At recess, Cam participated in the Eggsellent Egg Crate Challenge. His egg, named Eggie Van Halen, survived a 50 feet throw. Cam's design was successful and protected Eggie the egg. Then during art class, he created his roller coaster track and did five marble runs. The longest distance his marble traveled was 34 feet.

Aiden finished his first vanitas drawing with a skull and two candles burning. He started another skull drawing.

We went outside and started by launching Eggbert the egg in his parachute in drops of six feet, eight feet, eight feet seven inches, and 10 feet 10 inches. He survived the flights. Then we dropped Jackson's egg 67 in his crate from several heights. 67 survived six feet, eight feet, and 10 feet drops. He also survived a 40 feet throw by Jackson. We had the measuring tape and measured the distances. For the 40 feet throw, Jackson had to add 25 feet plus 15 feet because the tape measure ends at 25 feet. Jackson's design was successful and protected 67 the egg.

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.

I gave Cam an uncooked uncracked egg that he had to name. He named his egg Eggie Van Halen. His design challenge was to create an egg crate that will protect his egg from cracking once it is nestled securely inside its crate and dropped from various heights on the playground. He made a very secure crate out of yarn, shredded packing tissue, aluminum foil, and foil insulation for food. He dropped Eggie from an approximate height of 20 feet by throwing it into the air. Before we unveil Eggie to see if he is intact, Cam wants to do more drops as a group with Jackson and Remi

Remington finished his symmetrical butterfly design. Then I gave Remington an uncooked uncracked egg that he had to name. He named his egg Tim. His design challenge was to create an egg crate that will protect his egg from cracking once it is nestled securely inside its crate and dropped from various heights on the playground. 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!

Jackson finished his symmetrical butterfly design. Then I gave Jackson an uncooked uncracked egg that he had to name. He named his egg 67. His design challenge was to create an egg crate that will protect his egg from cracking once it is nestled securely inside its crate and dropped from various heights on the playground. He made a very secure crate out of toilet paper rolls, foil insulation for food, tape, and cardboard. He also added wings like a hang glider. We measured height distances on the playground. We have 6 feet, 8 feet, and 10 feet drop options.

Cam is excited about his concert and sketched a preliminary design for a rock poster. Cam’s inspiration is a rock poster of Eddie Van Halen in a jumping midair pose and holding his guitar. He also designed his dream guitar.

Aiden is working on his vanitas drawing. He is adding teeth to the skull and a candle burning down showing time passing. He put the candle in a shaded area to create drama with the candle's light.

I tasked Jackson to create symmetrical patterns for each wing of a butterfly. The challenge is that the left wing: top and bottom and the right wing: top and bottom must be symmetrical or match. This art project supports critical and creative thinking. Jackson struggled a bit thinking of patterns. I gave him some pattern flashcards as references for ideas. After much encouragement, he tried a different pattern other than using two colors to color in half of the wing.
