neigh, cluck, cock-a-doodle-do, and maaa.

We would be great farmers! learning about farm animals has been so much fun. Horses that work hard, chickens that give us eggs, Roosters that wake us up, and goats that well.. eat things. (we learned about leprechauns too but i don't think they live on a farm!)

Thursday the 29th of March, we are going on a field trip to Hamblin Dairy Farms. 3454 W. 2700 S. Syracuse. Field trip starts at 9:30. Please only students, moms (or dad's) and siblings. They only allow 25 people total. (all together, including the siblings that usually come, we are at 23 so we should be fine.) This should be a really fun field trip!

Down on the Farm.

Yee Haw! we are learning all about farms. Pet day was so much fun. It was cute to see all their different pets and have them tell us all about them! We learned all about how a farm works. Then all about cows and their job on a farm. We even made our own butter, and got to eat it. It was a lot of fun! Today we learned about sheep and how we use their wool to make clothes. They thought that was pretty cool.

This Thursday is our Saint Patrick's day party. Should be lots of fun! make sure to have your child wear green! Then don't forget that Monday the 19th there is no school.

Community helpers

Our month on community helpers was a great month! we covered every kind of community helper from bankers to veterinarians. and today was a great day to finish off with the kids talking about what their parents do for career day. The kids were so cute standing up in front of their class doing their presentations. I can tell they have been practicing, they did a great job! We also celebrated leap year today! we held leaping contests, and did lily pad counting for math. it was fun!

Please make sure you are checking backpacks for notices and calendars for important dates. Some of the kids were unaware of the career day we had today. If your child was one of the ones that missed it today we would love to hear what their mom or dad does for work tomorrow, or next Wednesday. We just have them do a small presentation in front of the class telling us what mom or dad does for work. they can bring visual aides, pictures, or come dressed up. it doesn't have to be very long. it's always fun to see them talk about mom or dad.

To kick off Farm month on Monday March 5th,  is PET DAY! another day the kids have been looking forward to! on pet day each child will be able to bring in their pet to share with the class. if your child 's pet is too big, or excited, to bring into the class then you can have your child bring in pictures, or draw a picture of their pet, and things that they use to play with them. if your pet is brought in a container, and can stay, you are more than welcome to leave it with us for the whole class. if your child does not have a pet they can bring a stuffed pet or a drawing of a pet they would like to have one day or a picture of a neighbor pet they love. Should be a lot of fun! (if you have a pet that can't stay, but still want to bring, feel free to bring them at the beginning of class and let the kids see!)
