Easter

EASTER TIME IS THE TIME FOR EGGS
AND THE TIME FOR EGGS IS EASTER TIME!

Easter Egg Hunt!!









New Dramatic Play Center
Playhouse and Farm!


Garden Week!

This week we learned about gardens, the parts of a plant, and what it takes for plants to grow!

We started off with a NEW DRAMATIC PLAY CENTER!!! THE FLOWER SHOP!!



We labeled the parts of a plant:

We planted our own plants!
We observed how a plant drinks water from the root and watched how the water travels up paper towels similar to the plant..... 
Plus we did some color mixing too! 
 We made observations as the water traveled...

 We learned that for a plant to grow, it needs:
Seed
Soil
Water
and
Air 
We checked our planted seeds each day before we got to take them home....

We read TOPS and BOTTOMS and made our own Tops and Bottoms Garden:

 To celebrate, we also made SOCK CREATURES..... 
 Here they are all ready to take home and take care of:

Hair starting to grow: 

On Friday, we ATE parts of plants! 
Say whaaaaat?
Yes... we ate 
SEEDS
ROOTS
STEMS
LEAVES

FLOWERS and FRUIT!

Then we graphed our favorite parts of the plant to eat:






Garden week is such a fun fun week!!

Shared Reading:

We discovered the parts of a clock and drew our own clock.
We wrote our numbers all the way to 12 and learned about the hour hand.

 We finally finished our illustrations in our nursery rhyme book!
Now it's time to sit down and read them!!


 This was a fun activity to act out the nursery rhyme. We drew in the numbers of the clock and added an hour hand. When the clock strikes one, we make our mouse run down with the pull string from the back! 

Colors:
"Little Mouse, Little Mouse
Which color is your house?"
--Finding the mouse--
