E in the middle says:
How do you fe-e-el?
When you find an E
Try either sound,
To help you discover
The word you have found!

EYES
Read to children Arthur’s Eyes by Marc Brown. Set up an eye doctor’s office in your dramatic play area so children can “act out” parts of the story.
EATING PLANTS
Talk with children about plants that people eat. Then name a couple of plants — cauliflower and broccoli — that the students might or might not have mentioned. Explain that the parts of the cauliflower and broccoli plants that we eat are the “flower” parts. Then make the dip below and have students use these edible “flowers” to try the dip.
Blend well — 1-1/2 cups sour cream — 2/3 cup mayonnaise — 2 tablespoons dry Italian salad dressing mix
Refrigerate for several hours. Then cut up raw veggies and edible flowers and enjoy a dipping snack.
ELEPHANT X 3 Take an elephant walk.
Let children stand in a long line with one hand back between their legs. The other hand should be reaching forward to hold the “tail” hand of the child in front. Let the line of elephants move slowly to music. You might use the elephant music from Saint Saen’s Carnival of Animals for this procession. [Click to download a sound file of the elephant music from Carnival of Animals.]
Make paper elephants. Fold a 9- by 12-inch sheet of paper in half the short way (to create a sheet that is 9- by 6 inches in size). Then cut an arch from the center of the open side (creating legs). Cut a 6-inch circle (the elephant’s head) and paste it onto the top left of the folded side. Cut two smaller half circles (ears) and paste them onto either side of the head. Finally, cut a 1-inch by 5-inch strip of paper (trunk) and paste it onto the front of the head. Decorate with markers or crayons.
Make elephant ears.
Follow this simple recipe. — Break 6 eggs into a large bowl and beat them. — Add 2 cups milk and 3 tablespoons melted shortening and beat again. — Add 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 teaspoons sugar and mix well. — Heat oil in an electric frying pan. — Pour batter in 5-inch circles and brown on both sides. Spread the elephant ears with applesauce and form the letter E with raisins on top. Enjoy!
EGG-G-G-S —
Let children talk about their favorite ways to eat eggs — scrambled, poached, hard-boiled, fried, egg salad, and so on. Draw a graph on top of an egg-shape piece of poster board. Show a picture of each type of egg down the left side of the graph. Invite children to cast their votes by placing egg stickers onto the graph in the appropriate row. Ask more or fewer questions about the graph. For example, Did more students prefer fried or scrambled eggs? or Did fewer students vote for hard-boiled or poached eggs? — Write a number onto the bottom of each cup in an egg carton. Place two cotton balls into the carton and close it. Let children shake the carton, open it and add the numbers found in the cups where the cotton balls landed. Older children can write the number sentences.
EXCELLENT!
Talk about the meaning of the word excellent. Let children try using it in sentences. Use it as your word of praise for the week!
AN ENVELOPE FOR ME
Explain why people use envelopes. Show different kinds and sizes. Give each child an envelope to decorate. Collect all the envelopes. Write a short note to each child, giving him or her some praise or encouragement. Mail an envelope to to each child’s home.

This school year, each of our newsletters will bring you and your children activities featuring a letter of the alphabet. We know that many of you introduce the alphabet to your children one letter at a time, sharing activities that reinforce it during the course of several weeks. We hope our new format will support your teaching and give you some new ideas to enhance your alphabet instruction. (Susan LaBella 2011)

Some class students having fun dying their Easter Eggs to put inside the baskets.
Alguns alunos se divertindo ao pintarem seus ovos de Páscoa para colocá-los nas cestinhas.
Essa foi uma das muitas atividades que foram feitas pelos alunos durante essa semana. As cestas também foram confeccionadas por eles, trançando jornal.
Segue matéria sobre o papel dos pais e dos educadores nos dias atuais, onde muitas vezes tais funções se invertem ou se mesclam para atender às necessidades das crianças.
DIG FOR DINO BONES Read to Children Dinosaur Bones by Aliki. Then try one or more of these activities. — Prepare dinosaur “bones” from a store-bought mold or purchase plastic bones at a craft store. Hide the bones in a sand table or sand box outdoors. Let children dig for the bones with shovels or use colanders to sift the sand. As an alternate activity, use brightly colored paints to paint rocks of various sizes to look like jewels or gold. Bury them in a sandbox and let children dig for buried treasure. — Give each child various pieces of uncooked pasta, glue, and a piece of drawing paper. After viewing pictures of dinosaur skeletons, children can create their own by gluing various pasta onto the paper.
DRINK IT UP! Talk with children about drinks. Make a list of drinks children like including milk, juice, water, and so on. Then explain to children that a smoothie is a type of drink they might like to try. Together, use this recipe to make and enjoy smoothies.
Yogurt Smoothie In a blender combine: 1 cup vanilla yogurt 1 cup fruit (banana, strawberry) 1 cup milk ½ ice cubes
DUCK, DUCK, MORE DUCKS — Choose one child to be a parent duck. He or she covers his/her eyes. Hide a hardboiled egg somewhere in the room. Let the parent duck search for it. All the other ducklings (the class) quack quietly. As the parent gets closer to the hiding spot, the ducklings “quack” louder until the egg is discovered. Repeat game with another parent. — Let children make cute, simple baby ducks. On a paper plate let each child place a handful of yellow (Easter basket) grass. Gently sit two black paper eyes on the grass and a orange triangle “beak.” Place a small orange feather on each side of the grass — and name your baby duck. — Gather ten small plastic yellow “bath ducks.” Write a different number from 1 to 10 on the bottom of each duck. Let children place the ducks in the correct number sequence; use them to display a number from 1 to 10; or use them to create number sentences such as 1 duck + 2 ducks = 3 ducks.
DIAMOND DESIGNS Cut out numerous diamond shapes from different pieces of colored paper. Give each child several of the paper shapes, glue, a sheet of any color construction paper, and a small brush. Demonstrate how to create a design with the shapes. Then invite children create their own designs by dabbing glue onto each of the shapes with their brushes and pressing the shapes onto the colored construction paper.
A “BE-U-D-FUL” BOOK LIST You might want to share one of these “D” books with your class: D Is for Dancing Dragon: A China Alphabet by Carol Crane D Is for Doodle by Deborah Zemke D Is for Dreidel by Tanya Lee Stone and Dawn Apperley D Is for Drum: A Native American Alphabet by Michael Shoulders, Debbie Shoulders, and Irving Toddy
DAISY DO Give each child a blue sheet of construction paper. Paint the length of each child’s fingers (only) with white paint. Let each child press his/her fingers onto the paper. Repeat this until each child has created a circle of finger prints. Let children paint the middle of their circle yellow. Finally children can add a green stem by gluing on a piece of green pipe cleaner.
DELICIOUS DONUTS With your class make this easy recipe for donuts. — Let children use a round cookie cutter to cut circles from refrigerator biscuit dough. — Place them in heated cooking oil until both sides are brown. — Remove and place on paper towels. — Dip in sugar, cinnamon, or powdered sugar.
YOUR WORD CORNER Here are some words you will need. See them, say them … hey, you can read!! down did dog day Write the words on a chart and review them. Read each sentence aloud. Try each word in each sentence. Let children tell you which word fits. Jon looked ________________ at his shoes. Look at what I ______________! What a nice brown ______________. Which _______________ is the party?

Share this poem with children. Then, let them create a picture of the person to whom they would like to give a valentine.
On Valentine’s Day
A bright red heart
Is meant to say,
“Will you be mine
This Valentine’s Day?”
Hearts of pink
With lace so fine
Asks the question,
“Will you be mine?”
On this day
Let’s treat our friends
To smiles and kindness
That will not end!

ACTIVITY IDEAS
HEART MATH
Try any of these simple activities to strengthen math skills.
-Cut several large paper hearts in half vertically. On one half write a number. On the other show a corresponding number of dots. Mix up the halves and let children match them.
-Glue large valentine hearts onto a piece of oak tag. Cut the hearts into puzzle-like pieces. Invite children to put the puzzles together.
-Place a bowl of colored candy hearts out. Let children sort them by color, word color, or by message.
A VALENTINE’S DAY SNACK
Place chunks of white chocolate in a bowl and melt in the microwave. Next, add drops of red food coloring into the chocolate and stir. Keep adding until you get the desired color—red or pink. Dip pretzels into the chocolate mixture and place on wax paper to dry. Serve as a Valentine snack.
SCENTED HEARTS
Cut out two hearts of the same size for each child. Let children decorate one side of each heart as they wish using lace, glitter, stickers, and so on. Glue or staple the two hearts together with decorated sides facing out. Leave an opening at the top of the two hearts. Now spray cotton balls with a mildly scented perfume or room freshener. Insert several of the cotton balls through the open area and between the two hearts. Glue or staple the remaining area closed. Let children take them home to give to a special person.
WHO DO YOU LOVE?
Let children complete this sentence frame: “I love _.” Copy it onto a piece of drawing paper for each child. Invite children to draw a picture to go with their sentences. Bind the drawings into a class booklet with the title “Who Do I Love?”
VALENTINE RUBBINGS
Tape heart shapes cut from paper doilies or sandpaper onto a table. Place a piece of thin white paper over each and let children color over the shapes with crayons. Voila! Pretty decorative hearts for cards or pictures.
