Torah Tots Preschool Blog: Pre-Nursery Farm!

Howdy! This past unit we hopped on the tractor and headed to the Farm! We met some animals: Hershel the horse, Shelley the sheep, Chester the Chicken and Moo the cow (our friends helped name our cow). We learned all about how the farmers grow vegetables and so much more! It was a YEE HAW good time, Take a look and see!

We got started off with some science discovery! Sorting animals from wild to farm.

Making moo the cow!

No farm is complete without a Barn!

Collaborative art projects are so important for kids. They build community, foster cooperation, eliminate competition, and most importantly they are social and FUN!

Gross motor fun with our parachute!

Farm mathwork sheet!

Using paint bags, we were able to explore and see the different foot prints each animal on the farm has!

Hershel the Horse!

We partnered this art activity with one of the unit based songs we've been singing by circle time for our farm unit:

Milking the Cow! This science activity mixed with dramatic play really made us feel like we were on the farm!

Literacy development with our farm vocabulary! There were great conversations happening everywhere! Children were having discussions if the letter matched or not, working together to find the right match, making connections to students names and talking about the sounds the letters made!

Fine motor fun making Shelley, our sheep, with cotton balls and pinchers!

Sensory time feeling the different vegetables that grow on the farm!

This week we welcomed our caterpillars! we were so excited to hold them and say hi! we can't wait to really discover them when we jump into our next unit on butterflies and bugs!
