Last Thursday, we were invited into Nicholas' Turtle Class for a "Farm Party & Barn Dance". I had strep throat so I couldn't go, but Tom was there to celebrate the conclusion of the "farm" unit of study with Nicholas and all his Turtle friends. Nicholas thoroughly enjoyed all the fun activities they did while learning all about farms. They got to visit a petting farm, see a REAL John Deere tractor, build and stuff a scarecrow with hay, and make butter from scratch. They even turned the pretend center into a barn and silo! All fun stuff...Miss Hollenbeck and the Turtle team did a great job.
But I think my personal favorite was the 3-D farm animal project! Each child had to vote for their favorite farm animal and then they made one. Nicholas chose a horse and he named her "Ashley" (which he pronounces as "Ash-wee"). How cute is this craft!?! :)
