Happy Easter!

We had an Easter/Spring Theme this week. On Monday, we dyed hard-boiled eggs. We had to write on one with a crayon to see how the wax resisted the dye. On the other we had to dye the egg in one color then dip half of it in another color to see what color the double-dipped side changed to.



Tuesday we made cute little chicks hatching from eggs. We got to use the bingo daubers again!!! This project features our handprints too, since we know things like this are always a parent favorite :)



Wednesday we worked really hard on our cutting skills when we cut out all the oval to make a bunny rabbit. Then we had to using delicate, pinching fingers to pull and stretch cottoballs to put fur on our bunnies. It was hard work!

Basket weaving was on Thursday and was another challenging project. It takes a lot of patience to weave!


We hope you have a wonderful Easter and look forward to hearing all about the weekend when we return on Monday!

Don't forget that next Tuesday, April 26th is our picture day. If you want a spring picture taken of your child, please be sure to return the pose selection form that was in the red folder last week. All children will have a graduation portrait taken, but you are not obligated to purchase any (the kids will all be dressed in caps and gowns for the group photo, so we take individual photos while we are at it).


Next, Wednesday is our trip to Edgerton Floral &  Garden Center. We do have room for adult chaperones. You may join us on the bus or meet us there. Due to the narrow passageways in the greenhouse, along with the large number of children going through, please do not plan on bringing small children and/or strollers that may prevent us from moving quickly through the center and hearing all the gardening information they share with us. Thanks!
