F is for farm! This week, we will be exploring the animals of the barnyard. We will discuss the importance of farms as growers of food, and learn about the animals that live at the barnyard. We will specifically be talking about pigs, cows and chickens this week. There will be lots of barnyard adventures…We will sing the songs, “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” and “The Farmer in the Dell.” We will create barnyard animal craft puppets. We will enjoy a variety of stories each day describing life on a farm and we will use blocks to create barnyards and animal pens for our toy barnyard animals. We will praise God for the goodness He has given us with the song, “My God Is So Great.”
Next week, we will discover more about horses, sheep and goats as we continue to explore the barnyard and we lead up to our field trip to White Post Farms on Thursday, October 19. The following day, Friday, October 20th, we will be closed for staff development. It should be fun to enjoy these upcoming barnyard adventures together!
