Fall on the Farm!

This week our theme was Fall is on the Farm! We learned how animals help us on the farm and how farmers milk a cow. We even made homemade butter and shared it with Doodlebugs! classrooms. Each day we used our handprints to paint farm animals. We had so much fun during our Doodlebugs! sing-along. We were little pigs and held up our farm animal puppets while we sang "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." Our favorite song this week was "Animal Action."
Our poem of the week was:

Mr. Farmer comes out before the sun
And counts his animals for fun.
Little pigs 1,2,3!
"Oink, Oink!" The pigs play in the mud.
Little cows 4,5,6!
The cows need to be milked.
Little sheep 7,8,9!
The sheep's wool keeps us warm.
Little eggs,
There are ten.
They came from the hen!


Playing together

The chick says "cheep cheep!"

His favorite farm animal is the cow. "Moo, Moo!"
