Dylan enjoyed listening to 'Bartholomew and the Oobleck'.He did well making predictions. Focus was on sequence, cause and effect and characterization. In the story, the king demands the magicians make something new to fall from the sky. They make oobleck, a sticky substance that is a liquid until it is squeezed, and then it becomes a solid. Once it is no longer squeezed, it turns back into a liquid. Dylan had a lot of fun making oobleck and playing with it. He predicted what it would look like, and described how it looked, felt, smelled and and sounded. We discussed the science of liquid vs solid. Dylan drew a picture of oobleck as a liquid and also as a solid. We brainstormed adjectives to describe oobleck. Dylan wanted to make a map of the Loxahatchee River. He researched on line to find pictures of fish and eels that he believed to be in the river. He drew a map and then pasted pictures of fish and eels onto the map. He was very pleased with the result.
