Things have been farm-tastic in Kindergarten the past few weeks! We have read, sung, and wrote about animals and farmers both real and make believe!
We have read about Joy Cowley's Mrs. Wishy Washy and all her muddy farm friends. We even made and ate some mud of our own! (Don't worry it was just chocolate pudding!) We made some muddy little pigs of our own using 2-D shapes, built some really cool barns for our farm friends, and created some wishy-washy tubs for our favorite characters!
We have spent the past week learning and writing about cows! We read Click, Clack, Moo! Cows That Type and several other silly farmyard tales by Doreen Cronin and The Milk Makers by Gail Gibbons exploring the differences between make believe and informational texts. We decided to follow in the path of Gail Gibbons and create our own teaching books about cows. We also began exploring the states of matter by using heavy cream, a liquid, to make butter, a solid. It was even better that we used the "milk" from our very own classroom cow!
