Directions:

1. Spray pan with cooking spray, and heat over low heat.

2. Pour flour, salt, and cream of tartar into pan.

3. Add cooking oil.

4. Mix food coloring and water in a bowl.  Add to pan.

5. Stir ingredients until the mixture becomes a ball.

6. Place dough on wax paper to cool.

7. PLAY!

8. Store playdough in a sealed container, and it will last for months!

Welcome 2009-2010 Families!

I am excited to be gearing up for another great school year!  I look forward to meeting you all at our Popsicle Party on Friday, August 21st from 11:00 - 12:00.  Our classroom is H-123.  You may bring your school supplies then or on the first day of school.  If you need a copy of the supply list, it is available in the documents section.

Please feel free to look back at some of the old posts from last school year to get a preview of some of the activities we have planned for this year.  

Our class mascot this year will be Spot the Dog. There are lots of great books written about Spot by Eric Hill. Check out Spot's website at: http://www.funwithspot.com/house.asp?locale=US
