4th and 5th of September

The highlight of Tuesday morning was making play dough. It had been so long since we made it that all the tools felt new and exciting to everyone. They played creatively, shaping things and telling stories for 30-45 minutes. So lovely to sit back and watch.

Remember how easy it is?
2 cups flour + 1/2 cup salt

add
1 cup very hot tap water
and (opt) 1 tbsp oil

Stir it, knead it, love it

 Another fun bug visitor today: a curious praying mantis. I discovered him crawling up the inside of my pant leg while washing dishes. He crawled all over the classroom this afternoon, stopping to  look at the children quite often.
