Oobleck and Leap Day!

Today we listened to Bartholomew and the Oobleck  made Oobleck with Ms. Dyer.  It is a mixture of cornstarch and water (food coloring can be added, but can/will stain clothing).  If you want to make some at home don't put it in the drain when you are finished unless you want to have a visit from the plumber.  If you would like the recipe, most sites use this recipe:
- 1 cup water
- 1.5-2 cups corn starch
- a few drops of food coloring of your choice

Our other readers today included Mrs. Stephanie Gardner and Mrs. Diane Hutchinson.  Again thank you to all readers.

We have also gotten some students on the iPod Touch.  Thanks to an iTunes gift card I was able to get all students access to Teach Me First Grade.  A number of students had a chance to try it out today.  I can't wait to get some more students trying it out tomorrow.
