I'm Trying to Love Farts

This nonfiction read aloud sparked instant intrigue in my classroom. “I’m Trying to Love Farts”by Bethany Barton uses humour to deliver real science, and my students leaned all the way in. What stayed with me most was the language. Children confidently using new words like flatulence, asking thoughtful questions, and explaining ideas with precision. A reminder that curiosity, humour, and strong informational texts can deepen vocabulary and understanding in powerful ways.
