Yesterday, we had a special guest in our room, Mrs. Dawn Mitchell. She is a fabulous writer and teacher. Mrs. Mitchell is currently working with teachers at OES on Writing Workshop and Inquiry Based Learning. She stopped by to teach a writing lesson on writing literary nonfiction books. She read the book, An Egg is Quiet. We know from studying insects this week, all kinds of creatures come from eggs!

 

 An Egg is Quiet by Dianna Aston and Sylvia Long

 

 

Here is diagram from the book. We learned about "labels" in a nonfiction text.

Embryo is our word of the week.

"Yo Yo, I'm the Embryo, I grow inside the YOlk!"

The yolk provides food for the embryo, while the egg white acts as a pillow.

Did you know that eggs have teeny tiny little holes that allow air to get in the egg?

Very Eggsteresting!
