“*Dr. Kenneth Zike has said that at least 50% of the children with learning problems referred to the neurological clinic at his hospital had had no traumas, no birth injuries, and no other physical deviations. Their trouble seemed to come from pressure - pressure to do a task that they did not have the maturity to do.”

B is for Bubble Gum!

 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.
    Here's a website that should come in handy the next time you're teaching your students about bubble gum blowing:

    Here's the classic 'Sesame Street' film that sums it all up:
