E is for Easter

Today the children enjoyed two great read alouds The Night Before Easter and There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Chick.  The children also went on a Easter Hunt to look for the Easter Baskets that the Easter Bunny hid on them.  During centers today the children visited two centers.  At one they followed a rebus recipe to make bunny bait.  At another center they made the book Counting Colorful Eggs. During snack we had an Easter celebration.  I would like to thank everyone who donated items to make our celebration special!!

Well I won't see your children until a week from now, so I have included some great Easter links with projects and games.  The fist link http://www.education.com/activity/preschool/easter/ has wonderful art project ideas that can be made with items that you have around the house.  The second link http://www.primarygames.com/holidays/easter/games.php has online games that include an Egg Hunt, Eggbert's Tic Tac Toe, Easter Egg Designer, and Bunnies Jigsaw Puzzles.  At the last link you will find a selection of printable Easter coloring pages.  http://www.nickjr.com/spring-holidays/easter/ I have noticed during playtime that a large amount of children are visiting our writing center.  They truly enjoy having a conversation with each other while coloring their masterpieces.  I hope you enjoy the precious moments with your children during our break.  I know I will enjoy some quality time with my daughter!
