This week we started our new unit for September, On The Farm. On Tuesday we talked about what you would find on a farm. We did one sort together as a class and then the kids got to do one of their own.
With our class sort, we colored everything that we decided belonged on the farm and put it up on our bulletin board. I was so impressed with the creativity of these kids! I was just planning to have them color the pictures, but they had to have mud for the pigs, hay for the horses and cows, a hose to wash the dog off when he gets dirty (the red paper below the barn), and grass for the tractor. They made all those extra things on their own!
On Wednesday and Thursday we talked about the animals on the farm. We talked about sheep on Wednesday and used our fingerprints to make pictures of sheep. Thursday was all about pigs! We read the story of the three little pigs and then acted it out, which the kids absolutely loved. After that we made pig windsocks.
At centers this week we worked on the letter C, squares and numbers. The kids counted items in plastic bags and matched the numbers to the bags. They all did so well!
