Mystery Reader #14 and Eggs/Oviparous Animals!

We recently had our 14th Mystery Reader, Kelly's grandmother! She was so sweet to come to our class and read a great book called "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb" and the kids loved it. She even gave it to our class and it is in the class library right now for children to "check out". She enjoyed reading to our class as she used to be a classroom teacher herself! Thank you so much Mrs. Palmer!

Last week we spent time learning about oviparous (I never want the kids to forget this word!!) animals and doing some fun egg activities. We charted our schema about eggs and chicks and then wrote nonfiction books about them, created an interactive chart of oviparious animals and did some predicting about certain animals beforehand, created little oviparous animal booklets, wrote a story about finding an egg and what hatched out of it, reviewed adjectives and designed an egg and wrote adjectives to describe it, and wrote an interactive chart with the steps for dying an egg using time order words. The children also wrote their own books with the steps to dying an egg and then had the chance to dye one themselves. All in all it was a fun packed short week!
