TRIBUNE KIDS MONTHLY WRITING
GUIDELINES
1. Keep length between 50 and 100 words.
2. Follow directions for the topic. Creativity is great but is the entry on topic? 3. Make sure all entries are legible. 4. Include students’ name, school, grade and parent’s email on each entry submitted. 5. Screen for appropriateness. We try to avoid potentially embarrassing entries, but sometimes it is not obvious. Note: Parents or teachers should include a note if an entry is exceptional for a particular student that might not otherwise stand out.
Have you every made fluffy slime? Here is a recipe! INGREDIENTS 2/3 Cup White Elmer’s Glue 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/4 Cup Water 2-3 Cups Shaving Cream 1.5 tablespoons Contact Lens Solution **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime. Liquid Food Coloring INSTRUCTIONS 1. Add your white glue to a bowl. 2. Add you water and baking soda and then mix. 3. Add your shaving cream and mix. The more shaving cream you add, the fluffier it will be. You may need to add more contact lens solution if you make it with 3 cups. 4. Add your food coloring until you are satisfied with the color. Mix. 5. Now slowly add in your contact solution. 6. If you find it still too sticky - add some baby oil or lotion to your hands. You can also add in more contact lens solution if you still find it too sticky. Just a little bit at a time. We like to add an extra teaspoon at a time until it stops sticking. If you add too much the slime may become too hard and won’t be as stretchy to play with.
