Popcorn Popping

During large group this week we figured out who had a name that started with our popcorn sound. We had to figure it out. Hmmmm... Pamanda... hmmm no... It's not Pamanada it's AMANDA. Then we looked at some popcorn kernels, touched them, and talked about what happens when they get really really hot! We pretended to be popcorn kernels—curled up tight, got really hot, then popped open!  We then popped our own popcorn with our air popper while practicing our /p/ sound (Pop! Pop! Pop!). We gathered up popcorn kernels and put them in our cups and ate them! While we were eating popcorn, we watched and listened to the book “Popcorn” by Frank Asch. This activity can be extended at home by watching Frank Asch’s book online, talking about what happened, and finding objects that begin with the /p/ sound in your home.
           

Language Targets:
  •  Paste tense regular and irregular: picked it up, poured, popped, placed, held, ate, came out, and stuffed
  •  /p/: Auditory bombardment, production in initial and final position, phonemic awareness
