Elephant Eggs?

Theme:  Letter "E".  We practiced the sign and 2 sounds of letter "E".  We explored many things that begin with "E".

Choosing Time:  Duplos, Elephants, Little People Village,..

Questions of the Week:  Do you like elephants? Do you like to eat eggs? (My favorite response:  "I like them if they are cooked, but not with the shell on.")

Show & Tell:  With a short week, I nearly missed our fun show & tell.  Thank you Charlotte for bringing an Easter Egg filled with chocolate chips to share with Everyone!  And, thank you to all for the cute items sent!

Science:

• Eggs:  I showed them a fake egg that shows the yolk and the clear whitish fluid inside the shell of an egg.  We looked at a few different real eggs (one brown, one pink, one white).  I asked them if they thought all eggs were the same inside or not.  I explained that they are all the same inside even if the shells are different.
• Electricity:  I tried to use an electricity kit to show how currents work...I thought I could do it without the help from my older son.  I was wrong...so next week we will successfully have some fun with electricity.

Math/Sequencing:  We practiced the concept of smallest, small, big, bigger,,, biggest by using magnetic elephants.

Writing:  We practiced letter "B/b".  We also received an Envelope with our names inside.  We practiced writing our names like they were written in our envelopes.
