Monday:
 |
| I just love "Pete the Cat" books. |
 |
| Shaving cream, paint, and glue to decorate eggs of our own...Just like Pete the Cat did... |
 |
| The kiddos swirled the ingredients together, |
 |
| We then placed their egg in the mixture... |
 |
| And perfection! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/84794405458831330/ |
 |
| As I introduced the letter "E" we made them with our bodies! Great team work! You can even have them attempt this individually with the letters of the alphabet! |
 |
| This ended up being kind of messy but fun. I cut potatoes in half and make Easter egg patterns on them (using a knife to cut them out) the kiddos then painted them.. |
 |
| And stamped them in their papers! Just in case you were wondering "What in the world is this!?" http://www.woohome.com/diy-2/24-cute-and-easy-easter-crafts-kids-can-make |
 |
| Our letter E,e 4 box sheet! |
 |
| They have gotten to be so independent with this activity. |
 |
| I found this cool website that has made all of the letters into racetracks. The kiddos had so much fun "zooming" cars around...and this is educational and fun! |
 |
| Here is the link in case you would want to print the cards. They also have numbers and shapes! http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/RacecarABCcards.htm |
 |
| We then used googly eyes to trace the capitol and lowercase Ee...A great fine motor skill too! http://www.abcand123learning.com/search/label/Letter%20E |
 |
| This sweet girl is making her name by rolling out play-doh |
 |
| Math...we counted the pictures aloud and then had to find the number that matched it! |
 |
| Next we rolled a cube that had spring pictures on it and graphed it... |
 |
| We took turns coloring the boxes...It was neat to see those light bulbs go off then they finally realized that the end product was how many times we rolled that picture. We discussed math words like: the more, same, least http://ironicadventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/spring_fling_preschool_pack_iA-2013.pdf |
 |
| Today we focused on the true meaning of this holiday. |
 |
| We then made crosses and recited, "Jesus is Alive!" Their paintings weren't dry at the end of the day...so you can add that to it! |
 |
| I had used masking tape to make the cross and the kiddos filled up their paintings with all of the colors they wanted! |

 |
| Today with our bunny poem each child to to come up and locate a letter e. This is a great way at home to check their knowledge of letters...as you read ask them to find certain letters (you can even do this in the car as you drive while they look out the window). The understanding that letters make words is an important step to learning to read. |
 |
| Stink...I forgot to take a picture of their final products...but these were super cute...and you know me and my LOVE for fine motor skill work! |
 |
| Library time! Reading books is one of my biggest passions! It makes my heart glow to see how much these kiddos LOVE to read too! |
 |
| What comes next...Patterns is something we will touch more on before the end of the year. This was challenging for them. At home you can do simple AB or ABC patterns. |
 |
| Great scissor holding! |
 |
| A few more books we read! |
