seeds and eggs - an update!

 

 

 


The Kindergarteners have continued to observe our seedlings and practice reading our seed poem - taking turns reading the poem to their peers and reading the poem together. This week, the children highlighted noticings in our poem; circling blends and sight words, highlighting punctuation, and finding words inside of words!


With the ongoing support of Lise-Anne and Anna, we candled our eggs for the last time. The children confirmed that egg number 8 does not have a chick inside of it - so we have the potential for 26 eggs hatching next week! We weighed the eggs for a third time, comparing the weight with our original measurements. Many of the eggs stayed the same weight, with only one egg - egg number 26 - going down in weight.

With the help of all of the children, we followed Avery's idea for determining the biggest egg. During number corner, we added each measurement for all seven of our biggest eggs, using unifix cubes of blue (blue being a group of ten) and orange. Based on our math work, egg number 26 is (officially) the biggest!
