The tall ships are coming! The timing was perfect to read boat books and sing these songs: Row, Row, Row Your Boat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7otAJa3jui8 I'm on a Boat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGf1ITv8qM8 If your get a chance top take in the festival see if your child can tell you the parts of the boat. We talked about the mast, the bow, the stern, and the hull.

We have been having sooo much fun learning even more about farms (and reading, writing, and counting farm things) since our field trip Monday. Here is a link to the cow song got us ready to spell "cow" and other "ow" words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3_7UikPpcg We discovered that if we know how to spell cow we can also spell how, now, bow, chow, and plow. These smart kindergarten children also noticed that "ow" chunk is in th word "down" - which helps us read and write town, brown, clown, crown and gown! Wow! Want to draw a cow? Here is a link to a how to draw page on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SXlyuOE0JyQ#!
