Easter and Spring

We just finished the first of two weeks focused on Easter and spring. So far we have made colorful eggs, a "duck-bunny", bunny paper bags, and turned the pre-k students into Easter bunnies. We also learned about the letter Ee and reviewed the number 9. ☺ We will continue next week with a fun Easter movie, a chick windsock, and learning about the letter Bb and reviewing the number 10.

We had some special visitors from the Medford public library this week as well. The students heard a story about all the types of traps that might be set to try to catch the Easter bunny, as well as a smelly assistant (a skunk) who was very excited about Easter. 

We are into the final quarter of the school year-less than 40 more school days to go! The students had fun decorating hermit crab shells to go along with the story "A House for a Hermit Crab". This story is about growing and finding new friends throughout a year and preparing for new adventures.
