FRIDAY APRIL 8,2011

Today in the Preschool room we went to story hour at the library. Mrs. Sara read stories about camping and hiking! There was also a special guest who came to talk about hiking. She had a bag full of all the things you would need to bring while hiking in the woods. She had glasses, a water bottle, lights and a compass. The children really enjoyed looking in her bag. We also checked out books about bunnies and eggs.

In the morning we  made pink play dough for next week. All the children helped mix it together and find all the indigents.
Here is the recipe to make play dough if you would like to do it at home.
1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
1/4 cup if salt
2 tablespoons of oil
Blend all together in a saucepan.
Cook on stove top until dough becomes harder. Medium heat.
 Then let cool on alumina foil.



This afternoon we will be decorating paper eggs to hang from our ceiling as next week our theme will be about eggs.
