Bubbles! The children explored bubbles with the Thinking Routine of See, Think, Wonder. I wanted to do this first to see what they physically saw, what they thought about bubbles, and what they wonder. Bubbles are someing that a child experiences at an early age, maybe as early as the toddler years. My goal was for them to experience bubbles with the understanding of how bubbles are formed as well as to never stop having fun while learning! You might be asking, "How does this tie into the curriculum in First Grade?" Well, it does! The reading curriculum that we use at Woodland is Superkids. There is a nonfiction component to the reading that correlates with the skills that we are learning. Each unit, we make a social studies or science connection with the reading. The correlation for this particular event was from a fiction story about a character floating away on a big bubble and how the problem was solved. Jessica Twinkle was the character who was in a pickle because she was stuck on a big bubble. Do you see the spelling pattern we learned about... (-le) ? This brought us to the non fiction text "Bubbles". We thought why not make giant bubbles with Dr. Amazing and never stop having fun while learning!
