Farm Animals

We talked about the many different kinds of animals on a farm.

We learned the names of baby animals (baby horse = foal, baby pig = piglet, baby goat = kid, baby cow = calf, baby sheep = lamb, etc.)

We talked about the ways that animals help us ( for example wool for clothes and blankets, milk, cheese, butter, etc.)

We sang "Old Macdonald had a Farm" and each of the children pretended to be a different animal and made the animal's sound in the song.

We read several books about animals. My favorite was "Rock-a-bye Farm".

We reviewed the letter "a" and continued to work on our sight words and simple addition.
