Egg-cellent

We focused this week on the letter E, number 4, and ovals. So our theme was EGGS!

We read these great books. 

Decorated e's with Easter egg stickers. 

Egg-periment #1 Will the egg float? We added salt to one of the cups of warm water and were amazed to see that egg floated!

Then we painted wooden eggs. 

We worked in our workbooks. Snack wasn't too exciting today, just grapes, goldfish and chocolate milk. It would have been fun to eat egg sandwiches, but I knew none of them would go for it. 

Egg-periment #2 Spinning Eggs. We learned that hard boiled eggs spin faster than raw eggs. Then practiced with the hard boiled eggs. 

We practiced counting with eggs/ovals. 

After working in our number workbooks, we did Egg-periment #3 Bouncing Eggs. I had soaked raw eggs in vinegar for three days. That changes the shell so that it bounces. They ended up breaking if bounced from too high, but work down low 

Next we created patterns with our eggs/ovals. 

Egg-periment #4 Egg in a Bottle

At first the peeled hard boiled egg wouldn't fit through the neck of the bottle. But I lit some paper on fire and put the egg back and it slid right through. They loved this!

We has fun being little scientists and learning about eggs today!
