It was a very active double class today! We went outside and started by launching Eggbert the egg in his parachute in six feet, eight feet, and 10 feet drops. He survived the flights. Then we played badminton and moved to a few Danny Go! videos. Then we dropped Remington's egg Tim in his crate outside from several heights. Tim survived six feet, eight feet and 10 feet drops. He also survived 20 feet and 29 feet throws by Remington. We had the measuring tape and measured the distances. Remington's design was successful and protected Tim the egg.

Remington finished his symmetrical butterfly design. Then I gave Remington an uncooked uncracked egg that he had to name. He named his egg Tim.

We will measure the height distance in feet. Remington jumped right in utilizing the supplies in the art room. He used three toilet paper rolls, wool balls, cotton rounds, and tape and created his crate for Tim. He was focused and engaged!
