Farms and Barns


We had a fun week beginning our new theme "farms and barns" Our first farm animal was the chicken. They learned about roosters, hens, eggs and chicks. They also learned about sun rises and sun sets. Francis was the "rooster" for the week that had the special job of "cockadoodle-dooing" when he saw the sun raise. We made chicken and rooster masks, counted eggs, played with corn meal in the sensory table and cracked an egg open to see and feel what was inside. We learned the chicken dance and also a rooster dance to not leave out the boy chickens!

This week we will finish learning about chickens and learn about planting seeds.
