They need to count the items and then string them on their “bracelet”Materials: Empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll cut in thirds, paint, blank paperPaint the bottom of the empty roll and use it to stamp for a bunnies head. Then bend the roll slightly to create an ear shape. Have your child make multiple bunnies and add faces to each. Encourage your child to act out the song. Sing it multiple times for them to practice matching the words with gestures.Materials: Scissors, glue, paper, coloring itemsCut out each of the stamped bunnies after they have dried.

TuesdayReadingMathCrafts and ActivitiesMovement and MusicExtension ActivitiesChildren will reread the “Tale of Peter Rabbit.” Encourage children to point out any words that they recognize (sight words, etc.) purpose of rereading this text is to look for words that express feelings. As you are reading, pause at any points where Peter is demonstrating feelings. Ask your child, how do you think Peter is feeling? Then look for a word on the page to describe it. Write down a list of feelings words and why Peter felt that way. Materials: cardboard, marker, small cars, figurines, toys, dolls, etc.Create a “parking lot” by numbering spaces on a piece of cardboard. You can give instructions to your child such as “fill 6 parking spaces” or “put the red car in spot 5.” Your child can practice number recognition and counting skills. You can also fill the spots and take cars away then count the cars that are leftMaterials:Paper, coloring itemsFold a sheet of paper in half. Using the list of feelings words, have your child select one example. On the top half of the sheet, have your child draw a picture of the event in the story then work together to add a sentence (i.e. Peter was scared when Mr. McGregor was chasing him).On the bottom half, have your child draw a time when he or she felt the same emotion and write a sentence (I felt scared when a dog chased me).Have your child hop and clap as you say the “hippity hop, hippity hay” portionMaterials: brown bag, paper, coloring itemsUse a brown paper bag and cutout ear, nose, and eye pieces to create a bunny puppetYour child can use the puppet as you do the “Hippity-Hop” songWednesdayReadingMathCrafts and ActivitiesMovement and MusicExtension ActivitiesUse the following link for your child to listen to an animated version of “Knuffle Bunny.” Start the video at 25 seconds to skip the preview of the book the video is playing, help your child think about the illustrations and text. Does this look the same or different then where you live? What happened when the Trixie wasn’t paying attention? What special toy do you have?Materials: Index cardsOn each index card, write a number with a picture of a house hold object (i.e. 3 toy cars). To simplify, you can write just the number and verbally add the object. Have your child find the object and then count the correct amount of items. Use the link below to print if possible or draw your own simple rabbit. Write “ears, fur, feet, tail, nose, whiskers, etc.” Have your child cut out each word and glue it to the proper part of the rabbit. Bunny Hop follows a repetitive pattern of motions to get your child moving. Materials: Popsicle sticks, paper, glue, coloring itemsHave your child begin by coloring their popsicle stick. Then provide them with ear and paw pieces to glue to their popsicle stick.

Repeat with other actions throughout the book.Materials: index cards or paper squaresOn each card, write a number 1-10. Create two sets of cards so each number has a match. Set one set of cards in number order and then hide the other set. Have your child search for each number card and then find its match until they have found all the cards.Materials: Paper, coloring itemsOn a paper, draw four boxes or print the organizer below. Have your child think of things that they can hear throughout their day like the bunny in the book. Draw a picture to match the sound in each box. Then work together to write a sentence for each “I hear a…..” Children can write part of the sentence depending on their writing ability Easter Bunny “Dance and Freeze” helps your child get moving. Play the song more than once for them to learn the different steps. Use a magazine or a newspaper and have your child cut out pictures of things they can hear. As they are cutting out the pictures, encourage them to explain their selection. “What do you hear in this picture?”FridayReadingMathCrafts and ActivitiesMovement and MusicExtension ActivitiesUse the following article to help your child understand facts about rabbits. you are reading, pause after different facts to explain further or ask your child questions. For example, when reading about burrows, draw a small picture to help them understand the meaning. When reading about their teeth ask, can you imagine if your teeth never stopped growing? How big do you think they would be?In the article, you will learn how far a bunny can hop. Using painter’s tape measure the distance of a bunny hop. Then challenge your child to jump as far as they can. Mark the jump and then work together to measure the jump. Try a few times to see how far your child can jump. You can also work with your child to find the difference between their jump and the bunny’s by counting up. To practice completing a sentence and writing, either print the following sheet or write in on a separate piece of paper. Read each sentence one at a time and have students respond orally with what they think the answer will be. Work together to find the word in the word bank; start with the initial sound of the word and match the letter to find it (i.e. nose starts with…. n, can you find the word with n?. your child follow the directions and hop around. Materials: Plastic spoon, fabric scraps or a paper towel to color, coloring items, paper, permanent markerTurn a plastic spoon into a bunny by adding ears, a face, and even clothes.
