We have been learning about farms in First Grade. I read the book Barn Dance
by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault to the students and we saw
the Reading Rainbow video " Barn Dance".
Students did the following barn activity.

Book Description In an old farmhouse, bathed in the light of a full moon, a young boy creeps to his bedroom window and looks outside. Was that a voice he just heard, or the hooting of an owl? There it is again: Come a little closer... Come a little closer... Listen to the night... There's music in the air... Beckoned by the voice, the boy sneaks downstairs, out the door, and walks toward the barn. As he gets closer he hears the sweet sound of a country fiddler and the rhythmic thumping of dancing feet. But who could possibly be having a barn dance in the middle of the night? Amazon books I danced in the barn with the dog and the pig. It was fun!
