At snack time, Kayson began to tell us that "Easter is not all about jelly beans and chocolate bunnies." This was a greats segue into "Why do we celebrate Easter?" We talked briefly about Easter being the day when we remember Jesus Christ and his life, death, and resurrection--that we will live again--like the hope of Spring, eggs, and new life--chicks, bunnies, ducklings, etc.
I love teaching this beautiful age because the children's responses are so beautiful and pure. "I'm going to give an egg to Jesus!" "I'm going to paint Jesus on my egg!"
Recess Outside! Yeah! We got to go outside for a brief recess today. Ethan took yellow chalk and began to write Xs on the outside of the house, walls, cement floor, etc. "I'm marking the place where the Easter Rabbit can come--so he will find us!"
We saw a beautiful yellow and black tinted butterfly, budding roses, creeping insects, and loved sunshine.
Inside, we read stories about eggs and reviewed colors, predicted and counted eggs, and then water colored our own!
Ethan remarked, "My egg is a 'Fireworks Egg!'." The other children then began to name their egg creations.
He found us!
