All of these stories began with a note that said: Find the eggs in the room! When we take the time to listen to a child they will tell you everything. They are becoming some wonderful story tellers. The blocks supported the child's story and helped it come alive for them! Their expressive language is developing.

The Easter eggs are hiding!

Students X: The bunny is giving the other bunny some eggs because they have been good. They pop the eggs and take the candy out. They eat one and go back to getting the toys out of the eggs. The bunnies like the toys. Then the Easter eggs disappear because the bad bunny took their eggs. He was so rude he can't stop taking their eggs. The other bunnies started to give him a little kindness and have the bad bunny help them open some eggs. The bad bunny turns to good and all the bunnies go back to the house.

Student Y:The Easter bunny is getting kids candy and eggs to find. He is looking for another house to give the kids more candy and jelly beans. Then he goes to the next house and jumps in, then he went to a lot of houses.
Student R:Then bunny he give to children Easter eggs. He took them and picked them up and put them inside the house. He hid them in the house. He put a note on the table and then they look at the letters and read it. They know where to find the eggs. The note said : The Easter eggs are hiding. The kids need to find them.

Student J: The Easter bunny went into the house and give kids some eggs. He put the eggs in the sink where they wash their hands. Then the Easter bunny went out of the house to look for more Easter eggs. The kids ran down from upstairs to get a drink of some water. The kids found the Easter eggs. The bunny watched the kids find the eggs. They said, oh my gosh there is a hundred eggs in the sink! We need to put them away before Mommy gets home! Mommy said she saw the Easter bunny. Oh, children did the Easter bunny come and give you some eggs? Probably yes! They ran upstairs and go to sleep! Then end!

Student E: The bunny was in the house ad she was cooking pancakes. All the baby bunnies came to breakfast. They went to sleep after breakfast because it was so much food. They had full bellies!

Student A: Bunny lived in the tree being happy. He was having a party. He was having a sleepover party! He was super happy with his friends. His friends cheered him up, he was sad because he fell out of the tree on accident. His friends came over to make him feel better. He was sad he had no friends and then he made new friends!


Student B and M:The Easter bunny was in the factory making so much candy. So he had to eat some of the candy. He threw up the candy because he ate so much. After he felt better he went to the kid's house to give them candy. The kids were hiding but the Easter bunny found them and the kids went to sleep. The Easter bunny left them candy when they went to sleep. Then the Easter bunny started to give other people candy like parents. He went to the bad kid's house to give them no candy and he gave them rocks in their Easter baskets. Then in time the kids said uh man, the Easter bunny gave me rocks and the mom said, well you have to be good. So the bad kids went to their rooms and started to crying. The kids told their Mom if the Easter bunny gives me candy they would be good. The bad kid snuck out of the house and took candy from the Easter bunny's factory. He got caught and took him home. The Easter bunny told him to be good and he would give him candy. The End! You have to be good, no badness and listen to everybody!
