Is is possible to drop an egg without breaking it?

Each team had to come up with a "contraption" to protect their egg from a 
fall to the cement below!

TEAMWORK!






The DROP!!



Ready for the DROP!

Here are the teams with their "EGG PROTECTION CONTRAPTIONS!"











The BIG reveal!

Which eggs survived the fall?


3 groups had eggs that survived the Fall!



The other groups did their best to protect their eggs but
they ended up with a few cracks!







EVERYONE did an AWESOME job working together to come up with ideas to test out!

Hair cuts in progress!

Hair cuts are in progress!
Some said they were mowing their grass.
I offered to let them all come to my house this summer with their scissors and "mow" my yard,
 but not too many thought that was a good idea! (It was worth a try!)






Look at that concentration!

"I'm trimming her bangs!"

"Before the Cut and Style!"

Here are some pictures of our grass hair friends before we gave them a cuts and hair styles.
One friend said, "Our grass is getting out of control!" 
So we had to get it under control!








Kindergarten Garden Center

We have a "Garden Shop" dramatic play center in our classroom!
We have been learning through play about planting, gardening, flower arrangements, 
and money/paying for items!


How much does this cost?


Beautiful flower arrangements!




Carrot hats for hat day!
( Our Kinder friends drew and wrote about carrots for DAYS afterwards in their journals!)

Sight Word Centers!

 This afternoon all of our centers worked with sight words!

 "Hedbanz" with a twist!
In this version friends take turns spelling the sight word on another friends head.  
Then they have to figure out from the spelling which word they are "wearing!"


 Name those sight words!
How many sight words (or letters or sight word phrases) can you read in one minute?

 Messy Sight Word Writing!
 Can you read their words?

 Where's the Bear?
The bear is hiding under one of the sight word cups!
 "You found it on the first try!"

 More messy writing!


 Can you spell their sight words and then read them?
 Takes a lot of concentration to figure out your word!
