Down on the Farm

The past few weeks, my preschoolers have been “Down on the Farm.”

We started off our unit making “What We Think We know” charts. 

During our unit, we talked about one animal each day.  After talking about the featured animal and reading through some picture books, we would make a craft.  Check out these cute pig faces!

We would also create a book page about that animal. I found this idea in a file from another teacher.  I love sharing!

Graphing our favorite farm animal was a great way to practice pre-math skills.

In our rice table, I placed tons of small animals for the students to pick out with tongs.  Fine motor skills practice at its finest!

The students also learned the following sight words: cow, pig, horse, barn, farm, tractor, chicken, and sheep.  I was very impressed!  We even wrote a story using the words and practiced reading it together.
