We started the Monday with E the elephant who liked to exercise. Dorian used my 2 lb weigh to make the e, e, e, sound as I read the story. My son then practiced writing the letter E for the first time.
Connect the dot alphabet to make the picture of E the elephant.
This took so much work, but I found a picture of an unhappy elephant and added a ton of reasons for the elephant to be unhappy. I then gave the kids a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers for them to examine the elephant! It was a lot of work, but the kids loved it!

Elephant day just wouldn't be complete without elephant hats!
Tuesday: Egg day
The kids were a little leery about eating the green eggs, but ended up eating them all...and since then have had to make colored eggs every morning for breakfast :)
Wednesday (E bodyparts)
Luckily, being so close to Halloween, we found a bag of chocolate eyes! The kids glued this to the letter E after taste testing a few of them
After eyes, we painted using only our elbows!
Messy, but tons of fun!
This activity took the most time, but was a big success. I drew monsters, eyes, ears and eyebrows and allowed the kids to switch them up, taking turns to make a different monster each time.

Friday: review and electricity
My friend brought over his Van de Graff Generator as we talked about electricity. My son LOVED this so much, that even my mom came in to see what all the giggling was about :)
