Farm Fusion Workshop 1 / Week 4 (Goats)

Writing Assignment

Choose one!

• Think about the story of the Grumpy Goat.  Write about a time when you were in a bad mood.  What cheered you up?  
• Write advice for someone who is grumpy.  What should they do?  Explain!
• Do you remember how the other farm animals forgave the Grumpy Goat, and helped him when he was sad?  Write about how important it is to forgive others.  You can give an example if you'd like!

 Finish any of the goat pages that are in your notebook.  We will finish up our goat lesson on Wednesday!

I am very proud of ALL OF YOU for your hard work with the writing assignments!  Keep doing your best!

Now, remember those "babies" that you played with today?  Here is them in this video when they were just a few weeks old!

Farm Fusion Workshop 1 / Week 3 (Goats)

For this week's writing assignment, I want you to think about the story that we read about the Angora goat, Geraldine, and how his Navajo friend wove his mohair into a beautiful rug.  You have two choices for this assignment:

Choice #1 - Tell us what you liked best about the book and why.
Choice #2 - Come up with you own story!  This time, make it narrated by a dairy goat!

• Visit this site to learn more about the food groups!  Click and learn! 
• Here are some Nutrition Games for you to play!
• Color your worksheet on the Food Guide Pyramid.  The Fats and Oils group is the smallest group, which will be yellow.

We hand-milk our goats, but most people with lots of goats use milking machines.  Here is a video that shows how a large dairy goat farm operates!




Optional

• For those working on handwriting (print), here is a worksheet for you!
• Favorite Dairy Foods Worksheet

Farm Fusion Workshop 1 / Week 2 (Goats)

• The silly goat in the video is named Buttermilk.  Write a story about Buttermilk!  Remember to use your very best handwriting, and to bring it (and your notebook) in to class on Wednesday!

• Complete the page on long "O" sounds, if you can!
• Parents, you can use this to any extent that your child can handle.

• Be sure to bring a snack and a water bottle!  (Cups tend to spill on the shaky tables.)

Farm Fusion Workshop 1 / Week 1 (Goats)

Work on your All About Me sheet!

We will be showing these off on Wednesday.  For anyone who did not make it to Open House, just print out page 3 from here.

See you soon!
