"Ee" and Egg

This week we were studying the letter "e" and our Unit study was on eggs. We started out with a raw egg. Selena surprised me when she made hand prints out of the egg yolk and egg white. We discussed the different parts of the egg.

I then let her watch me boil some eggs, knowing very well at the time she wouldn't quite understand what was happening.




The second day we took our eggs out side for an egg drop. First she tossed the hard boiled egg. She is examining how the shell cracked.

Now she got the surprise of her life when she dropped the raw egg. She didn't know what to think. After examining the mess in the bag, she grabbed the hard boiled egg and threw it down another 3 or 4 times until she realized it was not going to go splat like the raw egg did.

Then we went in and examined the hard boiled egg. She decided she liked the egg white, but not the egg yolk so well.

We did have scrambled eggs and also poched eggs for breakfast a couple of mornings so she could see some of the different ways to cook eggs. Though she has had her fair share of eggs to eat, so that wasn't nothing too new to her, other then how they cook.

I colored the egg shells from all our eggs, and she had fun making a mosaic out of them. Selena really had a lot of fun with this project.

We introduced her to a rice tray (Thank you Susana for the idea) Selena loved drawing in the rice, practiced a few numbers especially the number 8 and a few letters.

Selena had a very busy week, and now with AWANA, we are going to be taking a look at our schedule here, there are going to have to be some changes just don't know what at this point. We will continue a 4 day school week, but might take Thursday off instead of Friday. She was pretty tired today and I didn't get much out of her but her art work, so I think we will have to address this.
