So, do you work on Monday? We have the day off so we spent some time this week learning about Martin Luther King, Jr.
I did this activity for the first time this year, and I tell you, I had goosebumps when I cracked the eggs and heard my kiddos reactions. It took all those moments when we read books about "being yourself" {Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon} and "it's what's on the inside not the outside that counts" {Elmer}and combined it with two eggs, simply cracked, to get it - I mean, really get it. I heard oohh's and ahhs....

| I'm not exactly sure where this idea originated - but I found it on Pinterest |
We made doves, signs of peace, to display ways that we thought we could work at keeping our classroom a peaceful place...

If you are lucky enough to work on Monday <wink, wink> and are a Last Minute Lucy you can pick up my pack to help you muddle through the day!

ReplyDeleteHello Holly Dear:
ReplyDeleteLove the egg idea. LOVE the dove. But what I love most of all is that you have been setting the stage all year for concepts like this to make sense. You really are a terrific teacher...

Hey Miss Holly,
ReplyDeleteI did the egg thing today. . . I gave every two kids two eggs. I showed them how to crack it and how to open it into the bowl. . . Well it worked. . . for the most part. Only one child didn't quite hit their bowl to open it in. . . . Ha! Then they were timid of touching it! It was a good demonstration. Thanks for the cool idea. I also used the poem you put up there. You're my hero!
