Finishing our farm unit by learning about cows! (And a freebie!!)


Last week we finished our farm unit by focusing our learning on cows, we had a great time!  We also worked really hard on our farm themed centers!


Our farm themed writing center.  This child was working on writing labels and will add a picture next!

Practicing 10 frames (we were rolling large foam dice to decide how many to color)

Working on 1-to-1 correspondence and also our fine motor skills!!  We were using a large tweezer to move the cotton balls onto the sheep :)

Teachers- these centers (and more!!) are available in my Fun on the Farm packet on TPT!

We began using this board to help keep track of the strategies we are working on, right now we are all using our "Eagles Eyes" to look at the picture to help figure out words we don't know!  (LOVE this packet from Deanna Jump)
This game was called MOO!  We were practicing quickly recalling our teen numbers by being the first to swat the cow that had the number we were looking for.


We watched a great video about milking cows this week and also turned a rubber glove filled with milk into an udder!!  Then we wrote these "How To" books explaining how to milk a cow. 

We had a great time collecting leaves and making these rubbings in art!!

This was the video we watched, so interesting!!





And finally, as promised, for my teacher friends here is a Freebie from my Pretty Pumpkin Math and Literacy Centers. The entire packet is just $4.00 on TPT!!!
