images1.jpg The Student Council was giving out ice cream cones at school to kids that have never missed a day of school…and there were lots of kids! I think I scooped about a hundred or more scoops of ice cream…but none for me. I missed three days this year because I was sick…what about you? Did you miss any? If you didn’t– go and get yourself an ice cream cone and pat yourself on the back- congratulations to you! Valentina

Bubble UP

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

When it comes to blowing bubbles…bigger is better! Here’s a recipe for you to play with during the summer months to blow your own HUGE bubbles:

  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups Joy dishwashing soap (If using an ultra concentrated dishwashing liquid, use only 1 1/3 cups)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl (at least 3 quarts) stir water and corn syrup until combined.
  2. Add dishwashing liquid and stir very gently until well mixed. (Try not to make any bubbles in your mix.)
  3. Dip (don’t stir) bubble wands into bubble liquid and blow bubbles. Even a hula hoop can be the perfect wand (this one was covered with yarn to keep it dry when dipping=bigger bubbles!)
