Bunnies

The class had fun completing their Easter stations yesterday. Here are the Easter bunnies the kids made. I designed an easy pattern. The kids cut out both ears, both top paws and both bottom paws at the same time. I traced them on one sheet and stapled a second sheet to the bottom of the top sheet. The kids loved them!

April Showers

Each month, I have my class practice fine motor skills by completing a lacing project. On Friday, the class made umbrellas to decorate my small bulletin board for April. Umbrellas are decorated with butterflies and ducks confetti. 

The kids laced only the top part of the umbrella as the handle is too thin to lace. I always wrap tape on the end of the yarn the kids are pulling through each hole to make it easier for them. No need to worry about it fraying on them.  This week we will begin our April tally chart recording how many rainy days versus sunny days in the month. Happy April Everybody!
