Ball Butting Goats!

Today we learned about goats. My son had two goats when he was younger, so they are probably my favorite farm animal. We learned all the facts about goats but the highlight of the day was when we pretended TO BE GOATS! Each student took turns head butting the ball across the room while everyone cheered them on, like a goat of course!

Yes, there is a student on the table.  Certain students were selected to show how

 goats like to climb! This is normally not allowed in my classroom.

My son's goats, Jack and Allison.

Cow Painting!

More fun with "milking cows"!  Fill each glove with paint.

Puzzles!

 During center time today, I introduced our new farm puzzles.  The kids loved them!  Thanks to my aide, Mrs. Cole, I also have a great way to store them now.

Great way to practice sequential order.

This little guy was so proud that he could spell horse!

We can already read and build equations!

Measure like a farmer!

Today we learned how to measure the height of a horse, just like farmers do!  The only tools we needed were our hands.

Looks just like a real horse! 

I modeled to the class how we could measure our friends the same way.

They loved it!

Take a look at what's happening while they are "playing"!  Name practice, number writing, measurement, counting, teamwork!

It's Farm Week in Preschool!

This is what the students saw this morning when they arrived!
