Prairie Trace Elementary


Kid’s Concoctions

What can you do with flour, salt, bread, coffee, kool-aid, paint, food coloring, oats and more? You can come to Kid’s Concoctions and make the most interesting dough known to man. In this club, students can create dough that does not come pre-packaged in the store.

They will take every day house hold ingredients that they may use from time to time and never know that they could possibly create dough that will look and smell like anything else they have ever played with before. Once they create the dough using interesting ingredients, the students can create a work of art that will dry over night and that they can keep forever.

Here is just one of the many dough recipes that will be created in this club: Cornmeal Dough: 1 c Flour, 1 c Cornmeal, 1 c Salt, 1 c Water. Mix all ingredients together. Add more water to make the mixture cling. This dough will keep up to six weeks in an airtight container. We hope that you will come to this very special club where it’s ok to get messy!

ESE Deal or No Deal

Ever wanted to play the TV game show Deal or No Deal? Think that you can do better than the people on TV? Well, then you should come to PT ESE, so you can experience the excitement for yourself. The central game of Deal or No Deal involves a contestant, (all of the students who come to the club), a banker (Mr. Maarouf), and a host/presenter who acts as Master of ceremonies for the game (Mrs. Vang).

The game revolves around the opening of a set of numbered briefcases, each of which contains a different prize (cash or otherwise). The contents of all of the cases are known at the start of the game, but the specific location of any prize is unknown. The value of each of the cases is indicated by a label or card sealed within it. Sometimes the prize is a twizzler or sometimes the prize could be a certain amount of ESE money. The students have to work together as a team to decide what briefcases to open and if they should accept the bankers deal or not. The game is growing in popularity every week. Don’t be left behind in the best way to have fun with your friends and earn some ESE money.
