Last week we learned all about farms. I came up with a farm words spelling list that Dax would copy.
I had these little sticky notes with each letter of the alphabet on them 3 times. I would give him three words to spell and he would use the sticky notes to spell the words.
Then a farm coloring page contest between him, sister and myself....(I won of course)
We looked up our farm words in our encyclopedias checked out from the library. We learned a lot about how farms work and what kids of things are grown on farms.
Then we put together our Melissa and Doug farm puzzle. I absolutely love these large sturdy puzzles.
We talked about farm animals and even played with them on our puzzle.
More farm books that we read.
Then a healthy farm snack (no we didn't eat the butter plain) Cheese, ham, yogurt and milk.
our glorious puzzle
We really used our imaginations and played with all our animals on top of our farm puzzle. I sat down on the floor with the kids for a good hour just pretending I was some of these animals. The kids loved it.
