Jasmine Dragons & Geauga Achieve

Geauga Achieve is happy to have involvement with Jasmine Dragons in Chardon! The recent Variety Show by Jasmine Dragons was a big success, and one of our students even got to go on stage (congratulations Isabella!). Geauga Achieve supporters who plan on attending the Fundraiser on February 28th can look forward to a few little surprises from Jasmine Dragons to keep the night moving with fun and entertainment!

Happy Valentine's Day! We celebrated on Thursday since we had no school on Friday. The students integrated science with our shaving cream and baking soda heart. It looks like snow on the heart. We dumped a full box of baking soda into a bowl and then gradually added more and more shaving cream. It was a standard size box of baking soda and we ended up using about half the can of shaving cream. The mixture gets mixed together and then after a few minutes it starts to get chilly like snow and feels like the same exact consistency as snow. The students also mixed their favorite color in the concoction.

One of the great things about Valentine's Day is that it coincides with American Heart Month. We worked on some heart healthy activities by watching a movie on Brainpop Jr. about hearts. We also threw a dance party and played limbo. This got the juices flowing with our kids.

Lastly, we also ate yummy heart cookies. Lauren really enjoyed hers!
