Homework! Scented Play Dough

I hope you enjoyed our Play dough mats activity. For your first experiment you will have to make PLAY DOUGH. Watch the following tutorials to find out the ingredients and procedure. I usually make Play doh every month, therefore feel free to ask me questions. 

Recife has many cool stores that offer a variety of scents, food coloring, and even creme of tartar. Creme of tartar  (Cremor de tártaro)is not an essential ingredient but will make your Play dough last longer. You can find creme of tartar and food coloring at Kinitos. If you are allergic to food coloring , get creative and use spices such as: ginger, cinammon, nutmeg or cloves. I love to add real ginger slices or coconut shreds to my Play dough. I also get my scented oils at Farmacia Piramide. 

OBSERVATION: You do not have to follow my suggestions. You can add your own scents ( maybe you already have some scents at home). Sometimes I add strawberry or chocolate gelatin to my mixture. The brand Royal has many flavors to choose from. 

Have a blast!! This homework is due Monday 20/03/2017

Flipped learning-Homework : Community

What is a Community?

A community is a group of people living or working together in the same area. People in communities might go to the same schools, shop at the same stores and do the same things. They also help each other and solve problems together. If it's a bigger community, the people in it might not always go to the same places, but they might like or believe in the same things. Watch both videos and take notes in your PYP notebook. Answer the following question: What type of community is Recife most like?. Compare and Contrast Recife with a different community around the World. Give at least 10 examples to support your answer. Add labeled drawings!. Enjoy the videos, come prepared to discuss in class. 

Happy writing!
