Farm Week

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 Wednesday & Thursday we took a field trip to the farm.  The FFA students told us all about farm life, we even 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.
