😍 Students at Reed's Refuge Center gathered ingredients to make slime in Science class, combining glue, water, food coloring, and borax soap. They explored different colors, textures, and additives like glitter to personalize their creations. Each student crafted their own unique slime to take home, creating a diverse array of results. Despite the mess, the experience of experimenting with something new in class was enjoyable and#reedsrefugecenter #development #center #aplacetofeelloved #believe #nonprofit #children #love #science #class #slime We don’t own the rights to this music. ...

😍The students at Reed’s Refuge initially faced challenges when they attempted to repurpose an old canvas. Despite the difficulties encountered in their first attempt, they didn’t give up. Instead, they persisted and tried again, eventually achieving the outcome they were aiming for. In addition to this, they also decorated another tumbler by adorning it with rhinestones, and the final result was stunning and visually appealing. This showcases their determination, creativity, and ability to overcome obstacles in order to create something beautiful and unique.
