Language through Literacy

Ever since we got our chickens in April, Greyson has been obsessing over anything farm-related.  His favorite animal (of course) is the chicken, but he's really become interested in other farm animals as well.  One of his favorite books right now has helped him identify the animals, and most recently, be able to say their names.  A Farmer's Life for Me is also a singalong, and the tune is so catchy, you can't help but sing right along with it.  I'm planning a farm Tot School theme, so stay tuned!
