Week of 4/15

Hello Sky Room Families!

This week we have been learning all about the Farm. We’ve had so much fun learning all about the farmers, types of animals, their different jobs.
​
Classroom Activities:

• We first explained to the students that their job at school was to learn and that their teachers job was to teach. We then showed the students pictures of animals on the farm (cows, horses, sheep, chickens), and talked about their “duties” on a farm. We learned that cows provide us with milk that we drink, sheep get ‘haircuts’ and give us their wool for clothing, chickens lay the eggs that we eat, and horses help the farmers complete their many jobs on the farm.


• We made our own “On The Farm” book, and read and colored each page. The students were very excited to take these books home to read!


• We used paper, yarn, glue and goggly eyes to create a baby bird in a nest! The students had a lot of fun with this cute little craft.


• We used paper towels, water, plastic baggies, to “plant” our contender seeds! We are so exited to watch our seeds grow into a plant. They are currently hanging inside on the Rainbow Room windows where they will get tons of sunshine. We plan on visiting our beans frequently so we can water them, and track their growth! 

Songs We Sang:

• “Old MacDonald Had A Farm”
• “The Farmer in the Dell"

Books We Read:

• Woolbur, by Leslie Helakoski
• Dwadle Duck, by Toni Buzzeo
• Ping Pong Pig, by Caroline Church
