Week Of 5-16-11

 This week our theme was the ‘Farm’.  We tore paper to make a cow, used beans to make a barn and drew pictures to create My Silly Animal Book.  On Monday and Tuesday we took a field trip to the farm.  The FFA students told us all about farm life.  We got to pet the cows/calves and then went into the parlor to learn how to milk cows.  We saw the milk house, ate a dairy snack and got to play in a huge sandbox!  We had a great time!

Next week our theme will be ‘Butterflies & Caterpillars’.  The children will make a patterned caterpillar, create a butterfly book, complete a butterfly’s life cycle and paint a butterfly.  We will also be visiting the Kindergarten classrooms in preparation for next year.
