A Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On

The end of March brought on some early goodbyes.  For three of my students and their families it was time to close out their stay in Niger.  Especially in this place where students are frequently coming and going, it's important to acknowledge those goodbyes.  So we combined the goodbyes with our study of matter (liquids, solids and gases) and created some ice cream.

All the ingredients went into a small bag which was placed in a big bag of ice and salt and then there was a whole lot of shakin' going on while the students worked to get the liquids to mix and turn into a solid.

A whole lot of shakin' going on.

Nothing like a little ice cream to take away the sadness of saying goodbye.

The ice cream was so good this kid was covered in it by the end!

Now that's what I call a sweet goodbye.
