Farm / Food week

FARM WEEK / FOOD WEEK 2018
I hope everyone had a nice time visiting with family and friends during the Thanksgiving holiday. We will be exploring the world of food and where it comes from this week. We will have one last round of gobble songs and some new farm songs. We will be using fruit and vegetables for science activities at the art table. We will be talking about food and how it grows, what they like to eat and what animals eat. We will look at homes for animals and homes for people. As we start the holiday season this is a good time to talk to your child about family, friends, community, things we have and what we are grateful for.

Over In The Barnyard
Over in the barnyard
Early in the morning,
See the yellow chickies
Standing in a row.
See the busy farmer
Giving them breakfast.
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.
Off they go.
Substitute other barnyard animals.

FARM ANIMALS
The cow in barn goes moo, moo, moo,
Moo, moo, moo. Moo, moo, moo,
repeat
All around the farm.
The pig in the pen goes oink, oink, oink,………..
The hens in the coop go cluck……….
The lambs on the hill go baa,……..
The ducks on the pond go quack……

ANIMAL SOUNDS
Are you listening, are you listening
to the dog, to the dog
Hear the dog calling, hear the dog calling
Woof, woof, woof. Woof, woof, woof
Insert other animals
