Plastic Easter Eggs

From various blogs, I saw many different ways to use plastic Easter Eggs. I wrote Caroline's name on the plastic egg with the capital letter on top and the lower case on the bottom. I opened the carton and we looked at the eggs. Then I took them all apart and she had to match the capital and lower case letters. Also, "F" and "B" we added to the carton. She was really upset that she was missing two eggs, so the next lesson, I will add "S" and "P."

Sorting Beets

In our garden we grew beets. The recipe to can the beets said to sort them by size. This was a perfect activity for Devon on size comparison. After she sorted them, I put the larger beets on the bottom of the pan and we talked about why bigger beets would take longer to cook. Perfect lesson.
