On Tuesday, the students and I had a fun time learning about eggs! We learned about what type of eggs different animals lay. We also talked about the size, shape and color of eggs! Did you know that the hummingbird eggs are smaller than a house key?
I even shared a nest my mom found abandoned with eggs left inside. Do you know what type of bird left this nest? Well, the first graders know! It's a robin's nest! Such pretty eggs!
As part of our egg fun, we also read the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. First we read the poem, then we went back and talked about rhyming words, and finally we made a Humpty egg and watched him fall off of his wall! We had to recite the poem a few times and knock our humpty down several times to get some good cracks! Poor Humpty Dumpty!
After Humpty Dumpty, we tested the strength of four eggs. We predicted how many books the eggs could hold before cracking and then tested our predictions. The eggs held 38 books!
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together
