Play Dough





Today in class we made play dough. We made them fragrant by adding some cinnamon and all-spice to it. This project practiced measuring, and teamwork, it was also a lot of fun!

Here is the recipie for the play dough if you would like to make some at home.

Fool Proof Play Dough:

2 cups of All Purpose Flour
1 cup of Salt
4 Tsp. of Cream of Tarter
2 Tbs. of Oil
1 cup of Warm Water
Desired Color

Put everything from the first section into a large bowl. Mix together with your hands! Smooshing the mixture between your fingers is the best way to mix the ingredients. Remember to scrape the edges and add them to the dough until it is all mixed together. If it is too sticky, add a little flour and if it is too dry, add a little water.

Welcome back Teacher Debbie! Teacher Debbie is back after a long recovery, and we are glad she is here. Teacher Kate and Teacher Debbie will be co-teaching the preschool room. Stay tuned for more information.

International Potluck! This year the preschool class will be doing an international potluck, on Wednesday Nov. 24 at 11:30. Please bring in a traditional family dish to share with the rest of our class. Parents are welcome to join us in this celebration, and if parents are not able to attend they are welcome to still send a dish with their child. If your child does not usually attend on Wednesday you are still invited to join us for lunch. Please make a note if your dish contains milk, peanuts, or shellfish, as we have allergies in our class.
