Easter Activities

Today we devoted our day to everything Easter!! We started the morning by reading the book Rechenka’s Eggs by Patricia Polacco. Based off the story, the students did a writer’s workshop writing about what they would leave in an egg for someone to find that would make them feel special.  Then we read Jan Brett’s The Easter Egg and designed and painted an Easter egg of our own!

Here we are designing it with crayons…

And now our paints….

In the afternoon we read The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Then we colored our own rabbits and added carrots. We made our picture into a math problem by counting the carrots we put onto each side of our rabbit and adding them all together!

3 + 3 = 6

And finally, we had an Easter egg hunt in our classroom! The students were able to find two eggs and take them back to their seat and start sorting them by color. After they sorted we graphed how many we had and made all sorts of patterns! After all their hard work they finally got to eat them Smile
