Max and Ruby, characters created by Rosemary Wells, were the main attraction in our class this week! We heard a different Max and Ruby story every day. Max even joined our class room for the past two weeks! During circle time all the kids told Max what they know about bunnies and here is our list:
"They eat carrots." by Charlie
"They hop and like carrots a lot!" by Ava
"They hop really fast to get away from different animals." by Tori
"Bunnies live in their houses!" by Zoefii
"Bunnies hop and eat lettuce." by Naomi.
"Foxes take bunnies away from bears because bears like to eat bunnies!" by Jamie
"They hop on 4 feet." by Emma
"White bunnies camoflauge into the snow." by Parker
"Brown bunnies camoflauge into the dirt." by Carter
"We see bunnies at home." by Brooke
"When you try to catch them they hop away fast." by Knox
"They hop a lot!" by Mika
"Bunnies are furry!" by Caden.
We have three stuffed animal friends who are members of our class. Their names are Mousie, Cordory, and Rufus. Rufus is a bear who showed up on Mrs. Gould's chair one morning. We don't know how he got there except it turned out that he didn't know much of anything and really needed to go to school!! So we all decided that joining our class would be a really good idea for him. The kids wanted to know what these three had to say about bunnies so here is their list:
"Bunnies have families." said Max
"Bunnies come in different colors." said Cordoroy
"What are bunnies???" said Rufus.
We had show and tell and the kids brought in something to do with bunnies. We had stuffed bunnies, pictures of bunnies, books about bunnies and food that bunnies like to eat! Charlie brought in a whole carrot for each of us to eat during snack time. We loved it, thanks Charlie!! We had fun pretending we were bunnies while we ate the carrots, yum!!!
Of course during art, we had to make bunnies!
Later in the week we traced our foot, painted on stems and made a carrot!
Jayme told us his carrot was green because when carrots are growing underground they are green first before they turn orange!! We also used do-a-dots to fill in some pictures!
Tuesday was the day of the Easter Egg Hunt. We got so fortunate and had great weather! Heidi Curtis helped Joan hide the eggs while the kids were inside. During circle time we heard stories about eggs, and talked about eggs and animals that hatch out of eggs. Then it was time to go outside and see what the Easter Bunny left for us!! 
We each found 6 eggs!! (Thanks Betsy for filling all the eggs for us!! )
After all that excitement we were hungry, so it was time for our snack!
Birds nests with eggs...of course!!! (Thanks Heidi Curtis for making these!!)
After snack it was activity time. For our art project we made chicks using a blob of yellow paint, a fork, and adding some details for the face and feet. The next day we used dot stickers to decorate an egg for the chick to hatch out of!!
We wish all of you a wonderful Spring Break! Plan to see you back on April 14th!!
