Getting ready to visit the Dairy Farm and Cows!!!

This Friday we will be taking a field trip to Middleton Farms- a real dairy farm!!!  My babies are SO excited! It's one of my favorite field trips! The students get see a cow being milked, bottle feed a baby calf, and learn how milk goes from the cow to their lunchroom!  In honor of our field trip, we will spend the week talking about cows and dairy farms!

To prepare, I created a mini-thematic unit on cows! The unit has 2 cow crafts, a poem for a pocket chart, a reader, math counting mats and some great graphic organizers!!! There is even a recipe for ice cream in a Ziploc bag! Yummmmm!

 

A final product of the cow crafts! How cute are these?!!

 

 

I'm so excited to do these fun activities with my students this week!!!

What are some of your favorite field trips?
