You're invited to learn about making play dough! We will make play dough together and discuss why each ingredient is important. We will laugh, play and experiment together. Giggles and fun are welcome while we learn about squishy play dough, moldy food and the purpose of oil! We will make new friends and use our imaginations to make play dough sculptures! We will start class by meeting each other at a virtual bus stop then taking the bus to our virtual school. All virtual school features provided by the teacher, learners only need to join the zoom meeting as usual. The teacher will welcome each learner and get to know them. After making sure everyone is comfortable and ready to learn the teacher will guide students through the process of making play dough. Materials are listed below! After successfully making play dough we will learn the purpose of each ingredient while creating fun sculptures! After we complete the recipe and lesson, students will pretend to travel home on the virtual bus together. Following Montessori principles, students will be encouraged to feel proud of themselves and will be praised for their effort. Optional printable play dough mats will be provided to enrich learning after class. The Friendship Haven classroom is welcoming, positive and social. Our goal is for your child to gain the skills required for lifetime of self-guided learning. As they show interest in different things around them, we will guide their curiosity with fun education. In the virtual classroom we use components of a Montessori school by finding common household objects to nurture engagement and understanding during class. Our pace and lessons will vary depending on the needs of each student and the class as a whole. Parents, We'd love to work together to make sure your child is accommodated in our classroom if required. Please reach out and we can make a plan together! ESL students are always welcome to join the fun ☺️
