Slime!!!

Leave a comment

Kids in Scarsdale and all over the world have developed a love for slime. Some of the 5th grade classes use slime in many ways such as focus tools, stress balls, and many more. Some people like stress balls because you don’t get sticky. The slime is put into a balloon and funneled inside. Then the balloon is tied and you have a stress ball.

To make slime you need glue, borax, and water. You mix them altogether and you have slime. Making slime is so popular that glue has been very scarce in Scarsdale! Rite Aid is out. Some kids say that they have to go to other towns or online shopping for glue. There have been many “slime companies” around Scarsdale, such as Slime.CO, Scarsdale Slime Guys, Squish and Slime, etc. So if your kid is looking for a new hobby. Buy him a gallon of glue, borax and let the fun begin!

One man’s backpack is open and he’s alive. Another man’s backpack is closed and he’s dead. What is in the closed man’s backpack?

 

A parachute

 

A man lives on the 19th floor. When he goes up in the elevator he only goes to level 10 and walks the rest of the way but when he goes down he can take the elevator all the way down. Why?

 

He’s too small to reach the 19th floor button.

 

A man lived in a circle house. His wife died and there were three suspects. They were the butler, the cook and the maid. The butler was greeting the guests, the cook was cooking and the maid was cleaning the corners.  Who was lying? Who did it?

 

The maid (How can a maid clean the corners in a round house?)

Girls Travel Basketball
By: Jackie K. and Juliana C.

During the winter Greenacres has always had Rec basketball games and practices. We have always had Rec basketball but why not travel people wondered. This question was not answered until this winter when a mother with a kid in fourth grade decided to make a travel team this year. Greenacres has formed a fourth grade travel basketball team. We are practicing hard and trying our best. So far we have played lots of games but have lost all of them, but we are still working hard. We have sports games at House Of Sports. There are about 14 girls on our team. There are five teams we can play. Our team will keep trying and keep on having a great time at our basketball games!

4th and 5th Grade Chorus Concert by Abby S.

Leave a comment

It was a lot of work, but we’re almost done! On Thursday, Feb 9 the chorus concert will  take place in the morning for the school and for the parents in the evening. If there is a snow day we will have to change the date as snow is in the forecast.  We’ve been working hard to learn all the songs. We will be singing songs together, and one grade at a time.  We will be singing songs  like “A-zing A-za” and “Old Carion  Crow”. I hope you come to watch!
