Rainy Day Blues

However, Ms. Margie and Toffee found a way to beat these rainy day blues! 

This activity is so easy to create just from some materials you may have at home! Ms. Margie was able to use some extra salt she had in her cabinet, but you could use a number of different things to draw in. You could try sand, shaving cream, or even dry rice!

If you want to use rice, and have a lot of it to spare, you can even dye the rice! In the beginning of the year our kids from the afternoon class helped dye the rice different colors using a little bit of rubbing alcohol and some food coloring!

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
