Spent a couple hours making "playdough" for 8th Grade ELA Point of View Makey-Makey project
Next week Mr. Shu (4 classes) and Ms Griffith (4 classes) will try making as part of their curriculum when they use Makey-Makeys, Scratch, "playdough", cardboard and students to create a Point of View activity. Because store-bought "playdough" is expensive and we have no Makerspace funds... (how do we fix that?) I bought the supplies and spent yesterday afternoon before trick-or-treating making, (hahahahaha- making to make!) "playdough" RECIPE here (click). Luckily, most of the ingredients are cheap, (39 cents per container of salt..), and I already had 2 jars of cream of tartar b/c I make a chocolate chip chiffon cake each year for my husband's birthday, (family tradition passed down from his wonderful mother, Jeanne). Will need more though for Ms Griffith's classes. So you can see I chose colors that will mix if the students decide to. Hope it's enough!! Will let you know how it goes - will try to remember to take pics - always forget when the process begins!
