Farm week was full of hands on activities to help these children learn and appreciate where their food comes from. We all decided it's a lot of work to be a farmer. It is quite fun to sing about farmers, read books about farms, and imitate farm animals. What a wonderful week!
Sorting, stacking, counting- peg boards are so much fun!
There is usually a lot of activity going on when we go outdoors-balancing, running, building, throwing, hitting, etc.
And oodles of creativity!
Speaking of creativity, painting with milk sure sparked the creativity in these children.
They experimented as they mixed the colors together and found even more ways to be creative.
Unfortunately, the milk never dried completely and was still sticky on Thursday morning. Instead of sending these home (your welcome) here are pictures of their masterpieces.

We started our second farm day grinding wheat for our bread. It's sure noisy!
Everyone got a chance to add all the ingredients, then make their own loaves. It was quite a messy process, hence no pictures. We ate the fresh bread for snack and they all declared they are great bakers.
I hope you get a chance to sample the loaves that they brought home.
Visiting a neighbors garden, which is as close to a farm as we could get.
They were so intrigued by the variety of plants and especially liked sampling a fresh pomegranate.
Time to start our own garden that of course involved filling pots with lots of dirt.
And of course playing in the dirt as well. Oh they were dirty children today!
The don't look like much now but these little seeds are going to grow to be great!
