Farmer Joe and the Music Show to the

sound does each animal make? What
animals did you see?

mommy animals to the baby animals by
coming up front and taping the baby
animal with the mom. As each student
comes up, I will also have them count
the number of animals that are on the
board so far.
The students are going to be making
paper bag cows. They will be gluing the
face and hooves of the cow onto the bag,
but they will also be using one finger and
black paint to make spots on the cow.
