An Extra Exciting Week!

What a busy week! We learned about the traditions of Passover and Easter and were thrilled to find that for both holidays the egg symbolized a new beginning. To celebrate these new beginnings and our new -eg word family, we enjoyed an egg hunt full of word families and popcorn words. The girls worked hard to find as many eggs as they could and they wrote down the words they found on the eggs. After collecting the eggs they were challenged to each read a different word from their list. We were able to read 24 different words! Enjoy some pictures below!

This week we also worked on some new popcorn words and played a fun game to practice reading them. The girls had to guess which cup under which their leader chose to hide the bear. We observed some excellent teamwork!

The girls also worked on sorting the eggs from our egg hunt. It was quite a challenge because there were so many eggs!

Finally, we ended our week with a special lesson with Elia's mom, Sia Kyriakakos. Sia is an art teacher and was so kind to do a Frozen themed art project with the girls. They took pictures of themselves with their iPads and drew self-portraits using the pictures. They then turned those self portraits into Anna or Elsa and added glitter snowflakes and a few sentences about why they chose their character. What a fun morning!

Thank you Ms. Sia!
