Rejoice

     Meet Rejoice! Our class adopted Rejoice through a program called "Discovery Dairy." This program pairs a classroom with a dairy farm, typically in the same state. They also provide lesson plans and updates.  I am so excited to share this sweet baby with our class tomorrow!
     The meaning of her name is not lost on me. With all of the questions and turmoil this school year has brought to all of us, I am rejoicing that we have been able to maintain face-to-face instruction, so this calf's name is very fitting for this school year and our class. This year is going to be about rejoicing every day that we're able to be together!
     I decided to do this as a part of teaching my class about animals, habitats, where their food comes from, an appreciation for their environment and nature, in general.
