For the past week and a half, we've been doing a farm unit (part of our larger animal unit). One of the super-fun new activities we tried was a K3 Farmer's Market, and it was a huge hit! We set up a table full of produce -- some real and some play -- and placed a price tag at each item. Students were allowed to shop one at a time, each one choosing at least one item. To purchase their items, they had to count out the correct number of pennies that were shown on the price tag(s). Then Farmer Connie bagged up the items and sent them on their way!
Another satisfied customer!
We also let the kids dress up as farmers and have a picture taken in front of our barn.
For some of our students, the opportunity to delve into a real veggie was just too much. This happy corn-eater didn't even mind that it was raw!
K3 is so much fun ... even if we are pretty silly at times!
