Letter E Week was "Egg-cellent"

Letter E Week was a very Exciting Week even though we had several friends out sick. We are so glad that everyone is feeling better and back on schedule.

                                                  We made Elephants using recycled Cd's.

We made " mosaic" Elmer elephants.They looked so pretty on the window. If you haven't read the Elmer book you'll have to. The kids loved it at story time. That was our " story stretcher" for the week!

                  We did an eggcellent experiment. We placed 2 eggs in vinegar in a tightly sealed container.

Then we left them there for 2 days. Here was our conclusion!
2 Hours: Noticed Bubbles covered the shells.
1 day: Shell was dissolved and the egg was translucent.
2 days: Egg was rubbery on the outside but we soon realized the egg was still raw on the inside.

                     
                             We also practiced our cutting, gluing and figuring out what started with letter E.

We finished up our western unit with armadillo's. The spaghetti noodles were to explain how it's shell was very hard. We glued them onto the armadillo's shell.

They also loved the sensory play with " Ivory Clouds". It's just an ivory bar of soap that has been heated in the microwave. It makes it very fluffy and a great texture to play with.

Finally we made Earth paintings with shaving cream paint to give it texture. We swirled blue and green to make our earth. We talked about how the blue is the waters and the green is the land.

                                             Heritage Farms trips on Thursday and Friday.
