Caring Classroom Family Guest Post

Did you know that yesterday was Cow Appreciation Day?

At Chick-fil-A anyway.

I promise I am not making that up.

These two cows enjoy life on our family farm. When we took the tractor tour of the new barns, we were told by our tour guide that it's all about

the comfort of the cows. 

They are continuously fed so that they can graze effortlessly whenever they want. They're bedded in sand, so it's like sleeping on the beach, and they're kept in a climate-controlled environment 

so that they're always ... comfortable.

 Our dairy's goal is that each cow produce 100 lbs. of milk per day.
Turns out that happy cows produce more milk.

The secret to success is comfy cows; who knew?

If you haven't seen this clip from some Iowa farmers, watch it now 
for proof positive that it's not just the cows who are happy.

So, would it follow that comfy kids are more content?

Uh, let me think ... YES!
 

I'm honored that Laura Candler over at Corkboard Connections 
 invited me to talk about just that.

achieve greater school success, don't you?
