At Home Projects, part 3

Today, we finished up our at home projects. We read "School Day Adventures", presented by Ava, "The Snow Tree", presented by Natalie, "The Adventures of Max the Minnow", presented by Quinton, and "Mrs. Claus Takes a Vacation", presented by Ethan.

WOW!!! What awesome books they picked. We have loved reading each one. Thank you for your hard work!

Pumpkin Play-Do

Today, we did a cooking activity: we made play do scented like pumpkins! The children had a blast and requested the recipe, so here it is:

Homemade Play-Do

1 c. flour

1/2 c. salt

1 T. cooking oil

1 T. cream of tartar

1 c. water

food coloring

*add ins-we used pumpkin pie spice

Stir ingredients into cooking pan. Mix well before heating up. Heat on medium heat. Stir until it forms a ball (it will pull away from the pan and look dry). Turn dough onto board and knead (I had to add extra flour because it was too sticky). Cool. Store in plastic container or sealed ziploc. It will keep longer if you will refrigerate it!

*add-ins- to add spices, start with 1 teaspoon; smell to see if that is enough, then add more. You can add glitter also-just a little at a time until you think you have enough.

Today, we enjoyed reading:

"Barkley", presented by Abigail, "5 Minute Bible Stories: Adam and Eve", presented by Jacob, "Tickle Monster", presented by Tom B and "The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who was in it", presented by Jayden. Some of us had never read these stories so it was exciting to hear these! Thank you for all of your hard work!!

At-Home Projects, part 1

Today, we enjoyed reading "Baby Farm Animals" presented by Sadie and "Froggy Plays T-Ball" presented by Jake. We LOVED these stories and can't wait to see what comes tomorrow. Thank you, Jake and Sadie for all of your hard work-you both did a wonderful job!!

Taylor's Greenhouse

We had a wonderful first field trip! The kids enjoyed looking at the plants and even the snake! We have some brave children in our class this year!

Columbus Day

Today, we talked about Christopher Columbus. We learned that he was born in Italy, but the King and Queen of Spain paid the way for him to set sail to the Indes by going a new route. And, they provided the 3 ships: Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. We made a hat of the 3 ships.

Fire Safety Week

Today, we had special visitors that came to teach about fire safety. And, they brought their firetruck! And, we got to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to drive! (I have a picture of everyone in the driver's seat but I will email them to the parents-blogger wouldn't let me upload that many for this post!)
