Week Twenty-Six: The Empty Pot + EASTER

Week 26 is The Empty Pot by Demi:

For the Empty Pot sensory bin, I made brown colored rice, and added a garden hand shovel and some little pots.  

Next we set up our bean sprouting experiment: 

We taped them on the classroom window from Tuesday until Friday but then I sent them home because it was Easter Break.

Our last Empty Pot activity was this:

I brought in some flower shapes to trace and asked them to only draw flowers in one of the two pots. Here is the printout for this.

This was the last week of school before Easter break.

Of course we read and learned about Easter.  Then we made these Easter crafts:

For these crosses:

1. We used a little of our green playdoh from St. Patrick's Day and pressed it into a cup of an egg carton
2. Apply some glue onto the playdoh
3. Press in some green Easter grass
4. Make the crosses out of popsicle sticks; one big cross and two little ones
5. Stick all three crosses into the playdoh

Another idea: make a felt Easter egg and some felt decorations for it, like my felt Christmas tree.
