Hello!
It has been a “funny farm” this week at our school! We have been
MOOOVIN’ and going QUACKERS learning more about the topic of farms and the
different types of animals that there are on farm.
On Monday, the children were greeted by Bessie the cow. Bessie doesn’t “moooove” much but she does
have a full udder most of the time! The children got a “kick out” milking a
cow. Ask your child about this
experience. Feel free to come in and give Bessie a “squeeze” also! J We had to put
the horses, Blacky, Spots, and Cinnamon in another pasture so they would not
bother Bessie! ( advice from a child)
We have played several familiar games such as “Farmer in
the Dell” and “Old McDonald had a Farm.”
Some of the children enjoyed playing the matching game, “Momma and her
Baby” using the large wipe-off board.
They also made a BIG picture on that board, of what a farm looks
like! We have some very fine actors and
actresses in our class! We observed this
talent when the children performed two stories, “Billy Goats Guff” and “The
Three Little Pigs.”
One Tuesday, we went “hog-wild” with an
activity that had to do with pigs/hogs and the joys of mud. This muddy activity was good to eat too! Ask your child what flavor the muddy pigs
are! Mrs. Hoffman also showed us at
snack how to make and eat a pink pig (cookie).
(recipe on back.)
On Wednesday, for Show and Tell, Mrs. Wollesen
brought in a bouquet of Lilacs. The
children admired these flowers and they smell “oh-so-good” in our classroom. We think Spring is officially here now!
The
children were delighted to watch how Mrs. Hoffman made homemade ice cream. We had this wonderful treat and chick cookies
for snack. Ask your child how ice cream
is made!
Billy
and his peers LOVED the book, Why the Chickens Crossed THE ROAD
by Mark D’Arcy. A good read for some GREAT belly laughs!
