I cannot believe that the holidays are almost coming!!
This week we continue working with The Farm/La Granja unit. The kids did a great job learning animal’s names and sounds. This week we read a book El Chivo en la Huerta/ The Goat in the Orchard, and Dubi, Dubi Muu book. The kiddos enjoyed this book that shows us a trip to the county fair and involves secretly entering a talent contest-unbeknownst to Farmer Brown-to win a trampoline. In the contest tres vacas/three cows, cuatro ovejas/four sheeps, cuatro cerdos/ four pigs and un pato/one duck participated. After reading the book the kids were singing the same as animals did, in different tones. 
Also, the kiddos did different projects, such as chivo/goat paper plate and a goat mask. In addition, I explained to them about cows and what they give us, as example, leche/milk, queso/cheese, mantequilla/butter, and meat. So, we did a little experiment and they milked a “cow” by hand. It works just like a real cow!!!! All I did was fill a rubber glove with water and a bit of tempera paint to make it white and a tiny bit thicker than water. I poked a hole in one of the fingers. Then, I hung my little “Milk the Cow” I had to pinch off one of the utters with my thumb and pointer finger to trap the milk in the utter-so that it doesn’t go back up. Then, the kids squeeze it!! The kids think this is the neatest thing ever!
