Come on, let's go.
Come sing, dance and everyone now.

Hello, friends.
Hi, friends.
We made it to the farm.
Let's go find some animals.
Come on.
Wow.
Look at this, friends.
Wagons, colored wagons.
Wagons are great at the farm because farmers
can put plants in them, crops in them,
and maybe even carry some animals and pull them along.
Up the hill we go.
And stop.
Oh, look at all the wagons.
Let's count the wagons.
Let's start over here.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Colorful wagons.
This is a greenhouse.
And a greenhouse is a place where you grow plants.
And look, plants need water in order to grow.
They also need sunlight and air.
But if you look closely, you'll see the water watering
the plants all at the farm.
Let's see how tall Miss Monica is.
Looks like about 5'4 or 5'5, 5 feet, 4 inches.
I'm going to say 5 feet, 5 inches.
It's a tractor.
Can you say tractor?
This is a large vehicle that's used on the farm.
Farmers can drive around the farm with this.
They can even pull different things with their tractor.
Let's sit on the tractor.
Hi, friends.
We're at the farm.
We're on the tractor and we're at the farm.
Let's go find some animals.
Here we go.
A farm is a large area of land where we can
grow plants and raise animals.
Farmers are the ones who take care of those plants
and make sure they grow into yummy fruits and vegetables
that we can eat.
And the animals can even help us too.
They can provide things like milk and eggs
and even wool to make clothing.
Farms are very important to our society and communities.
Welcome to the farm.
I see ducks.
What sound does the duck make?
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
Ducks.
Let's count the ducks.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Six little ducks at the duck pond.
We're in a barn, a real barn on a farm.
Different animals live inside of barns, like over there.
There are turkeys in this barn, all the way inside.
They're two big turkeys.
Oh, look, he's standing up.
See if you can see him.
Hello.
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Oh, and here comes a duck.
Gobble, gobble.
Bye, Mr. Turkey friend.
It looks like, whoa, it's a sunny day today.
It's a sunny day and a beautiful day to be at the farm.
Wow, what animal do you see?
It's a cow.
Wow, this is a big cow.
Oh, Mr. Cow, big he is.
What color is the cow?
Black and white.
Whoa.
Well, the cow is really big.
It's a big animal.
And he's eating.
Looks like he's eating some hay, some grass.
He's enjoying his afternoon lunch.
What sound does the cow make?
Moo.
Sound.
Moo.
Make that sound with me.
Moo.
Bye, cow.
See you soon.
Look, there's a sign.
Let's read it.
It says, do not feed or pet.
These are rules at the farm.
So that means the animals we see and hear,
we can't feed or pet them.
But we can say hi to them and we can see them with our eyes.
Let's go see what animal it is.
Come on.
Come on, friends.
Look, I see a horse.
I see a horse.
What sound does the horse make?
Hi.
What sound does the horse make?
Neigh.
Hello, all these horses.
Let's look at this one.
What color is the horse?
Brown.
Oh, and it has little specks of white.
And look at the hair on top of the horse.
It's black.
And look at his tail.
It's black.
Let's look at the other horse.
What color is this horse?
Oh, it's brown.
But if you look at its hair on top,
it looks like it's reddish brown.
It reminds me of a little red and a little brown
mixed together.
Wow.
And come closer, friends.
Look at this horse's tail.
It looks, again, it looks like a red tail.
Look.
Do you hear that?
That was the sound of a horse.
Looks like he's hungry.
They must be eating their lunch.
Let's go find some more animals.
Bye, horse friends.
I found a new friend.
Hello, Mrs. Horse.
Hi.
Smile for the camera.
Bye.
The letter of the day is F. Can you say F?
Every letter makes a sound.
And F says F. Can you make that sound?
Fruit.
Farm.
We're on the farm.
Farm starts with the letter F. You
can hear that sound in the beginning.
Farm.
That's right.
Now let's find some more animals on the farm.
Are you ready?
Yay.
Come on.
Let's go.
I see another animal.
Look.
They're ponies.
Hi, my pony friends.
Hello, ponies.
Let's follow them.
Come on.
Where are we going?
Come on.
We're on the donkey.
We're going to the farm.
We're at the farm with the donkey.
Wow.
What a great way to feed them.
It's like a little tunnel for pigs.
Feeding funnel.
Here it comes.
Good job.
A little more.
Here it comes.
I see another pig.
He's coming.
What color is this pig?
White and black.
He's hungry, too.
We have to feed him through the funnel.
Here it comes, little one.
Yum.
Here's some more.
I see a duck.
I think the ducks are hungry.
Let's feed some food to the ducks.
I'm going to toss it in so we can make sure all of the ducks
get some food.
Ready?
1, 2, 3.
There they go.
Good job.
They eat that quick.
Quack, quack, quack.
Hi.
Quack, quack, quack.
I see chickens.
Did you know that chickens lay eggs?
The same eggs that we can purchase right
in our grocery stores or supermarkets
and we use for breakfast and different things.
Chickens lay eggs.
This is a chicken coop.
Hi.
Lots of chickens live here.
Moo, there a moo, and quack, there.
Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere oink, there.
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere oink, oink.
Oh, there a baa, there.
Here a baa, there a baa, everywhere oof, here,
and a oof, oof, there.
Here a oof, there a oof, everywhere oof, oof.
Bye-bye, little friend.
Hello.
Bye, little friend.
What a beautiful day at the farm.
I hope you had fun today.
Now it's time to head back to our classroom
and go play a game with Duck Duck.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Woo.
Oh, so many animals we saw on the farm.
Let's keep going.
Oh, did you hear that?
Listen.
Is that the doorbell?
Who is it?
Hello, Duck Duck.
We're happy you're here today.
Hi, friends.
Oh, we're so happy you came today, Duck Duck.
Guess what we learned.
What did you learn?
We learned about letter F. Wow.
Yes, it was very exciting.
We learned about letter F and the sound it makes.
And that letter F is the first letter in the word farm.
Farm?
Yes.
Do you know that animals live on the farm?
Yes, yes, yes.
They do.
All kinds of animals.
What kinds of animals live on the farm, friends?
Do you remember some of them?
Oh, yes.
The cow.
Cow says, murr.
That's right.
Cow.
The horse.
Oh, I think the horse says, meh.
It does.
Oh, even ducks live on the farm.
Oh, yes.
Some of my family.
Well, today we have a very special activity.
Will you help us?
Yes.
OK.
We are going to play the animal sound game.
Yes, it's very, very exciting.
I'm going to play an animal sound.
Everyone, you have to listen.
Duck, duck, you have to listen too.
Friends, use your listening ears.
We have to listen with our ears.
OK?
Yes.
And once you hear the sound, you can guess
what animal makes that sound.
Will you help me play?
Yes, yes, yes.
All right.
Friends, are you ready to play?
Yay!
Great.
When you hear the sound, I want you to say the animal
as quickly as you can.
Just shout it out as quickly as you can.
OK.
Let's listen to the first sound.
Woof, woof, woof, woof.
Listen again.
Listen.
Woof, woof, woof, woof.
Oh, that's not friends.
Sounds like what?
Dog.
Friends, did you say dog?
All right.
If you said dog, you're correct.
You're correct too, duck, duck.
Good listening.
OK.
Let's listen to the next animal.
Here we go.
Listen.
Listen again.
What do you think, friends?
Let's listen to the next one.
But friends, if you said duck, you're correct.
OK.

Let's keep going.
Listen.
Listen again.
What do you think, friends?
What do you think, duck, duck?
I think sheep, sheep, sheep.
Oh, yes.
That's the sound of a sheep.
If you said sheep, you're correct.
Let's do one more animal sound.
OK.
Let's listen.
Listen again.
What animal makes that sound?
Oh, what do you think, duck, duck?
I think it's a horse.
Yes.
It's a horse.
Friends, if you said horse, you're correct.
Yay.
There's another sound.
There's another animal sound.
What was that?
Duck, duck, friends.
What was that?
Oh, I think it's a pig, pig, pig.
It's a pig.
Yes, you're correct.
That was the sound of pigs.
Friends, did you say pig?
If you said pig, you're correct.
Oh, my friends and duck, duck, thank
you for playing the animal sound game with me.
That was so much fun.
Duck, duck, I know it's almost time for you to say goodbye.
But before you leave, let's make sure we say bye-bye to duck,
duck.
Let's sing goodbye.
Bye-bye, duck, duck.
We're happy you came today.
Thank you, friends.
Bye, duck, duck.
I love when duck, duck comes to class.
That was so much fun listening to animal sounds.
You did great.
