Once upon a time there was a sanctuary. It was empty almost every day of the week. It liked to hear the children playing downstairs and liked the times that they peeked in the door. Then one day the teachers and all the children came into the sanctuary! They were smiling and sometimes ran a little. They were looking on the windowsills, the sand tray and every pew. What were they doing?
Read on to learn more about the sanctuary visit, using our fingers as legs, cracker work, going under the tables and showing before Show and Tell.
What did you find in the sanctuary?
Easter eggs and candy!
Everyone found one Easter egg under a kleenex box, one package of Smarties in the candle tray and one package of Smarties on the windowsills. Then they went in our little green grass pockets while we read Easter stories about a lost bunny and Clifford’s Easter egg work.
Happy Easter, everyone!
How did you make your paper bunny walk or jump?
By putting fingers through the holes! These are the perfect addition to our poem about the bunny who gets scared of a noise so they jump in a hole!
We played with these after our Circle Time puppet show about The Runaway Bunny. There was nothing that baby bunny could do to have that sweet mama bunny stop loving him. We walked on our chairs when it wasn’t Circle Time and sat in the chairs when it was!
What can you do if you are hungry?
Get a cracker to eat and/or put in your School Box.
We keep a container of crackers on the Quiet Shelf (with other sensory toys, feelings cards, books, etc) and today that container was empty. Good thing we’ve got helpers!
Our snack time today included more crackers and fruit snacks. But instead of eating at our table like usual, children could pick anywhere in the classroom to eat. No matter where they chose, they were under something!
Where did you go to do your journal work?
Under the big table!
It was pretty impressive to watch so many bodies navigate a very crowded space. I never heard any complaints!
Are you allowed to show your Show and Tell before Show and Tell?
Yes. Often it is so exciting that children show or tell us about their Show and Tell item when they arrive. This also allows other children to get a sneak peek which we can use as an opportunity to recall what we already learned about the item.
Enjoy more photos and video from our day…
The bunnies and chicks had an egg shaped pen for hopping around in. The sign invited us to count how many hops they made but they were so fast it was hard to do!
The project table was in full use again today. The next time these friends come to school all our collage supplies will be purple!
