We've been very busy!!

We would like to welcome 2 student teachers to our classroom.  Miss. Drouillard and Mr. Junas are here until April 28th. 

We discovered what an egg would look like if we cooked an egg with Miss Drouillard.

First we made predictions.  Here are some predictions:

1.  It would be hot
2.  A red bird will come out
3.  Everything is going to turn out white
4.  It's going to turn to a hard boiled egg
5.  It will be scrambled
6.  It will crack open

We discovered that it turned solid.  When we cooked it in the microwave, we heard popping.  It looked like an egg that we eat at home.  It was still a little slimy!! 


Mr. Junas put some pictures of birds near the playdough centre and we took all of the playdough tools away.  We wanted to see how the children would explore the playdough.  Mr. Junas sat with a group of children and they discussed moulding.  They created playdough birds and it really got them thinking about the parts of bird.  One JK friend said that she put wings on her bird and they flap.  I asked her why do they flap and she responded that birds need to flap their wings to fly.  Great language development!!

 


We have been discussing and researching things that come out of eggs.  Here in the sand centre, one friend announce that a baby grasshopper has just hatched out of the egg.  " Hatched"  Great language development!!

Mrs. Boose (our noon-aide assistant) made a beautiful cake for our class.  We put it out for the children to draw it.  Although it was very tempting to eat, we are proud to say that the children were able to wait until 2nd nutrition break to eat it.
