On Thursday, October 8th the
kindergarten children spent the morning at a local
cranberry bog. We
listened to the owner, Leo Cakounes tell us how he picks his
bogs. He showed us some of the equipment that he uses. We
were able to take a walk onto a bog and look at the vines and the
cranberries close up.
We saw how he cleans the
cranberries the have been picked. The
picture below show a box (on the left) of cranberries that have not had
the vines removed and a a box (on the right) of cleaned cranberries.
We enjoyed at snack on the bog
with our classes and had a chance to
visit some of the animals.
