Easter Week

We had another fun week at preschool with our new theme Easter.  Since we are getting closer and closer to kindergarten, we are able to do so many more activities in a day!  The kiddos can go to each table, check off their own name on a clipboard and work on the activity either with  a teacher or independently!  It is amazing how much they have grown! I am so proud of each and every smartie in our room!

Working hard at table top centers each morning

writing words on the big magnetic board

matching letters

Putting Easter eggs in order with numbers 10-20 is no problem for these boys! :)

Our sensory table had Easter grass, eggs, pom poms and letters to find and explore.

We can recognize several sight words now and put sentences together to read.

We use our pointer finger to read each word.

We loved the song about bunnies fast asleep....especially the part where they wake up and hop hop hop!

One of our favorite activities this week was passing each friend's egg around the circle and shaking it to guess what was inside.  We were stumped several times!  There were some creative items inside each one!

We started our Queen and King of the day this week. This special friend gets to wear the crown all day, bring in a special item from home to share and gets to be interviewed by their friends.  They also sit in the "royal" chair during snack. 

We learned step by step how to draw bunnies.  It looks like we have some artists on our hands!

This group of girls are working hard to color their new reader for the week, Honey Bunny.

This King of the day brought in his favorite "Boo Boo" to share with us. :)

We enjoyed all the bunnies and candy, but learned that the true meaning of Easter is that Jesus rose from the grave. We made a tomb with a rock that rolls away and wrote "Jesus is risen!"

We love to incorporate yummy treats into math.  Our jelly beans helped us sort, count, graph and discuss most and least this week.

We made little Easter baskets to collect our treats.

Of course we had to get our hand print into a craft...."Some bunny loves you" for sure!!

After the adventure lab today, we walked into the room to discover that the Easter bunny had visited us.  Not only had he made a big mess in our class but he left eggs all over to find.  They were so excited to run around and find the eggs and footprints he had left hopping through our room.

Some of the eggs even had money in them!  It was our lucky day. :)

Thanks for a great week at school friends!  Have a fabulous spring break with your family!  I will see you in a week with our new theme oceans!
