The Egg Drop

In connection with a section on Nursery Rhymes, our kindergartner participated in his school's egg drop.

 The goal was to avoid being Humpty-Dumpty.  Each child took an egg and then secured it with whatever they wanted to in order to protect it from a big fall.  
 Our kindergartner chose a combination of toilet paper and styrofoam.  Typically the principal gets up on the roof and drops it down outside, but with the snow, they improvised...

 and dropped them from the gym's basketball hoop.


 There were a few casualties....

but his egg survived the drop!  Each kindergartner also got to dress up and recite a nursery rhyme of choice.  He chose:
To market, to market, to buy a fine pig
Home again!  Home again! Jiggety-jig!
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again!  Home again!  Jiggety-jog!
My husband often says this little rhyme...he learned it from his Grandpa Black.
