Well today I decided to do some activities with the jellybeans my friend sent me. We counted the jellybeans and separated them by color and then made a tally chart of how many jellybeans of each color we had. The kids were so excited and had so much fun.
As soon as I showed them the bag they got all excited and said-Wow-Jellybeans. Thanks to the Alligator's All Around story by Maurice Sendak my kids know exactly what a jellybean is. We have been talking about using our senses so the kids also investigated the jellbeans by using their senses such as touch,taste and smell. Thanks to my friend who sent them to me-they now know exactly what one looks like, smells like, feels like and taste like.
Then the kids finally got to taste them. They liked them and wanted more. They said they taste fruity and were chewy and not like anything they had ever had.
Some of the kids thought they were too sweet and some thought they were not sweet enough. One of my kids thought they were the best thing she ever tasted. When I asked the kids what they thought they said We Love Jellybeans.
Jellybeans are great teaching tools and my friend rocks for sending them to me-YAY!!!!
