Farm Morning Work Freebie
Happy Sunday friends! I am currently enjoying a much needed stress free weekend. I have gotten almost nothing accomplished other than some glorious r&r!! This semester has been packed full of crazy weekends for me and this teacher is pooped. I did create this one thing for my kiddos to use this week as we head into our second week of farm. We are going to be focusing more on gardens and food grown on farms this week after having tons of fun with the animals last week. I made just 1 week of farm morning work to use this week (basically recycling some skills from the spring pack). Click the pictures to find it in my store :)

Fun on the Farm (Freebies)
We have been getting ready for our big field trip to the farm this week. This is one of my favorite units to teach especially because right in the middle of our unit we get to go to the actual farm and milk a cow and hold ducks and explore see tractors. I've been pretty bad at remembering to take pics this week but here's a few activities we have been doing.
These pigs and cow writing craftvities came out super cute. The cow is from my friend's class, the pigs were inspired by Michelle at Apples and Abc's and her cute farm craftivities.
Next week we are going to read "The Very Busy Spider" and make these books and webs to retell the story. One of my teammates made it today and they turned out super cute!
You can grab the book here.
I made these super simple math mats out of construction paper to be mud and grass for some pig addition stories. I forgot to snap a picture during our whole group lesson but we told different story problems, modeled them and then wrote the number sentences on a white board. Then I gave the kids a barn to glue to the mat and let them make their own story and they wrote the number sentence in the barn. They went CRAZY for these and were so excited to take them home.
Click here for the file. There are also some colored pigs for you to use. It's hard to see in the pic but I copied the kids' pigs on pink.
Tomorrow we head to the farm!! Leave me some love if you download the files...I love to know who is using my things in their rooms :)

More farm fun.
We have finally finished our farm unit. It has been a while since I spent 2 full weeks teaching 1 theme. It feels like we have been looking at pictures of pigs and cows and horses forever but I'd much rather have lots of time than not enough! We had a great week with lots of fun and LOTS of learning. I have a ton of pictures to share so I'll get right to them :)
The day after our field trip we made farm circle maps of all the things we saw. (The circle map is from the lovely Shannon Martin at Kindergarten Hoppenings and the pictures are from KPM Doodles)
Short vowel chicks and eggs. It's hard to see in this picture but the eggs made little flaps that lifted up to show the chicks underneath with the vowels.
We read Mrs Wishy Washy and had animal crackers in chocolate pudding for snack (I found farm animal crackers at the Dollar Store...win!!)
We made roosters with ten frames on their feathers to match the teen numbers on their backs (I will put ten frames on ANYTHING! haha)
We made these darling little sheep. One side showed them before they got sheared and the other side was after they were sheared and had the silly sentence.
The sheep were the final touch on our farm scene (my barn didn't turn out as cute as I had hoped but it worked)
When we were learning about how farmers grow food on the farm we tasted peas and carrots and graphed which ones we liked better.
Then they made their own version of the veggie they liked best and wrote about it. (I had a few that wanted to make both so they wrote about how much they DIDN'T like peas on their pea pods haha)
These sight word farms turned out so cute. I copied the animals and the barn with sight words on them. They got to build their farm and then wrote me 3 sentences using the words on the animals. It was a challenge for some of them to construct sentences with some of the new words but they did great!
My teaching partner next door got her chicken eggs today so we were talking all about chicks and eggs. I got this idea from Piterest originally but it came from Valerie over at All Students Can Shine . They LOVED getting to tear open the eggs after the glue dried!
I love how this guy is just barely peeking out :)
Making 10 circle maps...ten frames ON a circle map: these are a few of my favorite things ;)
I got this idea from Kinder by Kim
Whew!! I told you that was a lot! High five to you if you stayed with me through all that. To celebrate the end of a great 2 weeks both of my farm products are 20% off right now in my TPT store until Sunday.
Have a great weekend :)

TLC style pigs and cows
Farm animal stamping and animal names (these are from my farm book pack)
Scrambled sentences
Ok now to the giveaway!
Both my TPT store AND my blog hit 20 followers today so I am taking that as a sign to host my first giveaway (farm themed of course!!) I'm going to steal the rules from the fabulous Nicole over at Rowdy in Room 300 partly because I really loved her farm unit that I got from her giveaway last week, and party because I like the idea that everybody wins :)
This is very simple. Follow my blog and TPT store and leave me a comment (with your email) and I will send you my Fun on the Farm mini-unit! If you mention the giveaway on your blog I'll throw in my Spring math unit.
Easy right? You have until Friday at midnight!!

Almost Thursday already??
Boy this week really is flying by! I was out at an inservice all day about the Common Core State Standards. My head is about ready to explode but I have to say I really like where they are going. Nothing's perfect of course, but I'm kind of excited to dive into these standards next year.
We are LOVING our unit on bugs right now. The kids are having so much fun learning about all the different kinds of insects and making comparisons between them. Our caterpillars and ladybug larva arrived on Tuesday. I had never seen ladybug larva before...I had to look on the package to figure out what I was holding in my hands ha!
On top of all our insect excitement the kids are literally counting the days until our farm field trip next week. I just posted a literacy mini unit in my TPT store
Click here to find it.
AND to celebrate making it to 10 followers (I'm all about celebrating the small stuff) I'm posting a farm freebie (I did this earlier in the week but my post mysteriously disappeared - which is fine in the end because the freebie I posted in that post had a mistake...oops)
I have been making these morning work sheets for a few weeks now and I love them! I can hit all kinds of different skills that I want my kids to practice and they really don't take much time at all. I usually copy them back to back with a math on one side and literacy on the other. This set is farm themed...all ready for next week :)
