E-I-E-I-O

We worked in cooperative learning groups to brainstorm adjectives about farm animals.  Using these adjectives, they wrote poems and added art with one of their most useful tools...their hands!

Charley's cow is slow, spotted, and big.  He also likes to walk around!

We also made farm mobiles to hang in our classroom!  (You will have to wait until Open House to check them out!)  The students had partner discussions about different foods and items that come from cows, chickens, pigs, and sheep.  Then they searched for these pictures in advertisements and magazines.

One of the activities we work on with our Letter of the Week is our ABC Poetry Folders.  We search the poem for our Letter of the Week, sight words, and rhyming words.  The students have fun acting out the poem and illustrating a picture to go along with it.
