Farm Animal Thematic Unit

Let's all go to the Farm Reproducible word and picture flash cards and a whole page of flash card fun and games introduce your students to the animals that live there. Next, staple the reproducible barn cover to sheets of blank paper and cut out to create a shape writing book. Have the students write and illustrate a page each day they learn about a new farm animal The students can also color, cut and create their very own farm diorama complete with barn, animals and a fence to keep them in A large reproducible student book introduces the numbers 0-10, one page at a time. Each page features different farm animals, space for writing and spelling out the number, and a coloring key Your students will love singing about "Little Bo Peep" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with their stick puppets. Put the baby ducklings in order behind Mama Duck to form a number line (and count by ones, twos, fives, tens, or....) We have included a variety of farm animal figures that are put together with brads so that the heads and legs move. Great as story starters or to decorate the bulletin board Your students become farmers by drawing in their own facial features and gluing the almost life-sized head to the cartoon body. There is so much more in this unit, including two end-of-the-unit certificates: one to send home and one for display on the classroom "Wall of Fame."
