Wacky Watermelon Time!

Friends~Down South it is getting HOT!  Nothing reminds me of summer like a hunk of watermelon:)  In class next week,  we will be working with watermelons for reading, writing, and math.  Check out some of the fun centers we will be using in room 331!

First,  in my Science Center my students will examine a slice of watermelon and locate the parts. Did you know all parts of the watermelon are eatable?  I have a poster mounted for them to refer to.  
Of course they get to eat their sweet snack too!  

Next, they will practice their dialogue with watermelon seed quotation marks! 
I know that a favorite will be our Working With Words center!  I am adding in my watermelon play dough for my students to practice their sight words!
I am pretty sure our room will smell super yummy!

  3. Love the watermelon play dough. I had additions sheets for my kiddos where they had to add up the "seeds" on each half of the watermelon to find the sum. Just thought I'd share! :) Renee
