Down on the Farm

This week we learned about farm animals.  Letter Cc was our letter of the week for cow and corn.  We made some cookies that were yummy!

Some of the great stories we read included The Cow Who Laid an Egg, Three Little Pigs, Hogwash, and The Flea Who Sneezed.

We enjoyed a trip to the Children's Museum where we got to play in the Big Red Barn!

Happy Birthday to Kevin and Melinda!
