Curious Creatures!
Here's Angela with a tree frog. They are sticky! |
Ahh! the snake is headed right towards Yutong and Julie, but it knows not to go past the rope. |
Wow these boys are brave! |
Here are the students with Curious Creatures! We learned about animals, what they eat and where they live. The students had an opportunity to interact with them. Even the snakes!!

Make Your Own Playdough
Kids love Playdough! and it is great for building dexterity. Here is a recipe I have used with some success (although a little sticky). Do you have a great Playdough recipe? Feel free to post recipes that have worked for you:
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup cornstarch
Mix with a fork until smooth. Boil over medium heat until thick. Spoon onto plate or wax paper.
