"Nn" Easter and Spring Party




We talked a lot about Spring today. We talked about how flowers are starting to grow, about seeing baby animals around, and birds building NESTS.

We read "The Best Nest" by P.D. Eastman, and Miss Janalynn even passed around a real bird's nest for all of us to see. We headed up stairs to the kitchen where we watched butter melt with marshmallows. We poured the marshmallow mixture over Chinese NOODLES and then proceded to get our hands gooey by shaping a NEST with the mixture. Miss Janalynn added jelly bean eggs and a marshmallow peep to our nest.



Miss Janalynn had the music for the "Bunny Hop". We all took turns being the leader and tried to do lead the rest in the fun hopping dance.
After making a Easter Bunny Basket out of milk jugs, we played Duck. Duck Goose, while Miss Janalynn hid Easter Eggs with our names on them around her house (It was rainy weather outside, so we had our Easter Egg Hunt indoors). It was a lot of fun today. Plenty of sugar and movement.


In our older class we started on our NAME Pictures.
