Finding a way to engage students during long oral reading passages is a common problem for teachers. Popcorn reading (or the practice of calling on students randomly to read aloud) is a popular choice for a whole group reading activity. However, I do not use popcorn reading in my classroom because I feel that there are several problems with this popular practice. Why I Don't Like Popcorn Reading 1.

Don’t worry, we haven’t made mushroom flavoured popcorn...yet. But maybe in the future… Anyway, we are all well aware that popcorn has become a beloved snack worldwide, offering a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavour. But did you know that not all popcorn is created equal? When it comes to popcorn varieties, two popular types stand out: mushroom popcorn and butterfly popcorn. In this blog post, we will delve into the differences between these two unique popcorn shapes. Join us as we explore the distinctive characteristics of mushroom popcorn and butterfly popcorn, shedding light on their shapes, popping methods, and how they can enhance your snacking experience. Mushroom Popcorn Mushroom popcorn, as the name suggests, boasts a round and compact shape that closely resembles a mushroom cap. Its key feature is its ability to pop into a dense, large, and rounded ball with fewer hulls compared to other popcorn varieties. This unique shape makes mushroom popcorn ideal for coating with a variety of flavours, such as caramel, chocolate, or savoury seasonings, as it holds up well under coatings. Its robust structure allows for an even distribution of flavours, delivering an exquisite taste with every bite. This is exactly why we use mushroom popcorn for our gourmet popcorn range, which consists of over 24 flavours of popcorn, ranging from caramel to chocolate to cheese and beyond! Butterfly Popcorn In contrast, butterfly popcorn is known for its characteristic butterfly-like shape when it pops. As the kernels heat up, the moisture inside causes the popcorn to burst open, forming irregularly shaped pieces with

It's Black Friday, and I'm not sure I have it in me to head out shopping today. But I can always make time for Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs Teaching! We finally moved in two weeks ago, and we are still working on getting things arranged. We got a new dining room table which I am loving, and yesterday we started hanging things up. It was so hard to put nails in those nicely painted walls! We already had our first power outage in the new house this week. I miraculously found a book light and was able to read in front of the fireplace. It was actually quite cozy! Living with my parents for a few months, I was spoiled by all the wonderful home-cooked meals! Meal planning and grocery shopping are among my least favorite chores. I did find a new gluten free pizza crust this week at Meijer, and it turned out great! The rest of the family (who don't have to do gluten free) even thought it was delicious! I sent out my biggest group of postcards the other day. I created a bunch of postcards for a variety of occasions to send to my students at home. When they accomplish certain things at school, they get a postcard, such as reading 10 books, 20 books, and so on towards the 40 book challenge. I have a clipboard where I check off which ones the students have received along with a copy of all their addresses. I also make sure to have a bunch of postcard stamps which are a little bit cheaper than regular ones. I've seen my students bring them to school to use as bookmarks and a parent commented to me a couple weeks ago how much her son enjoys getting them! :) You can find my Postcards From Your Teacher Bundle that is fully editable at my TPT Store! We had some fun on our half day before Thanksgiving. We started by reading The Popcorn Book by Tomie de Paola. It's about the history of popcorn, including how the Native Americans brought it to the first Thanksgiving. Then we held the Popcorn Olympics! This is a series of ten events where students compete against two others for gold, silver, and bronze medals. Events include...the popcorn cup catch... the popcorn blow... and the popcorn stack. You can find Popcorn Olympics in my Thanksgiving Activities Bundle at my TPT Store! For those of you brave enough to head out to the malls, I hope you find some great deals!
