The number E and counting 5 & 6

Thursday Counting number 5 and 6

Today the kids made a book of counting "eggs".  I had gotten a basket and put different animals that lay eggs in them.  I then put Easter eggs in each basket.  The kids had to count how many “eggs” each animal had laid.  I gave them a book to put stickers in to match how many eggs that animal laid.  The kids did such a good job putting their stickers on the page.  Jackson and Josh have enjoyed counting the stickers on each page. 

Another activity we did was, finding hidden foam circles with safety questions on them.  The kids were so excited to find their circles and enjoyed answering their questions.  After the kids found all the circles, they had to sort out the oranges ones.  I thought it was funny because no one wanted an orange circle.   The sad thing was half of them were orange.  The girls kept walking around wanting to find a pink or purple circle. 

Sidenote- My boys did not listen very well.  After we played at the school park today, Josh was way in front of everyone and he walked across the street on his own to the car.  

Tuesday- E

For the letter “E” we talked about eggs.  I let the kids go on a egg hunt.  They each had a certain color to go and find 5 eggs.  The eggs and egg cartons were #1-5.  After they all found there eggs they had to match them to their correct spot in the egg carton.  The kids did such a good job matching the numbers up.  

Sorry there are no pictures.  I will try and post some later.
