Well, this week has been busy, messy, and very exciting! We enjoyed different Easter themed activities everyday. On Wednesday, we dyed Easter eggs.
Easter Art!
We certainly strengthened our fine motor skills this week through several different art activities. On Tuesday, we filled plastic eggs with a variety of materials, and then had fun rolling them around in paint. You can click here to see more pictures of our egg rolling paint.
We didn't let the weather hold us back on Thursday. We modified our messy outdoor art project and brought the fun inside! The students were thrilled with this project. We let their creativity shine as they threw paint filled eggs onto canvases. They also had access to paint filled squeeze bottles, as well as bumpy rollers to finish off their masterpieces. We used a LOT of paint. Good thing those canvases have the long weekend to dry! You can click here to see more pictures of our artistic creations.
We made push pin egg art with Mrs. Mosher, our classroom occupational therapist this week. The students enjoyed this activity which helped to strengthen their fine motor skills and pincer grasp.
Egg Science
It was all giggles and screams while we did egg experiments. We used water, eggs, and Alka Seltzer tablets to make egg rockets. The students were shocked when the eggs popped open. You can click here to see more pictures of our egg rocket adventures. Bunnies in the Gym
We played bunny tag, had egg relay races, and also balanced eggs on spoons in the gym this week. The students were full of energy and very excited about the Easter games. You can click here to see more pictures from the gym.
Egg Hunt
After working hard to make Easter baskets, the students were thrilled on Thursday when we surprised them with an Easter egg hunt.
