Upcoming:
The Cows Are Going to Paris. Tuesday, May 13. "Bonjour! Bonjour!" The cows have grown tired of the French countryside and decide to board a train for Paris. They dress up royally to tour the city sites but are happy when they return to their tranquil life in the country. We'll learn a few French words, enjoy a treat franą§ais, and roll hoops like the les vaches (cows) in Paris!
When Pigasso Met Mootisse. Tuesday, May 20. See the farm as a colorful painting, after reading this wonderful book about a painterly pig and an artsy cow who create an artistic masterpiece and a close friendship. We'll talk about what we see in the pictures; make our own "moosterpiece," and share a creative snack with friends.
Weaving the Rainbow. Tuesday, May 27. You and I might see white wool on the sheep, but the weaver sees rainbow sheep. Enjoy this beautifully illustrated journey through the seasons to the spring shearing, then visit our Southdown sheep and lambs. Discover how wool is carded, spun, dyed, and woven and weave your own creation to take home.
