We learned a bit about what bunnies do all day (inspired by a book we read), and read and re-read Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter multiple times!
The kids went on two Easter egg hunts; the first was to find eggs that contained letters that they then had to write on the board, and the second was to hunt for eggs they then had to sort, count, and write the number next to the correct colour word.
We worked on the letter R by doing a letter R puzzle, singing, and making actions to Row Row Row Your Boat. This ended up taking us into learning about different types of boats you can row with an oar or paddle and how to row them in a way to go straight. We had bum-scooting rowboat races on the wood floor and some of us couldn’t stop giggling when pretending to only row on one side of the boat, therefore going in circles.
We reviewed “at” words with rotating plastic Easter eggs which were then written on the board in the sentence they belonged to. After each team read their sentence, the whole group acted out that particular “at” word.
The kids also “planted” capital letter carrots into lowercase letter dirt and painted tape resist paper Easter eggs.
We started reading Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren in the last couple of weeks and are finding Pippi Longstocking to be such a silly girl! We cannot wait to see what happens next!
