Down on the Farm & a SALE!

Moo! Oink! Cock-a-doodle-doo! This week, we'll be working on our farm animals unit. Last week we learned about the farm animals (They were surprised to find out that sheep had tails!), practiced describing them and guessed the different animals by the noises they make. 

This week we'll be finishing up our interactive readers to take home and practice reading in English! First, we colored the animals for the story. 

Then students had to read and guess the farm animal by its description. Once they figured out which animal it was, they had to cut out and glue the animal onto the page to complete their readers!

This interactive emergent reader is part of my farm animals unit, Down on the Farm. Click on the pictures below to check it out!

Last but not least, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, TPT is having a sale! The products in my store will be on sale Tuesday and Wednesday this week!

We Recycle, Yes We Do!

In Spain, Earth Day is a bit overlooked, so I jumped at the chance to generate some Reduce-Reuse-Recycle awareness amongst my little ones. We started by learning these catchy songs, which they picked up in no time!

We also created a beautiful Earth Day mural out of recycled paper to display at the school entrance for all the Moms and Dads to see!

We talked about the planet Earth and why it's blue and green and then made a We Recycle! Earth magnet for our fridge to remember to recycle at home! My preschoolers also became pros at separating trash into the different recycling containers, gray for organic, green for glass, blue for paper and yellow for plastic.

To wrap up this special week and tie the celebration into Book Day (April 23rd), we read Big Earth, Little Me. My preschoolers loved this book and the interactive lift-the-flaps design. They also had no trouble relating the positive Earth-friendly habits back to their own lives! 

The songs and magnet craftivity, along with lots of other fun activities, are part of my Let's Go Green Earth Day Pack.
