The Last of Easter!

On Friday, the kids sorted jelly beans:

Fun Easter writing:

"Drive a barbie car! Drop them off at the door step!"

"Get the other Easter bunnies."

On Monday they wrote about their Easter weekend:

"The Easter bunny brought me a DVD player and a movie called Hop and a decorate your dog house."

"I went to my Meme's. I went to my dad's grandma's. I went back to my Meme's."

"My cousin gave a football to me. Tanner is his name. He is my cousin."

"I lost a tooth Easter morning! I went to church. I took pictures. I went to Miss Pat's house to have a Easter hunt."

"The Easter bunny brought me a Sleeping Beauty doll with the three fairy god mothers and he brought me the Alvin and the Chipmunks and my brother got a funny bunny movie."

Continents and Easter

We started our week off discussing North America and South America. We read Arrow to the Sun:

We used our new Follow the Yellow Bick Road chart to retell the story:

Then, the kiddos painted their own Aztec pictures:

The kiddos also learned the fancy word for opposites, antonyms.

We read The Foot Book:

And then did a fun activity (that I found on Pinterest) to go along with the book:

We also read The Big Bunny and the Easter Eggs and discussed antonyms using this book:

The kids wrote about what the Easter Bunny would do if he slept in! Their writing was very creative!

In math this week, we reviewed comparing numbers

I added two Easter centers for this week:

And last, the kids had the opportunity to skype with Mr. Marc from Adventures to fitness! This was very exciting!

Update from Last Week!

Last week, we created a chart about what we would do if we were the Easter Bunny and then the kiddos created a bunny and wrote about it!

"I would give candy to boys and girls."

"I would give my basket to the baby bird."

"I would give the girls and boys a big basket with candy and toys."

I added this Easter egg to our writing center. The students have to write about one of the pictures on the egg.

"Me and my family hide eggs at my Aunt Paige's. We open the eggs."

"I hope the Easter bunny comes to the Easter egg hunt."

The weather was so nice last week we decided to go outside and use sidewalk chalk to do math instead of using our math journals!

The students used shape manuplatives to practice sliding, fliping, and rotating shapes.

I found this on Pinterest! We are going to use this chart to retell stories this week!!

Parents, thank you so much for all of your help at the Easter Egg hunt!!!
