MOID pigs in mud

I adapted the pig lesson for my MOID classes. Students stamped pink pigs and swirls. They finger painted with a mixture of glue, brown paint, and coffee grounds. They added some hay for a little more texture!

MOID milking the cow

 Students viewed a reproduction of Pissaro's " Milking the Cow"

Students identified a cow on my ipad zoo app.      

                                                 The students made a class cow. 

                                                  We worked on goals such as 

                                       drawing a closed circle, tearing paper, counting, etc...

                                               I added white paint to an " udder" ( glove )

                                             Students loved taking turns milking the cow!
