Howell Farm
We had a fantastic trip to the farm on Friday. We shelled and ground corn for animal feed. We visited the sheep and petted a baby lamb. We watched the pigs play and tried on the oxen's yoke. We saw the workhorses pulling the plow and visited with one up close. We saw some almost grown chicks and petted the mommy hen. What a great day!
Math News
We are finishing up teen numbers and will move onto studying numbers and number patterns to 100. Our focus in our teen numbers chapter has been learning how make and break teens into tens and ones. We will continue to use 10 to help learn about numbers to 100.
