My Brother Came!!

So my little brother is a Professional Motocross Champion! He has been racing since he was 3 years old and turned Pro last year!!! Since our school theme is Racing to Excellence, my VP and I thought it would be a great idea for him to come talk to my entire school(800 kids) about goal setting, being a good role model, safety, and overcoming obstacles. Well he was a hit!! He rode in on his dirt bike, and the kids went crazy! AND yes I did get a little teary eyed! I was just so proud of him, as well as seeing the reaction of the kiddos! I was like "That's my brother!!" :) He did a fabulous job talking to them and even gave away signed posters, goggles, AND A HELMET! He was an inspiration to a ton of kiddos and I am so proud to be his sister!

Witch's Brew!

So for a Halloween themed treat for my kiddos, we decided to do a little science experiment! They got to make their own Witch's Brew! It was so fun to see how excited they were! So I got all of the materials together: Clear pie pan, water, vinegar, red, blue, green, and yellow food coloring, baking soda, pipe cleaner, and oil. I read the story about some witches making a brew and all of the ingredients that they put in. They put in snakes (Pipe Cleaner), fish eyes (oil), blood from a dead bat (Red food coloring), and some more creepy things. When they were finished putting all of their ingredients into the pre-made water/vinegar mixture, I went around and put a spoonful of baking soda in their bowls. This makes it fizz and bubble. The kids freaked out! They thought it was the coolest thing ever! They got to wear goggles and practice safety in a lab atmosphere! SUPER FUN and SUPER EASY!
