Remember me suggesting you start a collection of all 'theme' related items? As your teaching years grow in number--your 'gadgets' will as well! Here was one of my first purchases--an Egg Cuber. I found my original one at a kitchen store, but Amazon.com has them for sale too.

Bring on the Books!

My EGG related Humpty Dumpty books were all purchased through Amazon.com
Teaching in general is not a high-paying profession; but money is not what made you KNOW you wanted to teach.
For that reason, once you have chosen a 'theme' (EGGS for example), I suggest you begin purchasing items related to your theme and storing them in those big plastic containers with lids (the kind sold at Wal-Mart).
Next, if you have a large table in your room, make a 'tablecloth' which hides the containers you store underneath. You've just killed two birds with one stone!---ew, that doesn't sound good coming from an EGG lover.
 The illustrations make this book a hoot!

Book Description

Humpty Dumpty used to love climbing, but after his big fall his confidence is shattered. The doctor can fix his shell, but how will he get his nerve back? When one of the King’s horses gets stuck on a cliff, Humpty has a chance to show the world what a resilient egg he can be. Dave Horowitz creates a wholly original tale and cleverly mixes in lots of beloved nursery rhyme characters in a story that celebrates his love of climbing.

Did you know Humpty had a sister? Me neither!

Book Description

For hundreds of years, children have delighted in reciting the classic nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty’s fall. Over the centuries there have been many different interpretations, but some speculate that it was originally a riddle: “What could fall and break, but could not ever be repaired?” An egg is certainly one possible answer.

I'm EGG-stremely Thrilled to See you Here

Welcome! You've found my EGG-citing new adventure--blogging! I hope you'll find something helpful to use in your own EGG-straordinary classroom.

Let's start with the most 'famous' EGG of all time:  Humpty Dumpty. *Yes, I know the nursery rhyme never says that Humpty is an EGG--but we'll go with tradition here.

I did a GOOGLE search-- found & purchased these 2 delightful Humpty costumes:

Do grade-level teachers work as a TEAM in your building? Do you share materials? If so, split the cost of your favorite Humpty costume so everyone can enjoy surprising their students with your Humpty Dumpty Anticipatory Set. Cute!
