Fun in the Sun Day…..a little late!

Hi everyone,

I was going through my photos and came across a bunch from Fun in the Sun Day the last week of school that I never shared with you! Oops!! Guess the summer just snuck up on me!

So I will post them now for you all, and if those of you who had kiddos that are moving on to Kindergarten do not want to receive these email updates anymore, please just click the unsubscribe button.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer and I can't wait to see some of the kids again in August!

Eric Carle Week

We had so much fun reading books by Eric Carle! We found there are so many that we like, it was hard to choose which ones to read.

We started out with The Grouchy Ladybug, and played lots of ladybug matching games. We also talked about the things that make us "grouchy" and took pictures with grouchy faces! They turned out pretty cute, and everyone loves stopping by to read them in the hall.

We also had a fun "rotation day" with the other teachers. We got to do an activity in each classroom after listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Making a cookie caterpillar with Mrs. McCauley

Making tissue paper butterflies with Mrs. Porter

Stringing bead "caterpillars" with Mrs. Willard, and the caterpillar headbands were made with Mrs. Hall

We also got to play a Brown Bear, Brown Bear memory game, and read the book, as well as Panda Bear, Panda Bear. Other books we listened to were A House for Hermit Crab, Do You Want to Be My Friend, and Head to Toe, while acting out the motions of each animal!

Easter Fun

As we approached our spring break, we had some fun with Easter activities!

Ms. Jen brought us some baby chicks to look at! We had a lot of fun seeing them and listening to them "cheep, cheep." One even tried to fly a little, which made everybody laugh!

This week we were learning about the letter Z, so we painted "zigzag" lines on Easter eggs to decorate them. Using q-tips to paint helped with fine motor practice.

We also used jelly beans to practice counting out. The jars were labeled with a number, and we had to count the jellybeans to match the numeral.

We also got to do an Easter egg hunt outside. Each child was assigned a color of egg to search for and they collected eggs of that color in their bags.Then we brought them inside to count and practice comparing numbers.
