholar.
