Mold. From dust. On Bread. Which one goes moldy faster. With dust, or without dust. It's gross. REally gross. But what fun! Snick :) I did one with first graders as a whole class. Mold. From dust.

I also like the egg idea. that is very cool. science fair. wow. we didn't do them until jr high and high school, so first grade seems like a great idea! for a young lady of her artistic talents, you could do a nice color mixing project. clear tubes with various colors singly and blended into other colors.

Point being, the theme of the day was EGGS. Her class did egg blowing and how many books can we pile on top of half an egg shell and several other tricks with eggs. The big event of the day was an egg toss from the 2nd floor balcony - the kids had constructed egg protectors from drinking straws and tape. Some were quite elaborate. Many many things to do with eggs, apparently!

These are all day, grade wide events, that take weeks of preparation by both kids and parents alike. This year? They decided to have Immigration day the week before Christmas vacation. On a week's notice. I want to know who makes these decisions. That said, I think the egg idea is a great one. Perfect for her age.
