Get Crackin' and Make This Oviparous Egg Center 1 of 3!

Hey all you Smart Teachers!  We have EGGS on the brain and NOW is the perfect time to pick them up pretty much anywhere {and soon they will all be on sale!}  I thought I would share an EGGcellent freebie with you to use in your classroom.
{Want another EGGcellent freebie - check THIS post}
We LOVE learning about oviparous animals in kindergarten, not to mention all of the EGGstremely fun egg activities that go with the study. One center that my Smart Tarts enjoy is our Sight Word Scrambled Eggs center. Each plastic egg contains letter beads that spell a sight word. 
They crack open ONE EGG AT A TIME {can you tell I say this MANY TIMES before letting them loose in this center?! HAHAHA!} and unscramble the sight word in the egg.
Once they figure out the word, they write it on their center accountability sheet.
After they put that egg back together, they can move on to the next egg. You may have to say this many times, "DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT OPEN ALL EGGS AT ONCE!" That is EGGstremely important for your sanity!! :D
 They kids love it, and it is challenging, so it keeps them busy.

Pick up your copy of the accountability sheet here.

Tips & Ideas:

  • Use color & number words to add to the difficulty
  • Add a student or two's name in the egg mix
  • Color code each carton ... They carton pictured above has blue & pink eggs. I have another carton with yellow & green eggs. It helps keep everything organized.
  • For differentiation, keep a sight word list in the center to help your Smart Tarts that have a difficult time figuring out the words on their own.

I hope that you are as EGGcited as I am for this center.

I SHELL be back! That was a YOLK! Hardy Har Har!
