“Seashell Painting”: Everyone likes to go to the beach in the summer and collect seashells. Today, we painted seashells with watercolors and glitter glue. It was amazing how different our painted seashells looked. We also worked on taking over group responsibilities during art, e.g., handing out the water brushes to our friends, cleaning up the art supplies.
Volcano: This was our favorite activity of the day. We could not believe how long we got our "lava" to flow.
- First, we took turns filling the bottom of a medium-sized paper cup with baking soda. We filled the cup approximately 2/3 with baking soda.
- Then, we added red Kool-aid powder and mixed it into the baking soda.
- We attached a second medium-sized paper cup with a pre-cut hole (approximately the size of a dime) upside down over the paper cup with baking soda. We had to make sure that the cups were taped together securely. Therefore, we used strong clear packaging tape.
- Last, we took turns pouring vinegar with the help of an empty yogurt cup into the hole. We had to pour really slowly. It was very exciting to watch the "lava" come up through the hole. We just had to make sure not to get too close to the hole so the vinegar would not get into our eyes since everyone knows volcanoes can be dangerous.
Everyone did a fantastic job waiting his or her turn and we were also very proud of our great teamwork.
