I'm rather excited about my newest "find", a cute pocket chart for making a "Class Quilt".
I'm wishing I had found it earlier in the year, because it's such an easy way to make a collaborative work of art!
Next year, I'll be doing different quilts throughout the year.
This farm animal quilt turned out lovely.
We recently completed a graphing activity about our favourite farm animals. The children voted for their favourite of five different animals and then we discussed and graphed the results.
On May 29th, we spent the afternoon visiting the Huizinga Dairy farm in Wainfleet. Our hosts, Ken & Dana Huizinga, taught us about what cows eat, gave us a tour and showed us how to milk a cow. We hand fed the heifers, cuddled some kittens, met some friendly bulls, and bottle fed a brand new baby calf that was born that morning! Before we went home, we were treated to ice cream and were given the opportunity to climb up in the tractor. We had so much fun!!! Thank-you Huizingas!!!
