Farm
This week in Language Group the children went with the Speech-Language Pathologist in small groups to the hallway outside of their classrooms. A variety of animals were tapped to the hallway wall, some were farm animals and some were not. Each child was given a clipboard and a crayon to complete a checklist of farm animals that we saw on the wall.
The children helped each other find different animals on the wall that were the same animal on their check lists. Some animals looked the same and some looked different (the cow pictures were different, black and white cow on the checklist and a brown and white cow on the wall). We also went through the pictures and asked if it was a farm animal (i.e.: Does a whale live on the farm?).
Once we found all the farm animals, we counted how many each child found and wrote the number on the bottom of the checklist.
This activity worked on:
-vocabulary related to farm animals
-labeling animals
-following directions
-answering yes/no questions
-counting one to one correspondence
Things you can do at home include:
-sing farm songs "Old MacDonald"
-play with a farm animal set and label the animals
-ask your child yes/no questions
