This week in art, we did a lot of fun spring projects. The class really enjoyed talking about what they love about Spring. We made really colorful coffee filter spring flowers, a pretty cherry blossom tree (Molly, Gracie, Kennedy and Sikha loved decorating their cherry blossom trees), and egg carton tulips. For Easter we made a bunny puppet and egg shakers decorated with tissue paper. The class loved making music with their egg shakers. Finally, we dyed real Easter eggs for a special surprise for the Easter bunny! The class also made Easter bags for our spring party, Easter egg hunt.
In Math we sequenced a number puzzle from 11-20. The class has gotten so good at recognizing the larger number. We also practiced counting with jellybeans. We counted all the different colors of jellybeans, made patterns and completed a jellybean skill sheet. We also made a pattern out of spring flowers. It is so wonderful to celebrate Spring.
In writing we practiced writing the letters of the week Kk and Yy. We did Y and K skill sheets and talked about all the words that start with the letters of the week. The class had a hard time thinking of Y words the first day, but then the second day they had tons of words to say and had fun saying the silly words like, yum, yummy, yoke, yuck and yucky!
In Music and Movement we went on an Easter egg hunt while listening to Easter music. We also pretended to be Easter bunnies and played "I can hop higher then the Easter bunny!" We also played a game where we create a spider web by tossing a yarn ball around to our friends for backyard bug week.
In Reading we read, Bunny Trouble, How Leo learned to be King, The Easter bunny is Missing, Chrysanthemum, and Peter Rabbit. The class loved hearing about the Easter bunny books. They are so excited for Easter!
We had a little class Spring party. We dyed Easter eggs, went on an Easter Egg hunt, and ate special Easter cookies. We had a great party and week!!!!
