Happy Friday!  We began our day outside.  It was a little bit chilly this morning.  Since we go outside early in the morning, please feel free to being a light jacket for your child.  

Back in the classroom we popped some popcorn!  

"Will the red ones pop red?" 

"Why are they different colors?" 

"It's popping!"

"Be careful!  It's hot!" 

"How does it pop?"

"It needs the oil, right?" 

We compared the popcorn. 

This was a natural writing opportunity.  I wrote down what the friends said, and noticed that some friends were gathering paper to do the same. 

As they were writing, one of the friends began asking other friends if they like popcorn...  

and graphed the responses.  Other friends followed suit! 

Exploring the letters during free choice time 

The friends wanted to hang their graphs in the classroom - so we did! 

We then read this funny book about popcorn. 

During Jesus time we reviewed that Jesus is always with us and He loves us very much!
