It was so wonderful to see you all at Open House! The kiddos have been working so hard and they were so proud to share all of their projects with you! I’ve waited to blog so it would all be a surprise! Here are some pics of the classroom!

Room 18’s Farm!
|
 |
| After reading Click, Clack, Moo! the students wrote a letter to Farmer Brown from the farm animals’ perspective. Some asked him for surfboards, necklaces, a bigger barn! They also typed the letters themselves! They drew the animals and traced them with black paint-using a Q tip! Tempura paint was used for the background. |
 |
| Tops and Bottoms was a funny story about a lazy bear and a hard working (and clever) hare! The students drew vegetables that grow on the “top” and “bottom” of the soil. They used oil pastels and then painted the rest of the project using watercolors. |
 |
| Down on the Farm is another story we love! Each student recreated a page from the book using oil pastels and watercolors. They wrote the words from the book to go along with their pictures. |
 |
| After learning about cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens we made farm animals! They wrote facts about them in their “All About the Farm” brochures-did you know chickens sleep with one eye open?! |
 |
| These farm landscapes tied in perfectly with our plant and farm unit. Using tempera paint, the students painted “patches” of farmland and used oil pastels to draw a pattern in each section. Our “Photo Booth” Kindergarten wall will be up until the end of the year. Grab one of our fun farm masks and take a pic! |
 |
| This was one of their favorite projects. They took selfies and then shared facts about themselves! Easy questions to answer were: what is your favorite part of school, what do you want to be when you grow up. It was difficult for some to come up with words to describe themselves! They really had to think about it and it was so awesome to see their perspectives-of themselves! |
 |
| After reading classic story, The Little Red Hen, we had to make some bread for ourselves! When I asked them “Who will help me make this bread?” Everyone shouted, “I will!” (In the story, the animals are too lazy to help! I’m glad we have so many eager helpers in Room 18!) Each student got a chance to knead the bread (in a bag!). |
 |
| We couldn’t eat the delicious bread without some butter! (We made that too!) |
 |
| It was a hit! |
