2011 Summer PEER @ Garfield & Bethune, "Our Summer Fun!"

As we look back we will always remember the great memories of 2011 Summer PEER!

Technology Fun!

Students in 6th and 7th grade used their creative talents to take an idea of a story, knock-knock joke, or expository text and create cartoons. First, they used online tools to make a story board, created characters and settings, edited their work and voila! They made masterpieces. Check out some of the work they created in Summer PEER 2011!

oops! Accidental Inventions

We learned about some accidental inventions.  A few inventions we made and tried out were ice cream, play dough, rice crispy treats, and sherbet. Did you know that playdough was made to help clean wallpaper?

Well, we definately needed to see how ice cream was made..

1 - we put some milk, vanilla, and sugar in a zip lock bag and sealed

2-we got a bigger zip lock bag and fill it half way with ice and added salt rock salt

3-place the ziplock bag into the big ziplock bag of ice and shake the bag until the liquid in the small bag turns to ice cream.  

-yummy!

Garfield Summer PEER attends the Chinese Cultural Camp 2011

 Yoyos

At the Chinese culture camp we learned how to use the Chinese yoyo it was the hardest thing to learn. The reason why it was so hard was that you had to throw the Chinese yo-yo in the air.  The Chinese yo-yo actually came from Taiwan. I really liked it!! Brianna D.
