Life's Hard Questions

This week we've been taking a closer look at this book:


The conversations surrounding this book has been so interesting. There is definitely a bit of a divide in the group. Some children are on the side of 'first the egg', and some are on the side of 'first the chicken', and some are on the fence. There has been quite a debate.
It's interesting their logic behind the answers, and just like the rest of the world, the children have discovered that their initial answer was simple and easy, but once they took to explaining their answer, they became stumped. Although one child was adamant about his reply, and just stated, 'the egg came first because it just did.' Sometimes that's the best answer, just straight up, because it just did.
Which side of the fence are you on?
