ANIMAL CRACKERS Excerpt from the “Animal Crackers” welcome letter… Throughout the week, your child will be engaged in many hands-on experiences as they are exposed to a variety of domesticated animals. We will gain knowledge and first hand experience from the owners and caretakers of the animals that come to visit. Then we will apply the knowledge gained as we create crafts, read literature, and complete our journals. At the beginning of the week, you will receive an official schedule of the animals that will visit (visits to include: cat, dog, rabbit, calf, chicken, goat, sheep, llama/alpaca, horse, pig) On Thursday August 14th, we will visit Broom Bloom’s Dairy Farm at 6:00pm to meet with the Dallam family, learn about their dairy facility, and have the opportunity to purchase and enjoy some delicious ice cream. This will be a voluntary experience and is open to the children in the program along with friends and family.------------------------------------------------------------------------
This summer the Animal Crackers program will be devoted to the study of different domestic animals. Children will have the opportunity to experience animals such as sheep, cows, goats, pigs, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats and turkeys. They will learn about care and feeding while hearing stories about those animals. Songs, arts and crafts projects, and hands-on learning will extend their understanding of the animals. Children will learn about the importance of domestic animals in the lives of their family and in families throughout the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The teacher – Hannah Amoss earned her BS in Elementary Education and graduated with honors from York College of Pennsylvania.
