Week 21 and The Farm

This week was all about the FARM and the farming life. We even went on a field trip to the farm. We had a blast. We started the week guessing about what we would see on the farm. This is the list that Tater came up with. 

Then we discussed animals that we would see on the farm. We sang songs like Old Mc Donald had a Farm, B-I-N-G-O, Here we go 'Round the Farm. We had so much fun dancing and singing and learning about animals that we would see on the farm. 

We also worked on writing farm words like farmer, tractor, horse, farm. 

Here is a picture of coloring of farm animals and a farm. 

We also started a new math unit...MONEY! We started with pennies. Here is Tater learning to count... $.01, $.02. 

Then at the end of the week, we were able to actually go to a local farm. The kids and I learned so much. We were able to see pigs, sheeps, donkeys, dogs, goats, chickens, roosters, and bees. We had a blast. We were able to hold goats, roosters, and chickens. We also were able to see a bee keeper suit, and to see a garden. So much fun. The kids were also able to get on a tractor and "drive" the tractor. 

At the end of the field trip we revisited the white board and added to our board on what we learned about farms. The list after the visit grew compared to the beginning of the week. 

Here are some pictures of Taylor creating her own farm. After the visit to the farm, Taylor really enjoyed making her own farm.
