An Extraordinary Egg!

We have been learning about eggs and the many animals and insects that hatch out of them. Yesterday, I introduced a new take home activity where the chosen student gets to take our enormous egg, An Extraordinary Egg book by Leo Leoni and the clues sheet home with him/her. Their job as a family is to read the book together and find an object around the house to place inside the egg. They are to then write three clues describing the object. The next day, the student will read the clues to the class and the class will have three chances to guess what is in the egg. What an "egg"cellent project!
