There was much excitement to be had the week leading up to Easter. The kids did so many Easter egg hunt activities in preparation. They told me that they were really good egg hunters now, so they can find even the well-hidden eggs when the Easter Bunny came. The kids hunted coloured eggs to then sort, group, count, compare and do some addition, and they hunted eggs that contained letters and numbers to then identify and write on the board.
The kids made Easter sticker patterns using colour and/or shape in ABAB, AAB, ABC and AABB ways. They also played a roll the dice and trace game where they had to roll the dice and read the number to figure out which letter or line they had to trace.
Did you know that you can be a bunny and eat while you paint? That’s what the kids did! They were given a carrot, paint and paper. They ended up with some cute little paintings and half eaten carrots. Too funny! The kids also used cardboard tubes to paint a variety of pictures with ie; bunnies, eggs, flowers, abstract.
Our letters this week were A and K. The kids did letter hunt and puzzle activities. The big kids, with the help of the little kids, started their work on the “op” word family. We all had a great time doing the actions to many “op” words, and also making stories with them because we really enjoy doing this!
