Old MacDonald had a farm… until Mrs. MacDonald left the gate open!

In-Person In-School Field Trip Description:

Now Old MacDonald’s farm is a mixed up mess and Mrs. MacDonald needs help to get the farm back in order. Students count, sort and pattern everything from blue cows and green chickens to flowers and pitch forks. Songs, movement, stories and an engaging poster activity all come together to show students that math helps everything make sense!

Video Conference Program Description:

One, two, three, come along and count with me! Are you ready to hop aboard Tractor Ted and join Farmer Gilbert on the Number Farm? In the Number Farm Video Conference Program, Farmer Gilbert will guide students through many fun-filled number concept activities including: counting to 10, number order, sorting and patterning. Students will help Farmer Gilbert care for the animals on the Number Farm, while practicing the concepts taught in their very own Number Farm magnetic book.

“It was a complete review of the Math portion of the curriculum. The students loved that it was hands-on. The Presenter really made the presentation so interesting and exciting. She is excellent with the students and made the experience a memorable one.”
