Easter Reading and Writing Stations

This week in reading and writing the kids made words using the letters in Happy Easter, match beginning and ending compound word parts, read Plant Life Cycle in place of our decodable this week, and if they were finished with all of the work in their not finished folder, got to make woven Easter baskets with eggs inside.

Making words using the letters in Happy Easter

Matching the beginning and ending of compound words and recording the words.

Weaving paper to make Easter baskets

Since Friday was a half day, we dyed Easter Eggs and watched Peter Cottontail! We put the dye tablets in the cups first and predicted the color we thought each one would be when I added the vinegar. Then, everyone got their own egg and either dyed it one color or drew on it and then dyed it a color.

After dying the eggs, the kids put stickers on them for decoration.

Then, it was time to eat!

They're kind of like glasses :)

 

Hoppy Easter! :)

Eater Party Day!

Today we had our Easter party at school! We did math stations as usual first thing in the morning, then spent the rest of the day making different things for Easter. After math, the kids colored bunny ears, then we made bunny ear headbands with them. We also painted faces with pink noses and black whiskers first thing in the morning.

Somebunny wanted to be an orc :)

After making bunny ear headbands, the kids either finished coloring eggs and weaving their paper Easter baskets that they had started earlier this week, or got started on theirs. That took us up to lunch and a birthday party that followed.

After lunch and our birthday party, we I [attempted to teach] taught the kids the bunny hop ... and we did it about 8 times. It was exhausting! But a whole lot of fun. :)

After our Easter party, we loaded buses and headed to the nursing home to hunt Easter eggs! Everyone got a pretty good amount of eggs!

Excited to hunt eggs!

My seat buddy and I had to take a picture, too

The day seemed to fly by, but it was fun! Thank you to all the parents who brought or sent food for our party! Have a happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
