Our Easter Centers were so much fun!


(And a sneaky way to practice some Math skills too!!)






We wrapped up our Goldilocks Literary Analysis with some size ordering... 



and some story retelling and sequencing too!
(Oh and we snuck in some scissor work while we were at it too!)



Our Little Bear Craft (five day friends) came out so cute!!
They will soon be on display in our Gallery!


We made a little shape review bunny craft...




and did great cutting out our grass rectangles too!!






We did so well on our Easter Story Lesson.



We were amazed by all the good deeds we collected throughout Lent!





We continued learning about Easter and new beginnings by making our hatching chick craft...


(Did you notice the ovals???  Sssshhhh... more shape practice!!)


Hatching (scissor skill practice) our eggs (ovals) was our favorite part!!





We have so much fun playing inside...




and outside too!!





A great BIG THANK YOU to our B. Family for donating their cool workbench to our Learning Center!!  We are all having so much fun playing with it!!



Our Easter Movement Games were so much fun!!!







Our Five Day Friends are getting so good at coloring by number!!!


And are fabulous at Easter YOGA too!!



๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿ‡I hope everyone had a Blessed Easter and a Wonderful Spring Break.๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿฃ

Wishing you an unparalleled unique week,
