Energetically Experiencing Letter E Week

We started out Letter E week with making our own Egg Sandwiches.  I allowed the kids to crack their own Eggs and then scramble the Egg Whites and Yolks.  I am pretty sure they got a bit more on their hands and clothes than in the pan, but they had fun doing this activity.  We actually ended up having Eggs most mornings for Breakfast this week.  We had dippy eggs, egg sandwiches, and scrambled eggs. 

Yummy!!!  They loved their sandwiches that they made themselves.

We also decided to Entertain our Friend Erin Berry with a Princess Tea Party.  The kids had fun eating with her and drinking their tea.  Erin even brought Ava a Princess Tiara for the party. 

We also decided to make Letter E Elephants with eyes and tusks.  This was a bit hard and needed some assistance with the glue, but they were very Excited!!

Ava got her first Eye Exam at the doctors office and we talked about eyes and why we need them and what they do.  We took walks for exercise and did some other Exercise activities.    We also sang a song called, "One Enormous Elephant, marching down the street.  Two large Ears and four big Feet.  He passed a friend, who wasn't afraid to join a friend and form a parade.  Two Enormous Elephants marching down the street. . . ." and you can add from there.

One of the fun crafts we did was The Eye Dropper Filter painting job.  We laid coffee filters down and then used Eye Droppers to drop colored water on the filters.  When they dried, we made them into flowers along with Pipe Cleaners and then Encouraged Aunty One-L with them. 

By the End of E week, the kids were really good at writing the Capital Letter E.  We also worked with Easter Eggs, and discussed how to Encourage someone and Entertain someone.  We learned some cute Elephant poems and songs and sang them while we danced around like Elephants.  We also talked about the story of Adam and Eve and how Eve ate the Fruit and got kicked out of Eden.  The other Bible Story we focused on was Esther and her Bravery.
