Farm Unit - Cows

Kaleb is currently learning using Winter Promise - Journeys of Imagination. We are learning about farms and this week, it was a focus on cows.

Kaleb colored a page for the poem Have You Ever Seen a Purple Cow? I found this printable from Kjersten Rathke's TPT store (link below).

We read Click Clack Moo and Kaleb worked on a printable book based on the story. He added what each set of animals asked the farmer for...the goats asked for more tin to chew, the pigs wanted more mud etc...  The printable came from Apples and ABC's (link below).

He added his cow to his farm mural which is shaping up, don't you think?

It is super cute and gracing our hallway right now.

Kaleb is practicing his days of the week, months, counting to 100, and adding stickers to his counting to 100 days of school.

He started his second Before the Code Book B. He loves these activities.

He worked on an exploding milk experiment. He used blue food coloring to add to his milk. He then added baking soda and vinegar to see what it would do. This idea came from Mess for Less (link below).

Since we were learning about cows, I thought it would be fun to have a milk tasting. I found several varieties of milk - strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. You can sense his excitement.

His favorite milk was strawberry.

He also has been practicing writing his numbers. He works through a new number worksheet each day.

Another book we read was It looks Like Spilt Milk. Not too shabby for cow week. His favorite was probably the milk tasting. I was hoping to have him milk a cow but that may have to wait:)
