Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! How are we feeling today?"
(Wait for responses)
"Wonderful! Today, we are going to talk about a very special holiday called Easter. Can anyone tell me what they know about Easter?"
(Allow students to share their thoughts)
"Great ideas! Easter is a time when many people celebrate with family and friends. We will learn more about its significance, traditions, and even do some fun activities!"
Teacher: "Before we dive into Easter, let's take a moment to check our homework from last time. Can anyone remind us what we were supposed to do for homework?"
(Listen to student responses)
"Excellent! Now, let’s look at your homework together. Did everyone enjoy sharing their stories or pictures about favorite holidays? What made your holiday special?"
(Engage in group discussion but do not call on individual students)
"These are fantastic traditions that we all have! It’s important to share and learn from each other."
Teacher: "Now, let’s settle down for a story! I have a wonderful Easter storybook here. It’s about how a little bunny prepares for Easter. Let’s see what happens!"
(Read the story aloud, showing illustrations)
"Now that we've finished the story, what did you all think? What was your favorite part?"
(Encourage students to answer and ask additional open-ended questions)
"Why do you think Easter is important? What traditions did the bunny have that you liked?"
Teacher: "That was a lovely story! Now, let's get creative. I have some Easter-themed cards for each of you."
(Distribute the printable cards)
"On these cards, I want you to draw something that reminds you of Easter. It could be a bunny, eggs, or a family gathering. You can also use crayons and markers to make it colorful!"
"Remember to write your name on the back of your card. You have 10 minutes to complete your cards. I’ll be walking around to help if you need it."
(Encourage participation and offer support as they work)
Teacher: "Alright, everyone! Time’s up! Please put your markers down."
"Now, I’m going to collect your cards. I will take a look at what you have created."
(Collect cards randomly and give brief feedback on a few)
"Wow, I’m seeing some amazing artwork! You all have really great ideas about Easter traditions!"
Teacher: "Before we wrap up, I have a very special homework assignment for you. I want you to think about what you love most about Easter. Maybe it’s a favorite food, a game, or even spending time with family."
"Draw or write about it and bring it back for our next class. Can you do that?"
(Wait for responses)
"Fantastic!"
Teacher: "As we come to the end of today’s lesson, let’s quickly recap. What did we learn about Easter today?"
