Family Gingerbread Project

Here is our December Family Project! We read several different versions of the Gingerbread Man Story! We compared them before we left for Holiday break. So I tied our family project to the Gingerbread Man. The object was to disguise your gingerbread man so he wouldn't get eaten by the fox!

Turkey Family Project

Yes, Yes I know! This is from November! But I'm posting it anyways!

For November we did a Family Turkey Project!! WOW did we have some awesome ones come in! The object is to disguise the Turkey so he won't find his way to the dinner table.

Most of my kids and their families take part in the family project! We continually send reminders to those that don't! As a part of the GSRP program family involvement is an integral part. This is one of the ways the parents can be involved without having to come into the classroom!

A few weeks ago we worked on Fairy Tales. The kids had soooooooooo much fun! I brought science into our unit by observing and experimenting with eggs.

First we experimented with Humpty, Dumtpy to see if he really fell off the wall! He does! 

This is what we started with! I made a brick wall our of a cheese-it box! Our other experiment was.... Will Humpty Dumpty sink/float at the pool, and sink/float in the ocean!

They played in the egg yolks! 

The kids looked at the yolks of the eggs!

The kids observed the eggs while they were in water!

Here we learned that everything looks bigger in water!

I was surprised that all of then played in the eggs once they cracked! My supervisor happened to be in during our small group time and was kind of grossed out by it! But the kids has a blast! They were engaged the WHOLE time!
