The students were able to see the embryo inside of the eggs. We were able to see most of the eggs, however, some of the eggs we have are brown and green and these we will not be able to see until the embryo grows. The green eggs we will not be able to see at all. After candling we talked about Dr. Seuss and his birthday! The students had all their center work based around Dr. Seuss and journaling about the eggs. The students made a hat that each student had to come up with their own set of word families from -at.
After the students created these hats they went back to journaling about the embryos they saw. The embryos look like a dark, dime size shadow in the shell. We kept a tally chart of which eggs we could see the embryos in and which ones we could not. Here are the students entries.

I think it is a lot of fun watching how the journaling process allows the students to grow! The students slowly write more and their spelling getting closer to the actual spelling. Journaling at the Kindergarten level is a very high level skill. I am so proud of my students!
After all our afternoon activities and classes we spent some time getting to know Dr. Seuss. We watched a clip on the Brain Pop website http://www.brainpopjr.com/readingandwriting/authors/drseuss/
and took the quiz. The students LOVE these clips and they are so informational. We also made Dr. Seuss hat treats. We used bananas for the white and strawberries for the red part.
