Happy Fourth ofJuly 

One nation, under God.


 

Read, Read, Read!!!

Reading is very important and helps you improve in reading, spelling, writing, and even English! Reading gives you lots of knowledge, too! So I ask that you all read from a chapter book at least 20 minutes a day throughout the summer! If you need any ideas for chapter books to read, please ask me and I’ll help you find some really good ones!!

Fluffy Slime

Ingredients

1/2 cup white glue

1 1/2 cups foam shaving cream(not gel)

2 1/2 tablespoons contact solution

Food coloring(may stain so be careful)

(I got everything at Dollar Tree)

Put glue in a bowl. You can add a couple of drops of food coloring to the glue if you want, but it can stain. Next add shaving cream and mix gently. Finally add the contact solution a little bit at a time. Stir until slime doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl. Finally mix with your hands until combined and not sticky.

Regular Slime

1/4 cup glue

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon contact solution

Food coloring if you want color

Add glue and food coloring to a cup and mix. Then add baking soda and mix well. Finally add contact solution and mix again. Remove slime from cup and play!

Mrs. Hanley - Grade 3   Color Wheel

Hi Everyone! 

I am challenging you to create a color wheel using objects from around your house! I am asking that you use at least 20 items in total. Above is an example of the project that I did at my house and a color wheel. Be creative! Use things from socks to candles, to food, to anything you can see! Arrange each item into a circle keeping all the colors together like a real scientific color wheel! Watch my video below of me making a color wheel!
