Old MacHebert's Farm

Farm Animals & Their Products

by: Kathy Hebert-Kindergarten Teacher

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live on a farm? Do you know what animals live on farms? What does Old MacHebert use horses for? Where do cheese, eggs, bacon and wool come from?

 

Task:

1. A delivery man has a truckload of animals he needs to deliver. One of his stops is Old MacHebert's Farm. We must decide which animals belong on the farm.

2. Old MacHebert has his farm animals now, and needs to know how they will be useful to him.

 

Process:

1. Click on the animal you think is a farm animal. There will be more than one. If you click on an animal and get a sad face, it is not a farm animal. When you click on a farm animal you will see a happy face which means you are right.

 

2. Click on the moving animal that you have learned is a farm animal. This will take you to a web site where you will learn what each farm animal gives us.

 

3. *Create your own shoebox farm using art materials from the classroom. (*FOR FUN ONLY)

Conclusion:

We will complete the "What I have learned" section of the KWL chart together. We will graph our favorite farm animal. As a celebration we will have a "Farm Feast" Breakfast. We will cook scrambled eggs and sausage. We will also make homemade bread and shake cream into butter. Now you will be able to tell your family and friends where eggs, sausage and butter come from!
