WF 4/11 Creating Magic with Bedhead and Stinky Eggs

024

Good Morning Wee World! There are lessons to be learned, works to be worked and plays to be played. So we started with the laundry.

Friends got excited about how many times they could fold their piece of laundry. The folds of small pieces and large pieces were counted aloud and parents, don’t let ‘em fool ya’—not only are they master folders, they had a blast helping with this necessary work.

A morning long mini-society emerged in housekeeping that started with two big sisters and three little sisters. The big sisters were very focused on teaching good manners and enjoying great wealth. “We are rich! We give some of our money to the old people and keep the rest for ourselves.” one sister exclaimed.

We’ve been reading Margie Palatini’s hysterical story Bedhead, about Oliver, who awakens with bedhead and can’t work it out. Trout Fishing in America, a musical duo for kids, who hail from Houston, (www.troutmusic.com) sing a song as if it was written for the book: “My Hair Had A Party Last Night!” We put the two together, donned crazy hats, talked about the trials and tribulations of bedhead and had our own Wee Party on the music rug. Later, we calmed out bodies by listening to and guessing which instruments we heard a friend (behind the chair) playing.

The eggs are still evolving. In fact, today, Melinda introduced the concept of osmosis to our Wee Scientists. They placed the previously shelled eggs into a glass full of Karo syrup. She explained how, by tomorrow (or in 12 hours) osmosis will occur as the syrup pushes the egg’s water out, causing the egg to shrink. Friends got to feel the firm and rubbery egg that is evolving.
