Chick Project, Day 11
STORY TIME - One of our all-time favorite stories to tell at school! Then we make our friends into pizzas!
Talking point: Would you like to be made into a pizza? What would you use for toppings?
GODLY PLAY
LETTER of the WEEK : Qq
Write the letter Q. We verbally say, "Start your letter at the top, make a big curve down and keep going to make a big curve up and stop. Pick your marker or pencil up and leap down to make a short line that slides from the inside of the circle to the outside of the circle. Draw a picture of something that begins with Q; or for tactile learning, shape the letter Q in play dough or a small plate of salt or flour. For our pre-writers, if you have a chalk board and some chalk, draw the letter Q and have your child erase it with a small wet sponge, or they can wet their finger and erase it.
MATH
The Shape of the Month is an Oval like an egg!
Color in or put an X through the Eggs Numbered 11, 12, and 13 over the weekend on your Countdown to Hatch Day Calendar. Using your pointer finger, touch and count each egg on your calendar and count. See if you can count all the way to the end!

SCIENCE
Review the inside of an egg chart in our Chick Journal. The children often wonder if the chick eggs are the same as what we eat for breakfast. It is good to reassure them that the eggs we eat for breakfast are different because they have not been fertilized. A hen and a rooster need to be near each other in the same pen for the eggs to be fertilized. After looking at the chart, crack an egg open on a plate and compare it to the picture. See if you can find the parts outlined in the picture. No need to waste an egg for this project, you can wait until you need an egg for cooking.
Have an Egg taste test: scrambled, hard-boiled, and fried or soft-boiled. Which do you like best?
CREATIVE ART
Start a life cycle diagram on a piece of paper. Draw a hen at the top. Add on an arrow down to the middle edge of the paper and draw a nest with an egg in it. Continue with another arrow pointing to the bottom of the paper. Draw an egg with an embryo inside.
