After weeks of testing the popcorn, we finally went into the kid kitchen and cleaned the microwave with vinegar and water, we let it steam up and then wiped it clean with sponges.
Waiting for our mixture of H2O and Vinegar was difficult. We all got to push the 1 minute button..... more than once. It started to bubble! We let it boil for about a minute and then we turned it off and started the timer on the ipad. We set it for 5 minutes and waited. When the timer went off, we opened the microwave and wiped it out! It was clean!!
We then went to tell Ms. Katie, because she wanted to video tape it. Finally we went to get the rest of the Acorns for the special even!
The excitement when the first kernel popped was pure JOY. Everyone was very excited!
We then went back to the classroom to try our popcorn for the first time. Everyone sat on the carpet and made their "shirt" bowl (this is what we do when we are out and about having snack in the forest or at the train). We then took our first bite. The sound was crunchie. Crunches coming from everywhere. There is nothing like freshly cooked popcorn off the corn cobb. The acorns highly recommend planting it in the spring for a fall harvest and snack.
