Happy Easter

Just a Reminder: There will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday April 5, 2012! Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

Since there is no school on Thursday, we celebrated Easter today. It was a fun filled day. We did miss a few students, and hope they had a wonderful day. We did however have an extra student today, Aidan, Bennett’s brother. We are so happy you could join us today!

We started the day with some painting, so we had some drying time. What where we painting? Easter Baskets!

Then while they were drying we said “I can count to 20” as we are starting our number review portion of our curriculum. I can’t believe there are only 2 more months of preschool! Crazy…

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..and next is 11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20.. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..and next is 11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20

can count to the number 20, I can count to the number 20. Learning to count is fun and easy. Won’t you sing with me..

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..and next is 11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20

It is a cute little song. The kids were really starting to learn it. We will be singing this one again as we continue our number review! I want each kiddo to be able to count to twenty without hesitation. That is where they expect them to count going into Kindergarten! So I have made that my goal. 

Then after some of our regular morning routine we colored our Easter eggs.

After they were colored and cut out, we made these…

Look how adorable they turned out…

       

You just can’t celelbrate Easter without having an Easter Egg hunt! I was getting short on time, so instead of hiding them outside like I had planned, we hid them in the living room. There aren’t very many hiding spots… so after hiding some of the 80+ eggs, I finally just tossed them on the floor.

The kids didn’t seem to care. They were just happy to be running around, gathering eggs!!!

      

After the egg hunts {yes hunt’s} were over, it was time to read a quick book before the kids headed home. I got each of them this cute little book for Easter…

So we read it. Then it was time to end the day!

It was a great day.

Again, there is no school on Thursday.

I hope you all have such an amazing Easter weekend!!!
