Bringing Books to Life in Kindergarten

We have been having so much fun pulling the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory out of the pages of the book and into our classroom.  We are changing our room gradually into the chocolate factory, and also weaving skills development into our play.  There is a collective excitement around this emergent study, and the children are participating with enthusiasm in all of our activities connected to this theme. Learning is always deeper when accompanied by great joy.

What would you invent in your factory?
Making our inventions
Building and painting our factory machines
A magnatile chocolate factory

Wonka Math - Number bingo with M & M‘s and Wonka addition and subtraction word problems
Wonka science with dissolving skittles
... and to balance it all out, discussions about the importance of healthy eating and some fun graphing activities…
