Davis Elementary School Garden: Spring is Coming!

Spring is Coming!

Spring is almost here and soon we will all be back at school and can begin working in our beautiful Davis garden once again! Last year due to the construction at Davis the garden wasn't accessible but this spring we have a dedicated group of parent volunteers who are excited to help us clean out the beds and get them ready for our eager gardeners to get planting!
Tasks parents will help us with are: clean out the classroom garden beds if teachers want help, clean up the paths in and around the beds, clean up around the garden's fence inside and out to make it easy for kids to do some planting and anything else we need to do to get ready.
I'll try and keep you updated on our spring garden progress so stay tuned to our blog!

Today's Nature Idea-Make Huge Bubbles!

Ingredients

· 6 cups water (distilled is best but tap water is fine)

· 1/2 cup blue Dawn dish detergent I used “ultra concentrated”, but Dawn original is even better.

· 1/2 cup corn starch

· 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda)

· 1 tbsp Glycerine

You will also need a giant bubble wand.

HOMEMADE GIANT BUBBLE RECIPE

1. Dissolve Cornstarch-Dissolve cornstarch in the water, stirring really well.

2. Add Remaining Ingredients-Stir in the rest of the ingredients, being very careful not to create a lot of froth.

3. Let it Sit-Allow your bubble mixture to sit for at least an hour before using, stirring occasionally when you see the cornstarch settling to the bottom.

Note: Some of the cornstarch won’t dissolve completely and may even settle to the bottom when you’re using your bubble mixture, but it won’t affect the quality of your bubbles.

HOW TO MAKE A GIANT BUBBLE WAND:

I used two drinking straws, and a length of yarn that was 6 to 8 times longer than the length of one straw. Thread the yarn through the straws, tie a knot, and you’re good to go!
