February STAR Party

On Wednesday, 2/28,  we celebrated excellent student behavior with our monthly Star party. Each day our Students are Taking Academic Responsibility by making good choices at school. They start the day with 4 stars and try to keep them all day or even earn an extra star for excellent behavior. Teachers kept track of student scores all month and averaged them to see who was invited to celebrate good behavior at our S.T.A.R. Party. Any student that averaged 3.5  stars or higher was invited to make Homemade Ice Cream in a bag! This tied in perfectly to our Language Arts Module where students developed their ice cream flavor. Students who averaged 4 stars or higher were “Rock Stars” and were able to add sprinkles or chocolate chips and change the flavor to strawberry or chocolate with syrup.

Mixing the ingredients

Shaking the gallon bags with ice, salt, and our ingredients.

Yum!!

We used the same recipe and technique as shown in this video.  It’s easy, fun and delicious if you want to try it at home!

A few tips from our experience:

-Double bag your sandwich bag of ice cream ingredients.

-Wrap the gallon ice bag in a hand towel to keep your hands from freezing

-Hold the bag upright or cold water might leak out…the rock salt lowers the freezing temperature so the ice melts quickly.

Now we’ll begin working on making good behavior choices for March!
