Humpty Dumpty & Egg Unit
Spring is the perfect time for an egg unit ! Eggs are everywhere! I didn't want to make eggs a tie in for Easter though so we are doing a unit on Humpty Dumpty instead.
We started with me introducing the poem and then the boys followed along.
Then I asked them to work together and make a wall that Humpty could sit on.
Imagine their delight as we sat down a REAL egg, complete with a face, and acted out the poem. SPLAT ! Poor Humpty !

It's easy to make stories come to life !
|
A closer examination was necessary....
 |
Hands on learning as often as you can !
|
 |
| What fun |
Then we sat together and tried to solve the mystery.... What happened ? How did Humpty Dumpty manage to fall off that wall ?
 |
the things they come up with
|
While the younger children focused on the letter "H"....
 |
age 2
|
 |
| age 4 |
My grade 1 child answered and illustrated what they did with the broken pieces....
 |
| age 6 |
We identified rhyming words ...
 |
| 4 year old underlined and the 6 year old also rewrote the words |
And then we made a craft. Sponge painting a brick wall for Humpty Dumpty !
 |
Worked well for a multi aged group
|

Working carefully
|
 |
| He took it so seriously ! |
I let my two year old play with the cleaned up egg shells.
 |
It bounced !
|
 |
Puppets to act out the story using your arm as the wall
|
 |
The shell disappears
|
 |
The King wasn't the only one with an army
|
 |
| Science for little ones ! |
