FUN FRIDAY

What a GREAT day we had today. This morning we had a wonderful writer's workshop and then onto finishing up Daily 5 MUST Do's from the week!  And then we had a special surprise...we flip flopped our day and did science this morning!  EXPERIMENT DAY!  Let's see what happens when we put some milk, sugar and vanilla in a bag. We all noticed it was a liquid.  Then we put that bag in a bigger bag with some rock salt and ice!  

Many predicted the liquid would freeze! So we took these bags outside....and we shook them for about 10 minutes (or like 40 hours as some said)! Guess what our prediction was RIGHT that liquid did turn to a semi solid.  THEN we got to TASTE it...YUMMMO ICE CREAM! 

(I have videos of a lot of what we did today however, it is my night with my mom so I'm going to post some pictures and get going! I will work on videos later!)

Anna and Demi look as if they are having fun!  Anna said her hands were about to turn PURPLE!

SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE Kent!

YUMMO time to TASTE for Emily and Paeton!

Thatcher and Logan wanted MORE!

ICE CREAM
I promised I would post the recipe:
Each "serving" will need:

• 1/2 cup of milk (we used whole)
• 1 tsp of sugar
• 1/4 tsp of vanilla
• 6 cups of ice
• 1 cup of Rock Salt
• 2 quart size ziplock baggies
• 2 gallon size ziplock baggies (can be replaced with large coffee cans)
• spoons

In one of the small baggies measure out the milk, vanilla and sugar. SEAL the baggie.  Put it into the other small baggie and seal!

In the large baggie put the rock salt and ice and the small baggies.  Seal the baggie. Put it into the other large baggie and seal! SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE for about 10 minutes.  Check to see if the liquid has changed to a solid. If so...ENJOY...if not seal everything up and keep shaking! 

TOP DOG

Kreston has been a wonderful TOP DOG!  We were especially lucky to have his grandmother, all the way from Michigan, here to read to us during his special week! 

On Tuesday Kreston brought in his book...

I wasn't here but it looks as if he was enjoying reading to the class! Way to go BUDDY!

Thursday we read his poem: 

K is for his kindness

                 which fills all of his days

R is for respect

                  for all his chivalrous ways

E is for his excellence

                  Kreston is a great boy, and a great brother, and a great son,

                   And one day, Kreston will be an excellent man

S is for his smile

                   because he always thinks he can

T is for the trickster

                    which gives him so much glee

O is for outgoing

                     for he never dwells on "me"

N is for his noise

                     for he truly is all boy!

Mom and Dad love you Kreston! You are amazing!

Friday was a BIG day!

Kreston had his mom come and eat with him! 

She even brought a HOT DOG from Sonic! MMMMMmmm we all know Kreston likes hot dogs! 

And then Kreston shared some of his "freinds" with us!  Thanks for letting us get to know you a little better Kreston!
