An Eggciting Day!

The rain couldn't keep our cel-egg-bration down today in the Kozy Heart preschool room! We started the morning with our circle time and read The Easter Egg, by Jan Brett. The story is about Hoppi the rabbit, who helps a bird in need by keeping her egg warm until it hatches. We then made our own hatching easter eggs, and even practiced keeping them warm! 

We also finished our napkin egg science experiments from yesterday. The way the colors bled together looks awesome! 

Today we also opened the Kozy Heart beauty salon! It was time to give our friends the Grassheads a nice trim. Check out the students' handiwork... there were some very edgy 'dos!

In the afternoon we completed our Easter-themed math and science centers! 

We loved using pattern blocks to make fun Easter shapes like the Easter Bunny and Easter baskets! 

We tested our memory by playing Easter Egg concentration! There were 24 cards and it was hard to remember where the matches were! 

At this station we practiced number recognition by rolling a nine-number dice and covering up that many bunnies on our worksheet. The older kids did a really nice job helping the younger kids with their numbers. 

We practiced recognizing sentence structure with some simple, fun Easter sentences. Students arranged the sentences all on their own! 

For science today, we made hypotheses about what objects were inside the yellow eggs. W shook the eggs and listened to the sound they made; then we made a guess about what it could be inside. At the end of the day, we checked to see if our hypotheses were correct... many people had a great ear for science!
