Egg-citing Egg Drop!

Egg-citing Egg Drop!

The "Egg-Drop" experiment was a fun science experiment.  Each student was asked to create a protective container that would keep a raw egg from cracking when dropped.  Eggs that smashed or cracked failed the test while eggs that survived without a scratch passed!  Because eggs are so delicate, it was important to pack the egg with some type of cushion.  

We had fun with this “EGGS-PERIMENT”!

LOOK AT THESE "EGGS-CELLENT" PROTECTIVE CONTAINERS!

There were many smart ideas.  

Some of the materials used were: 

sponges, cotton balls, foam, plastic wrap, paper, cloth, boxes, cans,  socks, straws, felt and many other great ideas

 

 

 

Now it's time to "DROP" the eggs!  We dropped the eggs from the top of our play-scape.

  We had lots of eggs survive!!!  

Everyone did a fantastic job!  It was a fun day!

Happy Spring Break!

We hope everyone has a safe and fun spring break.  

We will see you back at school on March 16th!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

 Today was filled with Dr. Seuss Fun!

 We had green eggs and ham!

We liked them, Sam I am!

We made a hat out of strawberries and bananas!

"Try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I say." ― Green Eggs and Ham

We had several students dress as characters from famous Dr. Seuss stories as well as bring their favorite Dr. Seuss book!

"It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how." — The Cat in the Hat

 "It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." —The Lorax

 “Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how.”
― Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat (Deluxe Edition)

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”

Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

 Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

 

“Don't give up! I believe in you all.
A person's a person, no matter how small!
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!”
Dr. Seuss, Fox in Socks

We read "ACROSS KINDERGARTEN" with Dr. Seuss.

The kindergarten students heard a different story from each teacher and it was lots of fun!

 

 We made cat hats and practiced reading -at family words!

It was a fun day for all!
