Talking Points
- Animals: "On a farm, we can see animals like cows, chickens, and pigs. They help farmers by providing us with milk, eggs, and meat."
- Crops: "Farms grow crops like corn, wheat, and vegetables. These crops are important for us to eat and stay healthy."
- Farming: "Farmers work hard to take care of the animals and plants on the farm. They plow the fields, plant seeds, and harvest crops."
- Seasons: "Farms experience different seasons like spring, summer, fall, and winter. Each season brings different activities on the farm."
- Harvest: "During the harvest season, farmers gather the crops from the fields. It's a busy time on the farm with lots of fruits and vegetables to collect."
- Community: "Farms are part of a community where people work together to grow food. It's important to appreciate the hard work of farmers and support local farms."
