Camping in the Classroom!

After playing at Cheezie's Pizza Restaurant for over a month, the children decided that they needed a change.  After a quick vote, they decided to turn the Homeliving Center into a camp ground!

It was a tie between Camp and Jewlery Store so we had to have a run-off and Camp won.

 

We learned a lot about camping!

 

This is how we began to transform Home Living center into our camp ground.

Shelby, Kounte, Brent and Baylor are working on the tree trunks.

 

 

Scarlett and Shelby made branches.



 

A lot of people cut out leaves.

 

Brent and Baylor measured to see how long the paper needed to be for the grass.

 

 



 

 



"Egg" citing News!

While we were away enjoying Spring Break, our incubator was warming up to a perfect 100 degrees.  By the time we got to school on Monday, everyone was excited to find 15 chicken eggs safely insided!

This is the first time that I have used an automatic egg turner when incubating eggs.  Mother hens turn their eggs several times each day to keep the yolk from sticking to one side.

 

 

We are learning all about chickens and eggs this week in Shared Reading.  We learned from our research that it takes 21 days for eggs to hatch.  That means that on April 21 or 22  we should have chicks! 

 

We found a great website that shows us exactly what is happening in our eggs each day.
