We had a wonderful day today. We started a new unit - Farm! I worked hard over break to turn our room into a farmyard wonderland and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I think the kids were too. :)
During story and song time I introduced the new theme and we talked about what makes a farm, farm animals and their sounds, sang songs about farmers and learned the letter "F." Then the kids made a picture of their own farms with stickers. So cute!
They decided where they'd put the barn, tractor, etc.
After the craft we went up to the classroom for centers. It was so much fun to see their happy faces when they saw the room. Made all the work worth it. 😀
This is Bessie, our class cow. The kids got a kick out of "milking" her. It's just a sergical glove. 😂
In our sensory area we have a little fake garden for them to dig and arrange vegetables in.
This is our farmers market. They can buy and sell vegetables here.
This is the barnyard. I made plush animals for them to care for.
They can hunt for eggs under the hens and then sell them at the farmers market.
During individual instruction I pulled out some farm themed file folder games.
This is a fun sensory center. The children have to match the smells. - essential oils.
Snack time! Thank-you to all of you for sending snack. Whenever it is someone's turn they are always so excited to share.
We played with playdough. Again, cutting the dough with scissors is good pre-cutting practice.
All in all, a wonderful day.
