Down on the Farm

This week we have been working on a number of projects that you will be seeing at conferences. Monday we made a pig book that has positioning words such as before, above, behind, in, below, on, under, etc. Tuesday we made a rooster that involved fitting pieces into the specific spots, like a puzzle. It was a great small motor skill builder.

On Wednesday we learned some new size words like big, bigger, biggest and small, smaller, smallest. It was very difficult to avoid using the word medium! We sorted farm animal families into size categories. This is another project that you will see at your child’s conference.


Thursday we read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and made a set to retell the story. Finally, a project to take home this week!





We have lots of fun activities coming up in March. The first of which is our Career Dress Up Day on Friday, March 2nd! Remember we don't have school on Thursday, so be sure to make yourself a note to remind you of dress up day.
