We feel MOOvelous at the Fam!

We were able to see lots and lots of animals on our trip to

the farm and at the auction.

Moooooove over!

Here come the kindergarten kids!

Many things come from cows.

Milk, meat and marshmallows!

Who knew?

Here we are getting a first-hand experience at the

"Cow Hospital".

This machine helps the farmer hold the cows,

while they are getting shots.

Get ready for a squeeze!

The horses at the SUU Farm were fabulous!

Some were old and then. . .

One was very, very, new!

Only four days old and we were the

first to see the new foal.

The story of this baby was so interesting.

The owner didn't even know the mama was

expecting.  Surprise!

Come to find out, the baby is half wild mustang.

DARLING!

Feeding the lambs was a highlight!

Smile if you liked the farm!

Hey!  We love the farm!

Going to the Farm Makes us Happy!

The SUU horses were so cool!

We loved learning about all the different kinds of horses.

Even though this baby was only four days old, mama let

us get up close and personal.

We got to pet both of these amazing animals!

Feeding the lambs was awesome!

Watching was just about as fun as actually holding the bottle.

Lots of helping hands make this big job, easy!

Thanks for working on the farm today!

We were so good to listen to the farmer.

Mrs. Topham has the best classes 

in ALL OF UTAH!

Smile is you love horses!

We Love the Farm!

Lambs and Sheep

Farm Animals are the best!

E-I-E-I-O

Say, "Cheese"

Hey, that comes from a cow!

At the auction!

Who's Been Eating My Porridge?

In April we began our study of animals.

We learned about oviparous animals and

then we learned about wild animals.

 

 We read many versions of the story of 

"The Three Bears".

We talked about fiction and non-fiction books

during our study of wild animals.

It was great to write non-fiction stories about

our favorite wild animals.

BUT. . .

 acting out the story of "The Three Bears"

was the BEST!!

This is how it goes.

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme,

there were three bears.

 A papa, and a mama, and a baby bear.

One day they were a talkin', in the woods they went a walkin'.

 When along came a girl with beautiful curls and knocked upon the door.

No one was home so she went right in and had herself a ball.

 Got tired and went upstairs and fell asleep.

When. . . 

Home, Home, Home came the three bears.

And the papa bear said, "Someone has been eating my porridge"!

And the mama bear said, "Someone has been eating my porridge"!

Hey bop a ree bear, said the little wee bear, "Someone has eaten my ZOUP"!

I got such a kick out of the students this year.

One little guy giggled so much during this part, that

we just couldn't quit laughing.

We almost didn't finish the story!

50th Day Makes Us Happy!

On the 50th Day of School in the New Year,

each student brought a collection of 50 things from home.

We laid them out in a long line and them compared lengths with

all of our classmates.  Wow!  Some collections were very long!

We made necklaces with 50 fruit loops!

YUMMY!

We did 50 things during the day!

10 songs

10 books

5 dances

5 centers

5 activities

5 counting games

10 smiles

all of this equals 50 happy students!

Can it really be the 50th day?

This year has flown by and the students are

getting so smart!

I love my kindergarten kiddos!

LET'S EAT!

Lots of Fun on the 50th Day!

We got to color in a part of the 50 each time we

completed an activity!

Can we really accomplish 50 things in one day?

We worked together to make BIG 50 PROJECTS!

"Our cookie has 50 chocolate chips".

"Our heart has 50 numbers".

"Our snake has 50 triangles".

Together the students came up with an idea of what to make,

and the 50 objects to place on the project.

They were so creative and did a great job cooperating with the group!

"Our cupcake has 50 sprinkles".

Hooray! Hooray!  For the 50th Day!

A great big smile for a great day!

"Our zebra has 50 stripes".

"Our butterfly has 50 stripes".

"Our lion has 50 hairs".

"HAIRlarious"!
