Looking For Eggs

 It was a beautiful day for us to have our Easter egg hunt.  It wasn't too hot and the the sun was so shiny.  Here are some pictures of our class in action, looking hard for their seven assigned eggs.  They were such good friends because they worked together.  It was amazing how they all helped each other find their eggs.  I am really proud of their good behavior and awesome listening because no one even attempted to open their eggs.  God is so wonderful.  These children let his light shine very brightly in their hearts today as they worked together.

Getting Ready For Our Easter Egg Hunt

 This was the BIG day.  Finally all of those skills that we have been practicing were put to the test.  It was our Easter Egg Hunt!  91 eggs shown here in these cartons and in the plastic bag, prepared with our information and ready to be carefully "hidden" by Mrs. Laurie.  Six of the eggs contained all of very important information and the other was a "bonus egg."  The bonus egg is something new this year since our class is so smart and eager to learn!  This egg was linked to their information sheet and each child had to find the egg with words that matched their assigned letter.  Sounds to hard...not for these smart cookies!  Don't we look excited?  (I'm not kidding myself, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the treats that were tucked away in each egg.)

On our way to the grassy patch!  "Walking feet" were hard to find as we made this journey around the church.

Easter Egg Paintings

We are the Easter Egg Artists.  As you can see we made these beautiful paintings and I don't think that you would ever guess that we used colored sweetened condensed milk to make these shiny, colorful creations.  I think our class did a great job paying attention to detail and using all of the colors.  We are such good artists and were very proud of this project!

Meet Our Caterpillars

Well they arrived!  Our little caterpillar friends finally made it to Pilgrim Community Preschool and we are very excited.  We will use the next couple of weeks to observe the changes in their small plastic containers and see them go to sleep in their warm, snuggly cocoons.  But until that happens, we used the democratic process to make suggestions for the names and voted on our favorites.  So meet Fenwick Missile and Princess Caterpillar.  Stay tuned for updates on the changes that we see as we wait for the great butterfly release at the end of April during our Spring Fling. 

Resurrection Biscuits

 Yummy Resurrection biscuits to help us remember that Jesus is not in the tomb on Easter morning.  These are tasty treats to help us learn the Easter story.

Welcome Back!

 We had some special guests in our class today!  Two graduates from Pilgrim Community Preschool returned to our classroom to share some books!  It is always so wonderful to welcome students back into our classroom to show off new skills.  I think it makes a huge impression on the children currently in the class because they get to me real kindergartners (& now 2nd grade brothers) and ask questions about what it kindergarten is really like.  It is always makes me smile to see how God has helped our students grow up.  Thanks so much for stopping in to say hi and share your reading skills!  (Merci Beaucoup!  C'est Tres Bien!  to my French Immersion friend.)

Yeah! It is Show & Tell!

 Show & Tell Week Again!  Look at all the really neat stuff we brought to share with our friends.  We did such a great job sharing our special thing with our friends.  Show & tell is just one of those things that every child loves and who wouldn't?  It is always fun to share treasures from home.
