| Mission Project
Today you will pretend that you are all grown up and that you have your
own farm. What kind of animals do you want to live on your farm? Let's
look at the different types of animals and what they do! After we look
at the different animals that live on the farm, you will pick two that
you want to live on your farm. We will write about these animals in our
journals and then draw a picture of them. We will put our journal pages
in the hall for all of your friends to see what you have on your farm!
