Preschool Theme: Farm Animals

Happy Birthday, Jonathan.





Circle Time. The kids showed off their names they traced. All so very proud.

Art Time. Traced farm animals. I bought these for preschool. The kids practiced tracing and we talked about which animals we see at a farm and which we see at the zoo.

Pig Nose.
Materials needed: Yarn, egg carton, black marker, pink paint

Directions: Cut the egg carton bottoms (the part the eggs sit in) into its twelve sections. Let the children paint it and put the nostrils on it. Next attach string to both sides (staple or punch holes and tie) and the kids have cute pig noses.

Academic Time. Celebrate letter V. We practiced drawing letter Vs on dry erase boards (I got the ones with lines on them). For a change, we went outside on a bench.
Math Time. Click here to print out this fishbowl.








Snack and Story. Bears in yogurt.

Music Time. We acted like different animals to the music.

Science Experiment.

What happens to the eggs?

Get several raw eggs and place them into different liquids (we did rootbeer, vinegar, red dyed water, lemon juice, and milk). I wrote down the guesses as to what the kids thought would happen to each egg (we'll take a look at them next week). milk: G-explode, H-crack Root beer: J-explode Lemon Juice: G-explode Vinegar: G-explode Red: Explode, D-turn red



For our second science experiment, we put little capsules in hot water and they grew to be farm animals (thanks Aviana).


Games. I played farm animals sounds (googled to find them) and had the kids guess what they were.
