This week, Miss Carrie told us that her favorite snack is popcorn.  She loves to make popcorn at home or have popcorn at the movie theater.  Some people make popcorn in the microwave and some make it on top of the stove.  Popcorn seeds are hard.  They have to have heat to pop into popcorn.  We read a book that showed people eating popcorn, what corn looks like when it is growing, and how to make it.

Then Miss Carrie taught us the popcorn song.  We started by singing quietly, then we sang louder. Miss Carrie sang first and we sang it after her.
