E is for Eater and Eggs

Today's read aloud was titled Clifford's Happy Easter.  All of our centers today related to Easter and eggs.  Each child visited two centers today.  The two that they didn't do they will do tomorrow.  At Miss Sue's center the children cut out the letter "E" and an Easter basket.  They glued them onto a piece of construction paper.  They then decorated their Easter basket with egg stickers.  At Mrs. Severson's center the children took a plastic Easter egg and cracked it open.  They identified the object that was inside of it.  They then listened for the letter that made its beginning sound.  Lastly, they dotted the letter on their recording sheet.  At an independent center the children cut out and colored an Easter egg.  They then painted it with chocolate syrup.  This technique is called a crayon resist.  At my center the children made a book titled Counting Colored Eggs.  This book is based on the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?  Lastly, as a large group we made bunny Easter baskets.  It was a very busy day, but it was also a fun day!!
