This is a slideshow about farm animals. Each animal picture (cow, pig, sheep, hen, goat, farm dog, horse) on the first slide links to a second slide with a short video clip (approx 2 minutes each) about the animal (from United Streaming). The animal clip teaches the names of male, female, and baby animal and teaches what we use the animal for (ie bacon, sausage, milk, eggs). The movie slide then links back to the home page for ease of navigation. I used it in my Kindergarten class to go along with our HM Theme 8. The students loved it! on Thursday, May 03 2007 at 12:41 PM sandytanner on Saturday, May 05 2007 at 01:07 AM Farm animals, cow, pig, horse, farm, hen, goat
