Summarizing Our Short Week of Easter Activities

 

 

 

 This was a short week, as Good Friday is a school holiday. Throughout the week we did a variety of activities to celebrate Easter.

* Taking an egg pattern and old wallpaper books, the children got to cut and paste pieces of wallpaper to create egg mosaics.

* Using a rabbit pattern another teacher gave me (she used it on paper plates), the students colored, cut, then pasted it onto a paper bag to create puppets. The back view shows how I let them glue cotton balls on the tail.

* Of course, we also graphed our jelly beans.

* And Thursday culminated with our egg hunt.

Another Set of Texas Activities

Remember that flag from my post of March 5th? I put that flag on tagboard, then each child had to tear red, white, and blue strips into "finger tip size pieces" and glue them to the template. This "mosaic" idea has always been among the best ideas for strengthening fine motor skills. To finish, we wrote the state pledge on the back.

Additional activities included:
* playing Texas bingo
* watching a short video about the Battle of the Alamo
* learning to dance the Cotton-Eyed Joe and Chicken Dance
