General resources
- 6-29-19
- Attendance: 35
- Notes: My links for coding were broken and I didn't get the bottles for tornadoes. We made volcanoes, fake blood, snow storm in a jar (we found it worked better without the paint - possibly b/c we were putting tops on), buildings for earthquakes, titanic, and make your own shark.
- 6-30-18
- Attendance: 54
- Notes. I scheduled myself and one aide starting at 8am, then 2 more aides at 9. We put the volcanoes and fake blood in the lobby, pools for Titanic outside, and everything else in the Community room.
- I had kind of hoped for more attendance, but with temperatures souring to the 100s and being the week before July 4th, it just didn't happen. Which, ultimately, was good - more people and it would have been a disaster! The blizzard in a jar didn't work as well as I'd hoped, but most people were happy with it. Everything else went well.
