I love thinking of different ways of how to help the children understand "describing words." I found some yummy, pink, heart marshmallows and I thought they would be the perfect item to explore and describe. We even talked about our five senses that we could use to observe the marshmallow. I started by making a "bubble map" made out of hearts to describe the marshmallow. I passed out one marshmallow to each child and we shared what we noticed about them.
Here is the yummy marshmallow that I found at Target.
Class Bubble Map
Once we made our bubble map as a class, I gave each child their own copy to to fill in independently. They were allowed to use the class model to spell the words.
