We have had lots of fun in preschool class with the bunny ears that I brought over here is just a collection of the pictures. As we wrapped up Easter in class we moved on to a very fun week of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. I took the basic idea of doing Five in a Row and brought it to life with the kiddos. We also started using our new circle time board ( Thank you ).
I have loved the idea of Five in a Row for years and we have used it
with my siblings many times. One thing I wasn't really thinking about is
that we would be doing five in a row times 6 classes! Let me just tell
you I can read that book now more so then ever in my sleep. But at the
end of the week when the older kiddos are saying "still hungry" at the
end of each page and they yell "BUTTERFLY" at the very end it makes it
all worth it. We had lots of fun mixing it up and using the new felt
board and story pieces to make the story come more to life. The kids
even made their own felt caterpillars one day and were excited to put
them on the board.
My favorite craft day by far was the day we made caterpillar
hats....each hat is slightly different as the kids placed the eyes on
their hats. Some are super closed together while others are totally
crooked. My favorite was taking group pics of the kiddos wearing them.
They all looked so stinkin cute.
We also did a food testing day with the older kids since were were able to find all the fruits the caterpillar eats his first 5 days and the kids got a big hit about eating snack at the same time we were doing story. The strawberries were a huge hit while the plums were not as much.
We closed our week up with making butterfly hand print paintings which of course I loved because I could do handprint art all the time.
Next week we are moving on to a spring themed week of fun!
