First graders' five senses
were tantalized as a popcorn snow
flurry occurred right before their very eyes.
The students' eyes were as big as saucers as popcorn popped out of the pan and
landed on a bed sheet. Seventeen little noses sniffed the oily hot aroma of
freshly popped corn. Thirty-four ears perked up as they heard the sound of dancing
kernels go, "POP! POP, POP, POP!"
I told the students, "No touching, no
tasting...not yet." I encouraged students to use words to describe the
popping corn. I recorded the adjectives on popcorn shaped paper.
Once all the popcorn popped out of the pan, I prepared another batch for students to touch and taste. This time I put the lid on to catch the popcorn and redirected the class back to naming their five senses and using their senses to describe popcorn. When it was all over, the students asked if we could do it again.
