~Old Mac Donalds Farm~



Main lesson book
Beginning reading creating Old Mac Donald Farm Book







We have read lots of farmyard tales & stories.......
Our Circletime has been very active with lots of animal actions
and sounds..........................................

The barnyard dance is about to begin
hitch up your pants and jump right ihusk the corn
feed the chickens
crow with the rooster in the early morning
bow to your partner
wave hello
clap your hands and tap your toe
pick the apples
milk the cow
hoe the weeds and push the plow
the barnyard dance has come to an end



The cow in the barn goes moo mo0o mooo
the pig in the pen goes oink oink oink
the hens in the coop go cluck cluck cluck
the lambs on the hill go baaa baa baaa
the ducks on the pond go quack quack quack

St Francis


We read Stories about St Francis..........
Made a special place for him in our learning area.
We are going to build a shrine out in the garden
to bring his energy to our home
and fill it with bird seed to feed animals
which are hungry.....
It has been a special time................

~Animals a reflection of Us ~

Animals
What is our real relationship to animals
are they here for us to use as food and to suffer at our expense...
or are they our friends and something to treasure
another beautiful creation of life its self................
To me when I touch an animal...........
hold one in my arms.................
look into their eyes.............
I have a deep sense of appreciation and oneness with them
I respect,value and admire each expression of life they are.
I feel we share this world with them
and they are worthy of our care & love...
To be Human and really a part of life
is to have a heart closeness ..............
and awareness we are all one
and if you can extend a kind hand to another life
who also shares this wonderful world................
we make a truly peaceful place for us all to dwell in.......
and live in harmony with one another.~
