Missing my Monkeys

I am so sad that I had to start mid September at a brand new school. What a connection you make with your students and parents those first few weeks, its so hard to then say good-bye. I miss my little monkeys...

We have had a great first week of school together in grade 1, I can't believe its the second week already! I am so lucky to have such an amazing group of "monkeys" in my jungle.

We are all friends

We are hard workers

We are proud of our accomplishments

We work together

We can work all by ourselves

We like learning new things

We LOVE to play

Grade 1 is so much fun !!!!!!

 

Play Time

I just found the best playdough recipe EVER, so I thought I would share. This dough will last a long time, stay soft and it smells great too!

Ingredients:

1 pkg (3 oz.) of jello

2 cups of flour (make sure it is not less, then it will be sticky)

1 cup of salt

4 tbsp of cream of tartar (If you have no idea what this is, like me, look at the picture above. You can find it in the spices isle)

2 cups of boiling water

2 tsp of oil

food colouring (if desired)

Directions:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a sauce pan

2. Add boiling water, oil (food colouring, enough to reach desired colour)

3. Stir continuously over medium heat, till it forms a ball like shape

4. Remove from pan and kneed (if sticky add more flour)

5. You can even add sparkles too!

6. Seal in an airtight container and place it in the fridge

YOU ARE DONE, let it cool, then it's time to play!!!!!!!
