"Slush-y" Science

Congrats to Jan, the winner of the completely *huge* giveaway!  Jan, check your inbox for bunches of goodies.  :)

Yesterday was a good day.  I taught my favorite Science lesson 2 times.  Here are the pics from "Slush-y" Science:
 2 cups of ice in a large ziplock bag...

 add a sprinkle of rock salt...
 drop in a small ziplock bag of fruit punch...

 and gently shake!
What fun!!  Last step - remove the small bag, put a straw in the small bag of slushy punch, and enjoy!  We already knew that fruit punch would freeze if you added ice, but today we learned that the rock salt keeps the fruit punch from turning into a popsicle!  :)

Make and Take Literacy Night = Fun Parent Involvement

The ultimate goal of literacy is to help students become life-long readers, so they can be educated citizens. The child's first and most influential teacher is their parent and/or guardian. With that in mind, it is crucial to give families the tools they need to help this child, as well as other children in the household. {Here's a link to an article from The Atlantic:  How Family Game Night Makes Kids Into Better Students } I love to invite families to school for Literacy Night. I've helped organize, prepare, and lead Literacy Nights at least 8 times over the course of my teaching career, and I plan to continue this for years to come.
