It also conveniently covers the content areas of science, math, health, and social studies. Happy Snow Cream making!!<br /><br />Sandy's Old-time Snow Cream Recipe<br />From: Yary Hluchan<br />Basic Recipe<br />1 cup milk<br />1/2 cup sugar<br />scant 1/2 teaspoon vanilla<br />large bowl of snow (about 3 quarts)<br />Blend milk, sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough snow to make snow cream to an ice cream consistency.<br />Variations - There are many variations for snow cream. For example, substitute canned cream for milk for a heavier flavor. Add Nestles Quik for a chocolate snow cream, or use instant cocoa mix. Another variation is to add plump raisins and cinnamon, or add a beaten egg for a nog taste. Puree an overripe banana and add to the mixture. Get creative - you know your family's tastes.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3045/1605/1600/869805/1winter_02-thumb.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3045/1605/320/901932/1winter_02-thumb.jpg" border="0" /></a>Note: ALWAYS - ALWAYS make sure the snow is clean. It takes at least one<br />to two hours for snow to clean the pollutants from the air, then use only snow that has fallen after that first cleansing snow. It also goes without saying, but I will anyway, to make sure you do not collect the snow where animals and birds eat (or do other things). Cleanliness first. Stress that with the kids, because this is a treat even the younger ones can make for the whole family.<br /><br />Thanks to Sarah Wiemero, guest bloggerJanethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01981669869593122038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16805000.post-1165534881031859962006-12-07T17:28:00.000-06:002006-12-07T17:43:09.316-06:00Science Fair Ideas and BrainPOP<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3045/1605/1600/573996/TN_P3119393cdW.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3045/1605/320/997042/TN_P3119393cdW.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Science Fair ideas</span><br />There’s this great website (<a href="http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/">www.all-science-fair-projects.com</a>) that has over 500 free science fair ideas for kids from elementary school all the way through high school.<span style=""> </span>The website is <i style="">free</i> and easy to use.<span style=""> </span>You can topic search, keyword search, or simply browse around till you find something useful!<span style=""> </span>They claim that they have “hundreds of ideas for every science topic, from Astronomy to Zoology!”<span style=""> </span>This website would be a great resource for a teacher, student-teacher, parent, or a blooming scientist!<span style=""> </span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The website is truly amazing.<span style=""> </span>As you familiarize yourself with it, you will see that you can do searches based on the level difficulty you need, and the topics really are endless as they are extremely precise and very articulate.<span style=""> </span>As a wonderful launching pad for creative ideas with instructions, All-science-fair-projects.com acts as a central base to thousands of ideas.<span style=""> </span>It is sure to give credit to other websites and sources when they are used.<span style=""> </span>Make sure you visit www.all-science-fair-projects.com for great ideas and solid information before making your next science fair project or lesson plan!<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3045/1605/1600/756267/TN_WUE_656brainA.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3045/1605/320/262439/TN_WUE_656brainA.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>BrainPOP</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>I have recently fallen in love with a website based on curriculum.

Coats are forgotten and the weather turns to cold. Children are confined to the classroom and hand washing techniques are not always completed. This encourages the spread of infection.<br />Strep throat is an infection that is very common among school-aged kids and teens. The common symptoms of strep throat include fever, stomach pain, and red, swollen tonsils. Further symptoms that will develop within three days include:<br />red and white patches in the throat<br />difficulty swallowing<br />tender or swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck<br />headache<br />general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling<br />loss of appetite and nausea<br />rash<br /></p><p>The bacteria can spread easily from person to person by sneezing, coughing, or shaking hands. After experiencing several symptoms, a call to the child’s doctor is a good idea. Most likely the doctor will do a rapid strep test and the infection can be diagnosed in a few minutes.<br /><br />Treatment for strep throat is an antibiotic medication prescribed from the doctor. Also, it is important that the child gets plenty of rest and drinks plenty of fluids in order to prevent dehydration. In about 24 hours after taking the antibiotics, the temperature should be back to normal and the child should no longer be contagious. After a few days, the symptoms should start to go away.<br />It is very important to teach children in the classroom the importance of Hand Washing!<br /><a href="http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/lung/strep_throat.html">http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/lung/strep_throat.html</a></p><p><span style="font-size:0;"></span><br /></p>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01981669869593122038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16805000.post-1161806419038039132006-10-25T14:45:00.000-05:002006-10-25T15:00:19.066-05:00Government website for especially for kids<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3045/1605/1600/fgcolorsc.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3045/1605/320/fgcolorsc.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p> </p><p>This site is maintained by the Federal Citizen's Information Center and is specifically designed for kids.
