To all of moms, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful Mother’s Day this weekend!

For those of you who may have lost your Mom, or a child, my best friend was interviewed about coping with this day in the face of loss. May it be helpful to you and a good reminder to us all to appreciate every moment with our loved ones!

Our In STEPPS Academy students love hands on science!

Our students really enjoyed Science Friday! Watch as the colored drops sink down into the water and mix together creating a firework effect. Why is it so? It's to do with the density of each liquid. The food coloring will dissolve into the water, but the oil won't. By mixing the oil and food coloring together first, you slow the mixing process that would normally happen with the water and the food coloring. The food coloring drops down into the water (because it is denser than the oil) while the oil stays on top of the water (water is also denser than oil). When the food coloring eventually starts to mix with the water, it creates a tiny explosion, like a firework!

This month’s Saturday Social Facilitation Group was Winter Wonderland themed. We had a blast cooking snowy mountain bites, painting snow hats, constructing and decorating snowflakes, making pretend snow and working together to build a snowman! “
