Just Play!

I get tired of hearing the word "just" because to me, 
the word "just" is so limiting, and I'm all about possibilities........

It has that lovely (insert sarcasm here) connotation that 
whatever comes after is has less value.

Like, I'm just a teacher
They're just playing

When in most circumstances, that is far from the truth. 

Today, we are too busy playing.
(notice I didn't say JUST) 
to post much more for you


BUT....

Today we are soooo busy playing and learning, inside and out. The weather here is gorgeous!
People who say "I'm just a teacher" probably do so because they don't feel valued by society as doing important work, which is evident by the monetary compensation received. Thank goodness we teachers value the non-monetary compensation we receive from the children-the looks of joy and pride on their faces when they figure something out or accomplish something new. What a privilege it is to share those feelings with them!

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

By
Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these. If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Making Moon Mud!

By
We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
