What do we know about Easter Egg Hunting?
Easter finding. They find eggs. Me, and Jason and Ethan find eggs. All the kids that celebrate Easter find eggs. A grown up hides the eggs and kids find them. The kids don't get to see where the grown ups put the eggs. There is candy in the eggs and the eggs are decorated. Sometimes they have silly happy faces, sometimes there is paint on them.
The trick to finding many eggs is to look everywhere. Look behind rocks, look in the front of the hill, the front of the door, the front of the house, look everywhere and when you see one you be quiet so nobody knows where the egg is and you get it. Then you put the egg in your basket.
You can draw Easter Eggs on PBS kid's "Daniel Tigers Neighborhood". (Click here to go to PBS kids)

Assignment:
We are going to look online for answers to the questions we have come up with above. Then we are going to look at images to get ideas of how to illustrate what a Easter Egg Hunt looks like. Then we are going to draw what it looks like and post it here. Then to finish up our daily kidipedia topic Kalia will brainstorm one final time what she has learned from her search while I type it for her.

And The Eostre Meaning:
Our final brainstorm: We learned more about Easter eggs, we learned they can have squiggles on them and that inside of the egg it is very dark. We learned that Easter is to celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. We learned that it is the coming of the spring and that all animals love spring and Easter. We learned that people celebrate Easter in different ways and for different reasons.
