Farm animals!

Awhile ago we discussed gardening and what types of food grows in gardens and what types of food comes from animals.  Today we made pigs in a blanket, drank milk, and ate hard boiled eggs.  We discussed farm animals more.  We made the animal sounds and talked about the animals and what they provide for us.  Cows give us milk and meat, pigs give us meat, chickens give us meat and eggs. 

Will has been working on rhyming words.  So during the farm animal discussion we were practicing rhyming words to the farm animal.  Cow, ow, wow. Pig, wig, twig. Sheep, heep, steep. Morgan loves to rhyme and Will is doing very well.  He names a rhyming word.  Morgan thinks of her own rhymes throughout the day.  Lydia counted the Pigs In A Blanket for us, counting up to eight. 

They loved the Pigs In A Blanket and ate more than one!

I am looking forward to gardening this year and teaching way more than growing plants.  Will, Morgan, and Lydia are understanding where and how we get our food.  They make the connection while eating and while grocery shopping.
