Red

Last week we learned all about the color red.  We talked about things that were normally red.  We searched around the room for things that we red.  We did a red circle map, and we ended the week by making red playdough!  We had so much fun with our first "cooking" experience with this class.  The kids learned all about what a recipe was and how to follow it.  When we were finished we had some nice, soft playdough to do some fine motor activities with.  We plan to do many other fun cooking activities with our students.

 Recipe for playdough: 2 cups of flour,

 1 cup of salt,

 2 cups of water,

 2 tablespoons of oil,

 4 teaspoons of cream of tarter and color and scent of your choice.

 Stir over heat until it forms into dough, then knead on a flat surface.

 Tada!  We have red playdough!

 We used cherry jello mix to make our playdough smell sweet!

We had such a great time celebrating "Red Week"!
