The Letter E

Week 5. The letter E.

Elephant

Our creative art project was creating a elephant out of the letter E. Once we had created our elephants we asked student to colored around the elephant to show what he/she was doing. Once they were done coloring we asked each student what they drew and what their elephant was doing. We used their words to write on the back what their elephant was doing. We used googly eyes instead of the construction paper made ones below. Our students love googly eyes.

This activity required
-scissors
-glue
-gray construction paper
-white construction paper
-markers
- pre outlined letter E, elephant feet, trunk, and ear.
-googly eyes



Egg Hunt

We hosted an egg hunt on our school playground for the children. Eggs were placed on the playground in various places and children were allowed to run around and collect eggs each day at recess. We used plastic eggs for the egg hunt. The eggs we used were not very durable. Some eggs ended up broken with sharp edges. Constantly check your plastic eggs each day.


Chicken Life Cycle

One standard that our children must understand is life cycle. In order to teach this process we used a chicken forming from an egg to a chick. The picture I have below is not the photo cards that we have, I instead searched for something similar to the life cycle cards we have.

Ideally these pictures are cut up into individual cards and students are asked to put them in order from beginning to end. We have another example of a tree life cycle and our students enjoy the chick life cycle much more.
