Bringing Books to Life

Last week we read a book titled The Popcorn Book. It taught the boys all about different kinds of corn, the history of corn and about different ways people have made popcorn through the years. I told them if they worked hard on all of the assignments as well as the actual oral reading of it that we would make fresh popcorn in the class. None of the boys had ever made homemade popcorn so they were very excited to see the process.
Waiting for the hot air to heat the kernels.
They thought it was so fascinating.
They all enjoyed giant bowls of fresh popcorn while they worked on a writing task.
Lonnie was looking hard for information.
Walter snacked a little and then worked a little.
It was a great experience for the boys and a fun memory too!
