How To Blow A Bubble

We have been learning all about and working on Procedural writing or as we sometimes call it.. "How To.." writing.  This is where we write and explain in detail how to do something.  We use transitional words in our writing such as:  First, Next, Then, After That, Finally, etc.  We also found that it is very important that the steps be in order.  Also, it is good to add pictures at times to help the reader understand. Normally, I do not allow the kids to have or chew gum in our classroom.... BUT-Today we did "How To Blow A Bubble".  We took it one step at a time and wrote each step down as we did it.  We learned that sometimes it can be easy to skip steps if you are not careful.  The goal is to make the writing detailed enough so that someone else could read it and do it themselves.  Here are some pictures from our procedural writing experience today!  Some bubbles were small and some were BIG!  If we were to have had a contest Lily definitely would have won! She had huge bubbles every time!!  Not every one has mastered the bubble blowing yet, but that is ok.  They still had fun trying!

The kids insisted that I take a "selfie" with the bubble that I blew... They also requested that I post it on the blog with their pics. So, here it is..
