Last week in school we had a farm theme. So, we made tractors using different shapes I had cut out. We used this activity to teach us how to say circle, square, triangle, and rectangle in the local language. We sang all 9 verses of The Farmer and the Dell when some friends came over. Then, we studied how to say the names of different farm animals in the local language.
But, the most fun thing we did was make a farm-puzzle-cookie. In the morning for our first school activity, we made sugar cookie dough. Then we rolled it out on to my cookie sheet. After that we created a farm scene with cookie cutters and a knife. Later that night, we had fun icing it. They kids had to tell me how to say tree, fish, bird, cow, horse, and duck in our local language before I let them eat any! That was a pretty strong motivator! They all did great!
Clearly, Brad found the cookie and took a bite before I could take the picture! He said he wanted the fishy to swim away!

What fun your children and you had to have while doing this activity!
I was excited about it while reading and I am considerably older than your children. You are such a great mother, teacher, wife, friend, and servant of Father!
Miss you all!
