Curriculum Night was a great success!

Thanks to all the families that participated Wednesday night.

 Bubbles in silly putty

The children were very excited to show their families all the different ways to make bubbles in the silly putty. They also came up with new ways to make bubbles. 

 Imprinting

The children showed their parents how to create imprints in the playdough. The parents and the children discovered that each item made multiple imprints.

Kool - Aid Playdough Recipe

1 cup flour

1/4 cup salt

2 TBS cream of tartar

1 pkg Kool aid (generic brands don't work)

1 cup water

1 TBS vegetable oil

In a saucepan, mix all dry ingredients. In a small bowl, mix the water and the kool-aid. (We like to warm the water so the kool-aid dissolves) Stir the mixture over medium heat for three to five minutes until the dough forms a ball in the pan. Knead the dough on a floured surface for one minute. Once the play dough has cooled, it is ready to use! If stored in an air tight container, it should last for several weeks.

 Ramps

The families also explored the ramp with various objects. The children compared objects to discover if they moved faster rolling or sliding. The children also tested two similar objects of different sizes and weights to see which reached the bottom first.
