Since the New Year we have been studying farm animals in third grade. We have drawn animal pictures, read Barnyard Boogie a ton of times, and sang Old McDonald until we were hoarse. For our final big project we made a barnyard complete with barn, corral, lake, and garden. The kids really got into it (not a lot of chances here to build things with trash) and watching Shaun the Sheep was the cherry on the top.

"Man these are easy to make" said God.

The red thing looks like a mutant ant to me, but I think it is supposed to be a goat.

Taking a well deserved movie break.
