Here are a few highlights from our Easter/Spring unit. We also learn about Passover during this unit. Holiday units are always lots of fun. We have a lot of good books to read and a ton of supplemental activities, as well as all the fun that goes along with the holiday itself (which I will cover in other posts). We started our unit by reviewing the Passover story, talking about the symbolism of the Passover Seder and making paper matzah covers (shown below).

We continue our unit with stories about Easter and spring with a focus on rabbits and flowers. The kids had fun with their unit folder when Degen decided that he wanted some of his flowers to spin, and Kyrie thought that was a great idea. Each child attached a few of their flowers to their folders using brads to create this fun effect. They also had fun building flowers with Legos, stamping spring pictures and putting together spring/Easter-themed craft kits. Our special unit lunch was bunny pancakes, which the kids gobbled up with honey! Of course, there were lots of holiday activities to reinforce the theme and lots of time spent outside enjoying the beautiful spring weather this week!
