WEDNESDAY APRIL 13, 2011

This week in the Preschool room we started talking about eggs. We talked about the color of eggs and the difference between an egg that is not cook compared to an egg that has been cook.
(observation)

We compared what would happen if we dropped a hard boiled egg verses a raw egg. We came to the conclusion that the shell would only break open if the egg was raw. The children observed that when the egg was cooked the shell would only break in pieces. The children really enjoyed observing eggs in different ways.

(science)

Today we made deviled eggs for the whole center. Some of the children did not like them at all. the children got to do the whole process in making them. They all took turns stirring the eggs and mayo, and taking a spoon and dropping them into the eggs.

In the afternoons we have been having our snack outside and doing story hour as well. Today Keller and Mia were working together as a team and taking turns pushing each other on the bike. It was nice to see them settting an example on how to share and be kind to our friends. Then all of our friends got to take a turn on the bike and work together as a class. It was a pleasant day.
