We made slime with our mentors! "You need two things: polyvinyl alcohol (a main ingredient in washable school glue) and borate ion (which we got in contact lens solution). In the chemical reaction that follows slime is created.
Slime is a Non-Newtonian fluid which means that its viscosity can change. When the students pull it apart abruptly it will break but pulled slowly it will stretch." (taken from "The Science Behind Slime"by Dana Abraham 2014
 Everyone took a bag home. Should you need to dissolve it, vinegar will work. Students added color if the chose, glitter if they wanted. It was a fabulous day of scientific discovery and artistic creation.



                                           

 The Bumblees had a wonderful time at the Snowflake Breakfast today! They used their polite manners and enjoyed delicious foods provided by all the Seabury families. Then they sang out loud in the sing-a-long. We were very proud of their patience, kindness and polite behavior as they shared a very special morning with their lower school friends. Thanks so much to all the parents who participated, donating food and drink, plates and napkins, griddles and time!

 On First Friday our friends from the middle school invited the Bumblebees to listen to a story about Picasso's dog and then try to create a face or a dog in Picasso's abstract style. After the creations were complete the middle school partners helped make up and write a dialogue between the two characters. Some were pretty funny!!
