July 22, "What is a farm?"

This class was the introductory class about animals.  We began by sharing what we already know about farm animals.  Then we sang a song “Old MacDonald had a Farm”. We then talked about the sounds that different animals make.

Our literacy activity was to portray an animal with sounds and mimicry and the rest had to guess the animal. The scientists loved it! They had to pick an animal puzzles pieces and mimic them. It was a lot of fun!

The hands-on activity for this class was making a paper bag puppet – a sheep. This took a little longer than expected, mostly because every child liked it so much that they wanted it to be perfect, so all needed “help” to some extent.

Home practice: I recommend to sing “Old MacDonald had a Farm”
