| The first day of school is totally
chaotic, so this year I decided to take it easy. We SLOWLY
went through the daily things. We talked a lot, learned about
the basic classroom procedures, had our morning meeting and listened
to stories.
The *special* part of the day was the
Magic Play-doh! All the children got a ball of white play-doh
and I told them that if it changed color as they played with it,
then they would have a great year! Of course, everyone's play-doh
changed color and they were all thrilled that they were going to
have a great year!
I just used a generic homemade play-doh
recipe that I found on the internet and then when it was cooled, I
made a shallow hole in the middle and put a few drops of food
coloring it it. Then, I carefully covered the hole with more
play-doh and put the play-doh in a ziploc bag. Be careful with
the play-doh because if it gets crushed in your bag, then the color
will start to bleed and some of the *magic* will be lost!
