E is for...

Elephants!

• We looked up all about African Elephants on: http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/african-elephant/
• We read many great Elephant books but our favorite one (or at least my favorite) was: http://www.amazon.com/Pete-Pickles-Berkeley-Breathed/dp/0399250824
• We also watched Horton Hears a Who and this great YouTube line up: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1795C73570B20D09

Eggs!
Between being sick and the busy-ness of the week we did not get a chance to work on anything with eggs. But here are some ideas i had:

• Easter Egg hunt
• Sorting and matching colored eggs
• Reading Jan Brett's The Easter Egg

Fun Snack/Food ideas: eggs, egg salad sandwiches, enchiladas, empenadas, eggplant.

Hopefully the next few weeks will be less busy and we'll be able to focus on the Letter F! :o)

D is for...

Dinosaurs!

-We read the "How Do Dinosaurs..." series. They're really cute. Check them out!

 We made face masks:

 Logan wanted to play

 Connor a little mad that Logan tried to eat his dinosaur mask. :)
