Cow...

Cows are mostly raised for their meat, milk and coats.  They are herbivores that eat grass, corn and plants. They have four stomachs to help digest all the food.  Cows are social animals and gather together in herds.  We discussed what cows need to survive, such as food, shelter, water and exercise. We painted a cow using a pom pom and clothes pin.  When they were done painting they clipped on the legs (clothes pins).  Each student picked the color of cow they painted.  
We read the book Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin.  The students were encouraged to paste letters on paper to pretend they were typing.  Some chose to spell words, asking how to spell and finding the letters.  
For fine motor we used Q-tips to paint and used stickers to make a square.
 As a group, they sorted fruit and vegetables by color!
