Good Afternoon!

**Just a reminder that conference forms (pre-conference AND conference time preference) are due tomorrow (Friday, January 26th). Thank you!

Miss Melinda called everyone to the reading area this morning. She brought in an article that talked about ‘potty duck’ and it’s creator.

First, Miss Melinda asked what a newspaper is for and Lucy said, “It shares information!”. This lead us to share our memories of taking potty duck home.

Later on in the morning, several children gathered at the island to help make play dough. Before we added the ingredients, we took a vote to see what two colors of play dough we would make. Each child got to vote on one color and after we all gave our answers, we tallied up the votes. Friends were shown and told what tally marks look like and what they’re used for. Once we tallied each color, we had two winners: purple and orange!

Each child had the opportunity to help add an ingredient or stir the mixture once all of the ingredients were added. A few friends stayed at the island to watch as I mixed it on the stove. After it cooled down, we were able to test our work.

Pizza. Police Officer. Trash can. Just a few of the items that we made with our new play dough.

Breakfast– Nature’s Path Organic Maple Pecan Crunch and PPC pears/banana.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef and cheese, PPC banana, and PPC cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Roasted chick peas and goldfish.

Wee Sprout– PPC cherry tomatoes.

Have a great evening.
