"Egg"-cellent Ways to Learn Letters...with a little FREEBIE!


  YAY!! Spring Break is here!! 

Now I wish the weather would just cooperate a bit!
   This coming week, I plan to relax a bit, maybe catch up with some blogging and then… we are going to the Alicia Keys Girl on Fire Concert…in Toronto! It is only a 2 hour drive away, and I am SO EXCITED!!  It will prove to be the highlight of my spring break! 
   I am a huge fan of Alicia Keys! She is truly a talented artist (whom I had the pleasure of meeting years ago at her book signing) and after 10 years, she still remains my favorite artist, always keeping it classy with her wonderful work!  This will be the 2nd time I attend one of her concerts and I cannot wait!!!! 
   Anyhow, I will save all the excitement for later!!
   It has been all about eggs and letters the past few days with my little munchkin.
   Here are just a few simple activity ideas that we did throughout the week to practice learning letters with a fun Easter theme!
   I saw this idea on Apples and ABCs blog, using sight words and I just tweaked the activity for my little one!
   We worked on letter identification with these cute little eggs that I found at the Dollar Tree. I filled them with letter tiles, Easter confetti and some jellybeans! My personal favorites are Starburst Jelly Beans…Pure Deliciousness!!!
   She emptied each egg and named the letters that were in each one! And as a special bonus, if she named all the letters correctly, she was able to eat the jelly beans that were inside the eggs!
   And here is another idea that we have yet to do, but she has been waiting for me to get it all together!
 
   I was still on a Peep high from our Peep-tastic fun from earlier this week, so I created a Peeps Alphabet Match FREEBIE just in time for EASTER, which is also featured on this week’s Freebie Friday at Teaching Blog Addict.

  1. I LOVE Cafepress! My favorite are the shirts! My son and I have matching shirts that we ordered from there. I love their sweatshirts that say things like, "I love kindergarten!"
    They have everything!

  9. Hi! Love the name of your blog. My favorite cafe press item is my pirate beagle shirt that I bought because my classroom theme this year is Bartram's Buccaneers. Yes I have a beagle. I have worn my shirt so much I will be needing to replace it for next year.
