For my egg drop project I used marshmallow fluff. I took a little of fluff out and put the egg in. Then I put some more fluff on top of it and compressed it in. When we got assigned the project the first thing I thought of was marshmallow fluff. I wanted something that would hold the egg so it wouldn’t move and break. I also taped the lid with duct tape so the lid wouldn’t fly off or break. The marshmallow fluff is super sticky and thick so I thought it would be perfect to hold the egg in place.…
To begin the lesson, they played a game called “Guess who makes that sound?”. This game included the teacher playing various sounds of different species of frogs without showing the student the video. The students were then supposed to guess the type of animal making the sound, many guessing crickets and rarely guessing frog. The teacher then showed them the video part to connect the call to the frog, which created a discussion about how frogs make sound and if all frog calls sound the same. Throughout the lesson the students use a KLEWS chart (K for know, L for Learn, E for evidence, W for wonderings, and S for Scientific Principle).…
2. The next day I decided to bring in an old hat from home that we could use as an activity for the toddlers. During circle time one of the toddlers began to say the word hat-cold. I began to smile and introduce to the toddlers a different hat. I also had different colored blocks for the toddlers. As I put one block in the hat, I gave the hat to one toddler to put a block in. I was demonstrating and assisting the toddlers with passing and putting the blocks in the hat.…

Bring two foods that look similar but taste very different (orange and lemon, sugar and salt, yogurt and sour cream, etc.) Put them in plates next to each other. Have the children use their 5 senses to try to determine which is which. Asked the children to describe how the substances smell, feel, look, sound (as you gently shake the plate) and finally taste.…
Cardae- he did an excellent job with writing the names of the animals. He filled in every line in the correct place. His animal he chose was a lemming. He spelled it “laming” this was with him sounding it out. He got 5/7 letters correct in the spelling. His picture matched the poster we use for behavior. I thought it was cute how he made the connection. He followed the format of the story we read to write his own part. He did very well on this assignment. I would only ask that he sounds out the words more to get the correct spelling.…
These would be something that I would do for one of my own sketch. I will a plastic bottle and inside of uses the shredded paper, I will use something else, something more solster then shredded paper, inside of the clay I will be using the lid of the water bottle. I will try to find a way to put the egg from the other side and how I will cover it up. So when I drop it the egg will not fall off and crack. Then I will leave something to opened to see if it broke or not. I would paint the bottle for people cant tell if it really broke but then if I did…

The children had to use the shapes that they had been learning about; square, circle, triangle, hexagon.…

As one teacher walks into my science class, she takes my science teacher, Mr. Kniebes, out into the hall. When he returned, he asked the class if anyone had a talent they wanted to share in front of the entire middle school. I raised my hand as slow as molasses moves in January. Mr. Kniebes brought me into the hall to have me tell the lady what my talent was that I would like to share in front of the entire middle school. I told her, “Solving the Rubik's Cube.”…
During the observation the students first went over characteristics of animals and insects, such as habitats, adaptations they do, and how they live. The activity that followed was pairing up with another student to create a bug out of construction paper, scissors, and crayons that were placed on the table at the back for students to pick out from. There was ease of use of materials for all students. Then they would then hide the bug in the room for a “bird”, another student, to try to find. The goal is to camouflage the bug in a habitat so that they are harder to find. The children were excited to do this activity and the teacher was very interactive on with all students as she walked around and talked to most of the pairs to see what they were doing.…
Sherwood Anderson’s “The Egg” is a work that, viewed through the eyes of Freud, would have the theory of the tripartite psyche. The main character’s view of his father and mother inter play perfectly with Oedipal references. The character’s view of life in general is affected by his early childhood recollections and experiences, and Freud would have a heyday if this patient were on his couch. Ironically, the egg in the story relates to failures and destruction rather than the new life it should represent.…
