Down on the Farm

Last week, we learned all about the farm!  The children pretended to be several different farm animals and did a variety of activities as well.
Putting 10 cotton balls on the sheep
for our number of the week!
Having fun with her Duck Mask!
For a science experiment, the children turned whipping cream into butter to spread over bread.  During this process, they learned how cows help in making butter.
Shaking up the whipping cream to make some butter!
The cooking activity was "Pigs in a Blanket".  The children talked about pigs and learned how to make a classic, tasty treat!

Our letter for the week was "J".  The children did several projects to practice the letter "J" and came up with other words that also start with "J".
"J is for Jaguar"
10 Jelly Beans in a jar
 We also finally got to release our butterflies!  We have been watching them for several weeks as they went through the life cycle from caterpillar to butterfly.  The children had so much fun watching their butterflies flutter around on our playground and eventually fly out of sight!
Waving goodbye to the butterflies!
