This eggs-periment surely got the attention of the pre-K students in Kathleen Murray’s class at Circleville Elementary School.

 

Ms. Murray’s lesson Friday morning was about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose birthday we celebrate on Monday, Jan. 20. Ms. Murray read the book “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” by Margaret McNamara. The students in the book were learning about Dr. King’s dream of all people being treated equally and fairly. It was his life’s work. The students in the book talked about their dreams – what they wanted to be and what they wanted for others, including a healthy world.

 

After reading and discussing the book, Ms. Murray brought out two eggs – one brown and one white. The students looked at them and agreed that they look different. Her question to the students was about the inside of the eggs – would they look the same or different once the shells were cracked.

 

 

The students gave their opinions with more than half thinking they’ll look different inside. Excited, the students watched as Ms. Murray cracked the eggs open to reveal identical contents!

 

“Just like the eggs, everyone is the same inside,” Ms. Murray told her students, no matter what we look like on the outside.

 

 

After the fun eggs-periment, the students broke into groups for different projects. They created hearts showing their uniqueness, colored pages about Dr. King and his mission, and worked on their vocabulary words, that included “different,” “equally” and “the same.
