Salt Dough Recipe - from Miss Chung

2 c flour
1 c salt
1 c water
(I also added liquid watercolor and a little extra flour to give the dough color but you could also use pastry dye or just paint the white dough after it dries.)

Mix the flour and salt first, then add water and mix, knead until desired consistency of dough is formed.  You can stick the dough to paper or cardboard when wet and elastic.  Dries in 48 hours but be warned, dried salt dough can be brittle and easy to break.

Have fun!   Great for use with 'perla' beads (or any kind of beads really!)

Notes to Learn! - First Grade with Mr Aranow

For music theory in First Grade this week, the class is learning the symbols for the

Quarter note, Eighth Note, Eighth Notes (connected by a 'bar') & the Quarter Rest.

The kiddo's are learning how to write the notes, and how to use Rhythm Reading Syllables to read-aloud the notes with rhythm.  For example, 1/4 note "ta" (tah) & 1/8th note "ti" (tee).

Class is working hard, what great concentration First Grade!

P.E. Focus on Safety - Be Nice - Be Safe - Have Fun!

For the first week of a new Specials Rotation the focus is on safety and team building in PE with Mr Parker, so the kiddo's learn to keep each other safe while having fun as well as learning great skills! 

Three Simple Rules.

Students having fun while also learning appropriate 'tagging' behavior,  taking care not to play too rough and hurt and each other, practicing looking where they are running and avoiding collisions.  OR in other words  it's "TAG" not "THWACK"!

Wonderful Self-portraits by Kinder!

K students get creative with their self-portraits.
