Down on the Farm

Mooove over, the farm animals are coming to preschool. For the next two week, the preschoolers are going to be learning about farm animals and harvest. This is such a fun unit for kids! We are singing Old MacDonald Had a Farm and the Farmer in the Dell and learning the nursery rhymes Little Boy Blue and Baa Baa Black Sheep. Our letters of the week are Cc for cow and Jj for jam. We will be making chocolate chip cookies and jello jigglers for our cooking lessons.
