And here is
the second part of the farm theme. It will be all in a single product. Link:
Contrast the pet and farm
animals.
Display the barn cutouts and the house cutouts on the board.
Teacher:
What is this ?
Students:
It is the barn.
Teacher:
What is this ?
Students:
It is the house.
Tell them to come to
the front and place the animals where they belong.
Teacher:
This is the cow. It lives in the farm.
Students:
This is a dog. It lives in a house.
Say an animal and
students say pet or farm:
Teacher:
Hen!
Students:
farm!
Give the students the
animals to sort out on their desks into farm animals and pets.
Then, name four
animals and have the students put them in the same order on their desks.
Teacher:
rooster, goat, turtle, cow.
Have the students
sort the pets and the farm animals on the worksheets. Glue them in place and
then trace all the vocabulary words.
Teacher:
What color is the goat?
Students:
It´s gray.
Teacher:
orange!
Students:
the cat and the fish.
And with the worksheets, there is always something else that we do with them, what about a
board game. I grabbed a file folder. Cut all the animals into squares, glued
them into a path. And that´s a worksheet that has
another use after it is done. I included the farmers and
the all the game board pieces.
I
created snapshots! Students color all the animals and trace the words. Then,
cut and paste the animals where they belong. Cut all the snapshots into
pictures and have them match each mother with it´s baby.
They can also join two snapshots(mother and baby) using chenille. I placed my
matches in a pocket chart.
Or
make a long chain of mother and baby using chenille. Or make a snapshot book
ring.
Farm animals body. Place the hen
flashcard on the board. (LABELING)
Teacher: What animal is this?
Students: It´s a hen.
Point
to the mouth.
Teacher: What is this ?
Students: It´s the mouth.
Continue
with all the known body parts and write them as the students say the word. Then
go with the unknown words.
Teacher: Look, this is the wing. How many wings does a hen
have?
Students: two wings.
Students
can sort with you the legs of all the animals. Write two legs and four legs on
the board. Place the animals where they belong.
Teacher: cow!
Students: four legs!
Give
each group a poster board and an animal cutout. Have them label the body parts.
Place them on a designated wall in the classroom or make a book.
Give
a cutout to each student. Name a body part. The student with the animal that
has the body part mentioned has to stand up and show his/her animal.
Teacher: beak! (students stand up with their cutout)
Place the missing body animals cutouts on the board. Ask the
students.
Teacher: This is the horse. What´s
missing?
Students:
The tail!
Draw the tail. Continue with
the rest of the animals.
Label the parts of the body. I used letters from old
magazines.
I
made this printable accordion book. It can be done an animal per book or join
all the animals.
Animal
positions. Use
the cutouts. Place your cutouts around the barn and start asking questions.
Teacher: What´s is this?
Students: the horse!
Teacher: Where is the horse?
Students:
It´s in the barn.
I added trees, fence, silo to
complete the farm scene.
Students
will color the worksheets and make a 3D farm scene.
Teacher: The pig is pink. (Continue with more animals)
Have
the students make the scene using toilet paper rolls and clips or play dough.
Give
directions for placing the animals or farm parts.
Teacher: The tractor is in front of the barn.
Or have the students
give directions.
Farm Scene. Display the barn
and the silo cutout on the board. Ask the children if they can identify the
scene.
Teacher: Look at the pictures.
What can this be?
Students: a farm.
Then start placing the animals on the
farm and say the name.
Teacher: This is the cow. What
color is the cow?
Students: black and white.
Write the word next to each animal.
Teacher: Is this a hen ?
Students: yes, it is/ No, it
isn´t.
As a review, say the name of an animal
and have a student go to the board and remove it.
Teacher: Martha, Bring me the
rooster.
Have the students write the farm
animals words using the printable green letters and the cutouts, or
dictate words and the first student or group to finish wins.
Sort the animals that live in the barn
and the ones that live out of the barn.
Favorite farm animal
graph. Place the flashcards on the
board.
By using the flashcards students get
more speaking practice ,you get them talking as they describe, compare or
answer questions.
Separate each animal with a line and
start writing the student´s name after asking each student which is their
favorite farm animal. Then have the students talk about the results.
Teacher: Which is Emily´s
favorite animal?
Students: rooster!
Teacher: Who likes the cow?
Students: Will
and David!
Possessive nouns.
Place the farmer flashcard in the middle of the board and all flashcards that
belongs to the farmer as in a mind map. Model a sentence.
Teacher: Who is she?
Students: the farmer.
Teacher: This is the farmer´s
tractor.
Teacher: What is this?
Students: It's a barm.
Teacher: Whose barn is this?
Students: It's the farmer's barn.
I made this interactive book to review
the possessive nouns.
I wanted the book to be interactive. I
saw this idea on Pinterest and gave it a try. It is not hard to do, I would
suggest that you use a lightweight yarn instead of twine like I did. Place a
tape to each cutout behind the book.
First the students have to trace all
the sentences and color the scene. Then as they read, they pull a string to the
picture that the sentence is talking about.
Student: This is the Farmer´s
tractor. (pulls the string that has the
tractor).
Or simply, the students paste each
picture where it corresponds.
Count the farm animals. Place
several fences on the board.
Make several copies of each farm
animal. Place them in each fence.
Teacher: How many horses are
there?
Students: one, two, three. Three
horses.
Teacher: What color are the
horses?
Students: They are brown.
Continue with the rest of the animals.
Have the students say which
letter make the plurals for the farm animals.
Teacher: One cow. Two cows.
Students: letter S!
Point to each animal and have them say
the plural. When you get to goose, tell them about the difference which is
geese.
Students make craft stick corrals.
Have them put their animals into each corral using the dice. Go by
each group and ask questions.
Teacher: How many hens are there?
Students: one, two, three. Three
hens.
Then individually have the students
place only four animals in their corrals. Play Bingo! If the student has the
animal named then that animal has to be taken out of the corral.
The winner is the student that has
their corral empty first.
Make the crown headband and
use them for a simple game.
Make different amount of farm animals
crowns to wear.
Place the barn, fence, trees or any
other cutout around the room. Students listen to your instruction.
Teacher: Hens, walk to the barn!
Horses ,gallop to the fence! Cows, stomp to the trees !
When the students are in groups at
their destination. Count the number of animals.
Teacher: How many hens are at the
barn ?
Students: one, two, three, four, five, six. Six hens.
Make a grid with the
flashcards.
Teacher: B2 ! What are they?
Students: They are roosters!
Teacher: How many roosters are
there?
Students: There are two
roosters!
There is/There are.
Make a farm scene on the board using the cutouts or flashcards.
Point to each animal. Teacher:
There is a cow.
Teacher: There´s a hen and a
horse.
Teacher: Some animals are not
here. There isn´t a pig.
Have the students give more examples
of the animals that are missing.
Teacher: Is there a duck on the
farm ?
Students: No, there isn´t.
Do the same with there are/
there aren´t.
