Fall Focus - "Room on the Broom" - Fabulous Frogs Class

​  During October, our literary focus was on       the book, Room On The Broom, which tells the story of a kind witch and her cat who   make room for some unlikely friends that end up helping out in the end.  The class absolutely loved it! We read the book several   times and did activities connecting our  monthly class lessons. We explored     different ways to have fun and learn at the    same time.

To promote investigation, increase vocabulary and learn about being responsible, each child chose one word from the book that they didn’t know and became “investigators”, taking the word home and asking their family for the definition.  The next day they came to class and shared what they had learned.

We also made a witch shape craft to review our shapes  and colors.



For  Science time in our Fun Friday, we performed the experiment “Fizzing mud”, using baking soda, food coloring and a foam cat cut out for hiding!  Each child made their own ball of mud with the cat inside and they discovered that if we combine baking soda and vinegar, it causes a chemical  reaction with a lot of bubbles!!  Then, the cat reappears!!
Our class had so much fun  learning through Room on the Broom!
