Farm Friends

Howdy all!!! This weeks preschool was fantastic! Our theme was Farm Friends, so we talked about farm animals this week. First, of course, was play time. There were some cars and Little Pet Shops for the kids to play with. Then we had Circle Time. This week one of the students, Maya, had a birthday!!!! So when we did our calendar, we had her come up, so she could see what day her birthday was.
Then we did our letter, F. In the special bag there were a stuffed fish, a flower, and more.
Next we did Show & Tell. There were some fairies and lots of horses!

Then the activities began!!! We decorated some puppets, and then played with some clay and plastic animals.

After playing for a bit we had snack. We talked about how a lot of animals on the farm eat hay, and then ate our own "hay stacks" like animals!!! Everyone loved this and pretended to be a different animal! The boys especially "got into" their snacks.

Once everyone was done eating, we made touch & feel books. These books were so cool, because you could feel the animals. To make these we glued the words and animals in the books.

Next we made Balking Chickens. We glued eyes, a beak, and a feather onto a plastic cup with a string & sponge attached to it, and then we took the sponge, got it wet, and rubbed it on the string to make the chicken balk.

After our chickens, because it was her birthday, Maya brought some doughnuts for us. Yummy!!!!

Last of all, we milked a cow!!!!! The children enjoyed squeezing and pulling!!! We milked the cow until the parents came and picked up the children from a fun day at the "farm!"
