Play Dough Recipe

A parent sent me this recipe for play dough and although I'd love to do this in class  it requires a stove (which we don't have). The kids absolutely love using play dough to make numbers, letters and words and would be so appreciative to have some for centers. If you could make some and bring it to class we'd love that! Thank you :)

Back to School Night Presentation

First week is done, we did it...yaaaay! I am so proud of my kiddos and how far they have come. First week is always important when it comes to setting the expectation for your classroom because it will set the tone for the rest of the school year. We practiced the rules (on a daily basis), we practiced classroom procedures all day long (how to sit at our table/carpet spot, how to put away items, how to use our white board markers, and many other routines) and of course we got to learn about each other. Please reinforce the following hand signals and rules: 

Hand Signals: (show me the number of fingers in the air)

2 fingers: restroom

Encourage your child to use the restroom before school, during recess, during lunch, during PE and after school.
