Once upon a time there was a big piece of brown paper on a table. Children used their hands and rollers to turn it all green. Then when that paper was green, another brown paper appeared. When that turned green there was yet another paper! What were all of those green papers for?
Read on to learn more about the big green papers, our Easter Egg hunt, finding props for our play, a bunny who hides underground, and the unusual snack spots.
What did the green paper get used for?
A tree for our play about the bunny, grass for our paper bunnies and another tree at the Tiny Things table.
Where did we go for our Easter Egg hunt?
Outside! Ms Brenda made quick work of hiding plastic eggs, paper eggs, fruit snacks and Smarties!
Happy Easter, everyone!
What did we put on the end of the fishing pole?
A carrot!
We worked together to act out the play about The Runaway Bunny. We also had fabric to make the tree a mountain for one scene, blue scarves for the river, our fireplace corner for the home, a rocking chair, a cardboard hoe for the garden, a trapeze and circus tent, a basket for a burrow and a boat with a sail. There were 8 scenes all together and we clapped after each one.
Can you show how your bunny hops in the hole in the ground?
Usually we do this poem with our hands, but we can also do it with our paper bunnies.
Here are the words and directions to do with hands. The actions to this poem suggest the availability of left and right hand/arm mobility. When this is not an option, modifications can be made. While there is no assumption that all people have left and right hand/arm mobility and I do model these modifications during Circle Times, if you would like further ideas for someone in your care, please contact me.
Where did you choose to eat snack today?
Once again we had all the chairs at Circle Time for our play so children chose where they wanted to eat snack. Jensen brought us a yummy Easter snack! Thank you, Jensen! No matter where they ended up, they were under something…even if it was our ceiling. Some people had their “ceiling” closer than others.
Enjoy more photos and video from our day…
Some friends turned the letter U into an umbrella today, some will do it next time.
Today was the last preschool day of March which means the last day for our green things. The next time we come back to preschool, all of these green things will be purple! See you in April!
