We went to the kitchen today to make playdough.
We discussed how we made it:

                      1.) Get water
                      2.) Put flour in
                      3.) Salt
                      4.) Colors
                      5.) Cream of tartar and oil
            We stirred it. We put it on the stove.

The discovery of clipboards

As friends were building in the block area, they noticed the clipboards that were available. The
children began writing and drawing. Another group discovered the clipboards in other areas of 
the room.

         "I want to write dad." - RJ
After writing Dad, RJ commented, "That's it."
