The photos include, beginning at
top, a collage of the July 26, Session 5 activity, making Frozen clay. Participants
first unrolled a roll of toilet paper, placed it in a bowl and mixed in one bar
of shredded Ivory soap. Helpers poured warm, blue-colored water into the
mix, and the children squished and kneaded the mixture until a clay
formed. At the end of the session, they were challenged to take
the clay home, make a sculpture and bring it for sharing the next week.
Pictured in the second photo, are those who met the challenge and created
sculptures. Each sculpture was awarded a rosette extolling its creative
merits.
The last summer reading activity - making
Elephant's Toothpaste ! In the next four photos, children watch as their
mixtures of hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, and dissolved yeast
create large spirals of colorful toothpaste.
Finally, it was time to present the
t-shirts and certificates to those who met their reading goals for the 6-week
summer reading program. First, however, volunteers, without whose
help the reading program could not have been such a great
success, received certificates of appreciation and t-shirts. Pictured
with the librarian, MaryLee Blackford, are Barbara Lange, Linda Rau, Judie
McCaulou, and Laura Carlock.
Volunteers not present are Norma Hyde and John Nunez. John generously gave of his time to
gather materials needed for some of the activities.
