We had a crazy day last week! It was “dress like your favourite character” day and our Humpty Dumpty challenge on the same day. Why the same day? We had to use the 2nd floor learning commons when it was available and it turned into a fun and crazy day. The designs the kids came up with was great? How do you protect your egg? What materials do we need? How do I modify my design? Seventeen of our prototypes worked! The others cracked, but each student told me how they would modify their design. We clapped for everyone and even had other teachers and classes come and checkout what all the excitement was about! Thank you to Mme. Nicole, our friendly library assistant, for her help dropping our eggs from the library.
Character day was wonderful! Students came to school dressed as their favourite character with the books that inspired their costumes. The kids were eager to share their books with each other and talk about why they choose it to share.
Check out a few examples of the characters:
Neon Crayon from The Day The Crayons Came Home and Fly Guy from the Fly Guy Series
Caption Hook from Peter Pan
Belle from Beauty And The Beast and Ada from Ada Twist Scientist
I was Waldo and our Educational Assistant was Scaredy Squirrel
We were invited to join Mrs. G’s class to take a closer look at the developing eggs with the farmer that we are hatching them for. With her expert hands and a flashlight we observed the developing chick! We saw the nerves, heart beating, feet, and even the developing feathers.
They are scheduled hatch this week so stay tuned! We can’t wait.
