We chewed sugar free gum, listened to the story Trouble Gum, tried to learn to blow bubbles, and wrote a paragraph on how to blow a bubble.
The children were so excited about this! This is one of the reasons I love teaching!
Something so simple could be so enjoyable. Next time...I will not say, spit out your gum in the garbage and let's chew another one.
Oh, you can bet I will say let's chew another one.
BUT, I will not say...spit it out...there was more spit on the wall than in the garbage. Choose your words carefully people....choose your words carefully!
I am a bubble gum historian who is always on the hunt for new material on the subject.
