Easter

Easter Party 

Today we made our Easter Bunny bags, we turned ourselves into bunnies with our headbands we made, and we used our CVCe eggs. We also did a peep science experiment. First we used our five senses to explore a sour watermelon peep. Oh my, did they taste sour and different from a regular peep. We then put regular peeps into different kinds of liquids to see what would happen. First we predicted what we thought would happen and then watched the peep. We left them in the liquid for a few hours to see if we saw a change in them. 










Peep Science

Oil - Prediction: It would get wet.
                         It would melt.
                               It would dissolve. 
                            It would burn. 
                               It would explode. 
                              It would drown. 

What happened: It floated. 
                                                 It was covered in oil. 

Water - Prediction: It would get wet.
                                   It would melt.
                                         It would explode. 
                                   It would float. 
                                                   The sugar might fall off. 

What happened: It floated. 
                                            The sugar came off.

Vinegar - Prediction: It would get wet.
                         It would melt.
                               It would dissolve. 
                         The sugar will come off. 
                               It would explode. 
                              It would drown. 
                         It would float. 

What happened: The water turned pink/red.
The sugar came off.
It was sinking alittle bit. 

Vinegar and Baking soda: Prediction: It would get wet.
                         The sugar would come off.

CVCe words, Blends and Word families

We have been working on CVCe words, blends (ex: cl, gr, dr, bl), and word families. The word family was written on the chicken eggs and carrot eggs and we had to use the letters inside them to build words. The blends and CVCe words were written on four sectioned eggs. We had to work at putting them together and reading the word. Then we had to figure out if it was a real word or nonsense word.
