We started by gluing a 1/2 sheet of blue, 1/4 sheet of green & a 1/4 sheet of manila construction paper to a plain sheet of white paper.
It looks like this. Blue for the sky, green for the grass, & manila for soil/ ground/ dirt. (Can you tell I don't like to be in pictures?)
We then wrote our names & the word "Farm" after it. For example: Ms. M's Farm.
We then took out our Farm clipart (for lack of a better word) & colored, cut & glued it to our paper in the correct areas.
During Writing we have been working on adding details to our sentences, so we them wrote a sentence of what we see in a farm. I should have made a cut apart sentences but I didn't. Anyway the sentence goes like this, "I see a ________, _______ at the farm."
Here is how they turned out. A bit wonky but they loved it. They were also super excited because I let them take them home. I told them their homework was to tell their family what they learned about a farm.
We will continue to learn about Farms next week. I downloaded a wonderful Farm Unit from Musings of me. If you haven't yet visited her blog you should.
what a fun activity for them:)

I like the activity. I will have to send you a picture of the CUTE bulletin board of the PreK class that I share an office with. They too are working on farms and their animals.
ReplyDeleteI like the button spot at the bottom of your page. Very smart.

Go to my button spot and see if you like the button as a gift to you! I will have to email you the code so you can put it on your blog. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all if you don't wish to have the button. I just want to 'pay it forward' to someone.
