NEW LIFE THEMES

Our themes for the last few weeks have centered around new life whether that be in the form of animal chicks, insects, butterflies, or the risen Lord. Spring brings an excitement to all of our hearts and a bursting of energy in our spirits. Our classroom indeed is full of enthusiasm for all we have learned and continue to grow. Below is just a small snippet of our fun and laughter we'd like to share.

Mrs. Angela told us the Easter story with Resurrection eggs. Each egg had a symbol inside it of something to remind us of Jesus dying on the cross.

Chocolate pudding rabbits with sprinkles and of course we got to eat some.

We decorated hard boiled eggs with sequins and glitter.

During the week before Easter, we studied the rabbit and learned what he likes to eat, about his big listening ears, and his giant hopping feet.

Plastic eggs provided many opportunities for learning. Here they had to match the capitals and lower case letters.

Using all of our artistic abilities-cutting, gluing, and drawing.

A carrot relay.

Our Easter egg hunt was outdoors this year:)

The treasures from the Easter egg hunt.

The plastic insects can really fly with a little help from the guys waving the parachute.

Hexagon pattern blocks joined together neatly resemble a bee's honeycomb. They're pretty proud of their creation.

Putting our honeycombs together to make a huge one. WOW!!!!!

Busy as a bee!!!!!!!!!

What do you think? Did they like the taste of real honey?

Counting the dots on the ladybugs made the task easy for these guys.

Magnetic puzzles add a new dimension to the traditional ones.

Symmetrical butterflies match on both sides.

Acting out our subtraction problems. Four butterflies were there, three flew away, how many were left? Much more fun than just paper and pencil.

This was one way we learned about the stages of the butterfly. Each bead of our bracelet represented a different stage.

We made good use of all those hard boiled eggs (or least the shells) we didn't eat. We made mosaic butterflies with the colorful shells.
