We have had so much fun today! First we used shaving cream to make numbers. This is a great way for you to practice making numbers at home as well. Just squirt some shaving cream on a cookie sheet, spread it out, and make some numbers. Then we took the leaves we collected and made observations. Some of us arranged our leaves from the smallest to largest while others determined the size of their leaves with unifix cubes.
I thought the most exciting part of the day was when we used puppets to learn how important speech is in our writing. We had puppets tell a story, then went to work making our characters talk in our own writing by using speech bubbles. The best part of this workshop was when one student came up with a sentence that needed a super big speech bubble and several others rushed over to help him stretch out all the words in his long sentence. It was amazing to sit back and watch the kids take the lead in their own writing.
