Happy Holidays!

SEE YOU ALL ON JANUARY 3RD!



TODAY'S ACTIVITY
"Bubble Gum Soup" for breakfast! We made a beautiful batch of bright pink "flubber". Especially fun was having the students stir the "soup" while adding a solution that made parts of it coagulate and stick to the spoon. The messiness of the whole process was only eclipsed by the roars of laughter at my mock surprise that they snuck snakes, worms and other slimy things into the mix. So fun.

TODAY'S STORY
Blue Rabbit And The Runaway Wheel, by Christopher Wormell. In our last story, Blue Rabbit set off on a bicycle looking for adventure. He was so busy looking for adventure that he didn't look where he was going. He hit a rock and lost the wheel to his bike. Chasing it unveiled a series of misfortunes caused by his recklessness: Squirrel's house was knocked down; Badger was taking an unwanted mud bath; and Turtle was upended. Imagine their surprise when they followed the wheel's muddy trail back to the scene of the accident. Blue Rabbit hastily put the wheel back in place and rode away in short order.
