The "Creative" activity for Monday April 27th!

Write a letter to your future self.  You can choose how far into the future.
​

What are some of the things you're learning about yourself right now that you want to make sure your future self remembers?  What does your day to day life look like?  Who is important in your world right now? What's your favorite music?  What are you hoping your future self will be doing? What are some things that you want to make sure your future self is NOT doing?

It doesn't have to be long and it certainly doesn't have to be formal!

Do you actually want to send it to yourself by email?  You can use this website

The "Creative" activity for Monday April 13th!
Make some fluffy slime!

https://littlebinsforlittlehands.com/make-saline-solution-fluffy-slime/
  • 1/2 Cup of White Washable PVA School Glue
  • 3 Cups of Foaming Shaving Cream
  • 1/4-1/2 Tsp of Baking Soda
  • Food Coloring
  • 1 Tbsp of Saline Solution ( contains both sodium borate and boric acid as ingredients)
  • Bowl, Spoon, Measuring Cups and Spoons
*SLIME SAFETY: Slime is a chemistry experiment and should be treated with respect. Do not substitute slime ingredients and do not change our recipes. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing disposable gloves.
I definitely like to call this whipping up slime because of how fluffy it is!
  • Measure 3-4 heaping cups of shaving cream into a bowl. You can also experiment with using less shaving cream for different textures!
  • Add color! We used neon food coloring, but there are so many choices!
  • Next, add a 1/2 cup of glue to the shaving cream and mix.
  • Add 1/2 tsp of baking soda and mix.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the saline solution to the mixture and start whipping!
  • Once you get the mixture thoroughly whipped and incorporated, you can pull it out
