E is for Engine! We read the book "The Little Engine That Could" By: Watty Piper. Then we form the letter E beginning with a train engine. We also used legos.
E is for eggs. The students learned to crack open raw eggs, mix the yolk and egg white, then pour the egg on a griddle to make scrambled eggs. The entire class enjoyed the eggs. Next, the students were given hard-boiled eggs to peel and eat. Ms. Kristen and I were surprised all of the students like the taste of hard-boiled eggs! We discussed that a raw egg is a liquid matter and a cooked egg becomes solid matter. We observed that solid matter has its own shape and liquid does not have its own shape it takes the shape of its container.
Show and Share for letter Ee. Elephant, Eeyore, a real egg, a toy egg, the earth and an elephant blanket.
We practiced writing the letter Ee with our pointer finger in the sky, on the carpet and on paper. We wrote rainbow Ee's by tracing the letter Ee with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple makers. We dot art the letter Ee and finally wrote the letter Ee.
E - big line down, frog jump up, hat, belt, shoes.
e - hit the ball, run around the bases.
E is for Elefun! We played Elefun and as we played we counted the butterflies that we caught. We counted by ones to thirty and named the colors of the butterflies, orange, blue, green and yellow.
E is for Earth. We read the book "The Earth and I" by: Frank Asch. We used a globe to find North America and Pennsylvania. We talked about our favorite activities: Going to the beach, swimming under water, hiking, playing on the playground.
E is for experiments and explosions!
We made explosions!
1. Pour baking soda in bowls.
2. Add food coloring.
3. Pour vinegar over the baking soda and food coloring and watch the bubbling explosion!!!
Bee Tree ends in Ee!! We played the Honeybee Tree Game. The Honeybee Tree Game includes a hive, tree, base, leaves and bumble bees. The students need to pull the leaves from the tree without disturbing the bees! This game is a FUN way to engage the students in math.
Counting: we counted 32 leaves and 30 bees.
Graphing: we used the leaves and bees to create a graph to determine which row had more and which row had less.
Addition: we added the bees and leaves - 62! 30 +32=62
E is for Eleven! Each student had a container of manipulative toys and was told to count out 11 items. This was a great activity to practice One-to-One Correspondence counting. Following this activity the class was instructed to line-up the 11 items in rows. Then we could visualize that some rows were short and others long, but each row still has 11 items. We counted each row together, as a class, and learned that bigger items take up more space than smaller items. Last, the students wrote the number 11 on the white board, on paper and placed 11 dots on their papers.
E is for Empty! We read the book: "When This Box Is Full" by: Patricia Lillie. Then, we discussed empty versus full and completed a science experiment by filling an empty bowl with liquid and creating Tie-Dyed Milk. I found this project at www.coolscience.org/CoolScience/KidScientists/tiedyemilk.htm
