Chemical Reaction Experiment












I got this idea from Pinterest, you put baking soda in a dish and then color some white vinegar with food coloring. Take a medicine dropper and squirt the vinegar into the baking soda and fizzes. Lots of fun for the boys, kept them busy for a while. Then we did some sensory play and practiced writing letters with our fingers once the baking soda got all muddy. Killed 2 birds with one stone! :)

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
Read an interview with one of the authors, Dan Kindlon, PH.D. here.
