Milking the Cow M/W Class

Our "milking the cow" took place in the kitchen instead of a barn and with a latex glove instead of a cow. Maybe not authentic, but very fun just the same!John, Sam, & Grant

Shake it to Make it!

Making butter the old fashioned way is simple, but a lot of hard work. With some help from fast-paced music students did a lot of shaking to turn cream into butter. Yum!Cameron & Erin

Pancakes, Pancakes!

Pancakes, Pancakes! by Eric Carle is a delightful story that provided several fun activities for the students. A farm boy named Jack desperately wants a pancake for breakfast. However, he must go through the tedious process of "naturally" obtaining each ingredient for the pancakes. Below you will see the students getting flour by threshing the wheat and then grinding it into flour. Erin

Pencils and erasers acted as flails for threshing. Everyone was surprised, including the teacher, to see how easily little wheat kernels popped out as the children "beat the wheat!"

Combined Classes - Lots of Energy and Fun!

Thank you, again, to the moms who volunteered on the days we combined classes - Genevieve, Julia, Stephanie, and Trang.

Free Play was extra fun and interesting with double the personalities!

Gathering Eggs and Duck Masks, M/W Class

"Quack, Quack!" Ducks were the first farm animal we studied. Debbie, our faithful volunteer, wishes she had a mask right about now! She prefers to step aside when I pull out the camera. :)

Free Play Fun, T/Th Class

I enjoy observing the clever and creative imaginations of our students and Free Play is one of the best times to see their little minds at work.

Cameron builds another amazing machine!




"What are you doing, Hannah?" "Reading to my baby." (Sweet)

The kitchen is a favorite spot for Ruby. Here she creates another delicious meal!

When they aren't dressing up as princesses, McKenna and Kathleen have made good use of a set of horses.






The little red house, tiny furniture, and even tinier dolls are occupying the fingers and minds of Erin and Afton.
