🐄🐴🔔 FTG Early Head Start Farm Fun! 🔔🐴🐄

Our classroom is learning all about farm animals this month! This week's lesson plan focuses on cows and horses. 🐮🐎

As part of our hands-on learning activities, the children made their very own cow bells and later took them outside to make music together! 🎶🔔 The kids had so much fun exploring sounds, movement, and creativity while connecting it back to our farm theme.

Learning through play helps bring our lessons to life, and our little farmers had an amazing time! 💛🌾

From rolling in the mud like little pigs to dancing their hearts out in the sprinkling water, Rooms 3 & 4 had an absolutely awesome Friday!

The children embraced every moment of the fun, laughing, splashing, and making unforgettable summer memories with their friends. To top off all the excitement, everyone enjoyed some ice-cold popsicles to cool down after a day full of fun in the sun! 🍦😎

These are the moments childhood is made of—messy, joyful, and full of adventure! 💛☀️
