Hi JK parents! 

We had a wonderful week learning about farm life and animals.  We simulated milking a cow (and think we were all squirted in the eye at least once!) and watched a video of children who live on a farm and milk cows everyday.  The class was amazed at how much effort it required to produce a small bowl of milk.  We also played a harvest-time counting math game, painted self portraits, decorated farm scenes, practiced our handwriting and reading in our small groups, and played rhyming games where the children were all identifying how the words had like endings but different beginnings.  I love the words they create when rhyming! 







They are amazing singers and dancers, and have already learned a new song about October and picking “fat pumpkins”.   Our class is becoming more cohesive and making great strides to complete filling our frog jar.  I see a pajama party on the horizon!
