Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall

Elena has been learning the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" at school this week. Mrs. Zawadski believes in teaching to the kids in multiple formats. So, in addition to reading the story, they enacted it with the felt board, did art projects, and broke eggs on the ground. Elena was particularly interested in this exercise, and leaned in close to get a good look. She continued to watch over the egg until it was time to clean it up, even after most of the other children had moved on to other activities.
Later that day, the class decorated their own Humpty Dumpty eggs with construction paper pieces using glue sticks.
