The Orange Classroom went to the farm this week, or as close to it as possible without leaving our school. The room was filled with farm animals, many kinds of barns, puzzles, books, songs, and art projects all related to the farm. Many of the offerings are shown below..

Every day we sang a song using stuffed farm animals as prompts. The children loved this song and sang with gusto. They could be heard all the way down the hall and in the office. I encourage you to sing this at home - you’ll have quite a treat. When you start the words, they will know the tune.

I went to visit a farm one day. I saw a cow across the way. And what do you think I heard it say? Moo, moo, moo. Moo, moo moo.
….sheep….Baa, baa,baa

…pig…Oink, oink, oink

…horse…Neigh, neigh, neigh

…dog…Woof, woof, wook

….duck…Quack, quack, quack

….cat….Meow, meow, meow

…goose….Honk, honk, honk

…rooster….Cockadoodle doo, cockadoodle doo, cockadoodle doo,

Our bulletin board is a crowded farm. As more animals have been going up during the week, the children have been commenting on the animals that got out of their fence and have gone into that of other animals. Our chickens are special: they lay eggs with the names of the children!
