Welcome to Mrs. Abuyo's 3rd Grade Class!



Last Days of School!!!!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!


 26 Days to the end of the Year

  • I found online some great things to pass the time the last few days of school. However, I love how this has a different letter of the alphabet to go along with it. The students really seem to get into this. Do to costs issues, most of these are "costume" changes and require little if any out-of-pocket expense.

    • ICE CREAM RECIPE  

    This recipe is enough for one student

    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 tablespoon sugar
    4 cups crushed ice
    4 tablespoons salt
    2 quart size Zip-loc bags
    1 gallon size Zip-loc freezer bag
    a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from freezing as well!

    Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one of the quart size bags. Seal tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air left inside may force the bag open during shaking. Place this bag inside the other quart size bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. By double-bagging, the risk of salt and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimized. Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top. Again let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture. Five to eight minutes is adequate time for the mixture to freeze into ice cream.
