Friday Update April 2

Happy Easter from the cutest bunnies!  Enjoy the long weekend!

It was great to have the cuties back after a week of rest!  We talked about spring and Easter, and had lots of fun. We also finished off our big unit on fairy tales.  The kiddos have had tons of fun reenacting the stories in our dramatic play area and drawing them.

This week some of our activities included…

*learned the letter, sound and hand motion for Jj. 

*added jewels to our feely letter Jj.

*drew pictures of words that start with Jj in our alphabet journals, and cut out Jj words.

*learned the song John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt and added it to our Poems and Songs folders.

*made 4 flavors of jiggly Jello and mixed them in our bowls like rainbows and ate the jello!

*practiced identifying and counting numbers through 20 while playing Jellybean Bingo.

*read several versions of Jack and the Beanstalk.

*reviewed ordinal numbers and learned the steps to draw a bunny.

*made Jack climbing a curvy beanstalk to practice our cutting skills.

*read a lot of different Easter stories—my favorite is called Rechenka’s Eggs, a Ukrainian Easter story and I showed the cuties the Ukrainian eggs my grandma made—they are beautiful!

*made bunny ears and a bunny basket for our Easter hunt.

*read the book Duck Rabbit and made a duck rabbit J

*dyed Easter eggs.

*searched for chocolate eggs!
