I think we are going to build a closed terrarium the first week of school to go with A Drop of Water.

That would be so much fun! My kids would love this, how are you doing it?
And I'm glad to have permission to pre read a drop of water with the kids before school starts  they will be excited, as I told them we must wait until school begins.

You know those ginormous plastic containers that cheeto-like puffed cheese balls come in? My friend brought me one and we punched a few small holes in the plastic lid to make our terrarium. Works like a charm!

Oh, wow! I found a really cool resource to go with the bubble section. Tomorrow the kids are going to make bubble wands with pipe cleaners. Over the weekend, I'm going to PLAY and see if I can figure out how to make square and cube bubbles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5D1_zYOqAc

Very cool. I wonder if tinker toy connectors could be used for the corner pieces as well?

I'm going to go cheaper: styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, or popsicle sticks or ...
Oh, and the cotton gloves! Where do you find them? LOL
