Functional writing in kindergarten is my absolute favorite...although it may be a little pricey at times. Last week, we learned how to blow a bubble using gum, make lemonade, and catch a star. My favorite thing to do is to show my students the materials first and ask them what they think we are going to be doing. I asked my class how to blow a bubble using gum and the first thing they said was to put it in my mouth. I put the gum still in the wrapper in my mouth. It is really great for them to see misconceptions to help them really think about all of the steps. This week we are going to learn how to make alligator pie, fly a kite, blow a bubble using bubbles, and plant seeds. Below you will find a few ideas I've used in our classroom. Enjoy!
How to Catch a Star
Such a great story to read for functional writing! Make sure to check it out from your local Public Library.
Our bulletin board...come check it out!
How cute is this? First I would get a parent and some wings. Next I would fly up to the sky. Last I would catch the star.
Oh, how I love their imaginations! First I would get 100 balloons. Next I would float to the sky. Last I would catch the star.
