Eye crafts
Eye crafts are a new really fun art project! It’s a simple, easy, fun, and is very quick. 
What you’ll need:
- yarn
- 2 sticks (Popsicle sticks are more easy to use)
here are the instructions from PBS:
Knot the end of the yarn to the sticks, close to the intersection of the sticks. Wrap the yarn around the stick then follow onto the next stick, wrapping it around and continuing on around the cross until the yarn reaches the end and then tie it off. Continue knotting on weaving threads until the sticks are full.

How to make slime!
Kids all around the globe are making slime, but there are still people who don’t know how to make it. Here in this article I am going to teach you how to make fluffy slime without borax! You can also add beads or styrofoam to give it some crunch!
Here’s what you’ll need to make fluffy slime:
A mixing bowl
A stirring tool
Contact solution
Shaving cream or gel
Glue (depending on how much slime you want)
(optional) Beads or Styrofoam
Instructions :
To start off pour your glue into your bowl. Then you’re going to add 4 squirts of shaving cream. Then mix it together. Add contact solution until it’s not sticking to your mixing tool. Mix it all together. Start kneading it with your hands and playing with it and if it’s still sticky then add more contact solution. Keep on playing with it until it’s not sticking to you. Ta-da! Your slime is all ready to play, squish, or squeeze!
SLIME
Slime is the newest trend, but parents are rebelling against this ‘slime’ for two reasons. One, it’s messy. Being messy doesn’t work to slime’s advantage. Tt has stuck to hair, rugs, and clothing and then parents get angry and ban slime from their houses. Big fat reason two, BORAX. Parents say it’s toxic, but kids disagree, and say slime is fine, and Borax isn’t toxic at all. I don’t know who to side with, but if Borax is a laundry product, it can’t be that bad.
The Signature Project
The Signature Project
By: Jackie K.
On May 11 Greenacres had an amazing visitor named Patrick Dunning. He came to our school and talked about a project that he’s doing called the Signature Project. He has been working on the Signature Project for 25 years and he thinks that it will take 10 more years to finish. The Signature Project is 171 squares that are going to be covered with signatures from all around the world with all types of people signing it. Over a million people have signed their name in the project already. There is a picture that he designed and that is the picture that all the signatures are going to make. The signature project is based on life said Patrick Dunning. On top of some signatures is something you would never realize. There is a giant hand that comes up if you flash a blacklight over it. There is also an image of Patrick Dunning when you flash an infrared light. The Signature Project is awesome and it was so nice for Patrick Dunning to come to our school to share what he is doing. Let’s give him a round of applause.
Here is his website that tells you more about the Signature Project.

Multi Cultural lunch
Multi Cultural lunch
By Julia F. and Olivia R.
The Multicultural Luncheon is a lunch where people from different places around the world whose children go to Greenacres cook the food of their origin to serve to the for kids lunch. The kids get to to try different things from different countries which gives them a taste of each country. Just recently it has turned into a zero waste event for the school’s new composting program! They use compostable paper trays and compostable cutlery to enjoy the delicious food that the Greenacres moms prepared for us! Thanks to everyone who made or served a dish!
