Letter S is for scarecrow:Size sort
From the fantastic resources blog "2 Teaching Mommies" this is part of a whole scarecrow unit available for download here.
Click on the image on their blog post to download all the resources in one zip file. The size sort is one single pdf - the first page is the scarecrow and birds, the second is a sorting mat for "small" "medium" and "big". If yours is a littler tot (B falls into this category for some tasks!) there is a related tot pack to download further down the same post. Great for a farm or autumn theme as well.

Resources by Theme Master List: Farm Theme
In an attempt to organise my own bookmarks and to pick and choose from all the great FREE resources available to download and print I have started listing them in these master lists by type of resource and also by theme. You can access these master lists by using the tabs at the top of the page.
This post is on the theme of farms and will be updated periodically as I add resources to this blog or discover new sources. If you know of any that you think should be included feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy!

Farm themed resources for download
Musings of me has done it again with another gigantic (144 pages) pdf of learning resources this time all about farms. Whilst I love the stuff she makes it is aimed at in between B and A really, and as per usual this size file caused my printer to go into meltdown as well so I am printing off the activities separately a few at a time.
Pages 5-18 contains see,trace,make sheets and we started off with those for A - they are kind of too simple for him really but give him a chance to practise his writing which is something his school and the Educational Psychologist who is assessing him have been worried about. I think it is just that he hates writing and will go to any lengths to avoid it rather than he lacks the muscular development to do it properly but maybe we will have to agree to disagree with the experts on this one.
The pdf includes see, trace,make sheets for :
horse
goose
goat
barn
cow
chick
chicken
cat
farmer
duck
dog
sheep
rooster
pig.
True to form they have cute cartoon-like graphics to make them very appealing
For B I printed out the three-part-cards. He is getting the hang of them providing only a few (4-6) are presented at any one time or he finds them a bit overwhelming; but he is able to do the activity quite easily. I also caught him counting them (although he stopped the second he realised I was listening) - he got all the way to 10 (!) not a big achievement for most 3 yo but B has always thrown any counting activity away with "No Counting!" as his battle cry up till now.
Pages 20-23 inclusive contain the 3-part cards. Again cute or what. The subjects included are the same as for the see,trace,make sheets.

No doubt I will use more of the activities over time. In the meantime to download your own copy of the file go to Michelle's post here.

Little Red Hen
The project for May 2010 over at Unplug Your Kids is "bread". I avoided doing last months project because I could not think of anything creative for "flat" and at first I could only think of the obvious for bread and actually bake some. Then I was looking for some links to go with the story bags I have been trying to put together and I found a link to an online version of "The Little Red Hen". Well that was my lightbulb moment so here are the resources to go with the story.
The story itself is thought to be a folk tale which was originally written in the 19 th century. The hard working red hen finds a grain of wheat and plants, grows, reaps, and mills the wheat and then bakes the flour into bread. Along the way she asks the "who will help me...?" of the lazy animals where she lives all of whom answer "Not I". Today there are many versions of the tale and which version you have dictates the animals involved in the tale but the choral nature of the text is usually common to each version. At the end of the tale the red hen having done all the work keeps all the bread for herself - the moral of the tale,hard work pays off and if you want to share the benefits you have to work with the team.
The story can also be used to teach plant life cycles; sequencing, farm animals, and crops as well as linking into a baking session!
Without further ado here is a list of resources you could use to tie in with this version. This version has a duck, a dog and a cat as well as the hen but obviously if your version has different animals you might need to adapt it slightly.
