tinta invisible

This week, Leo has been teaching my students about Revolutionary War spies.  So to go with these lessons, I showed the boys how to make invisible ink on Friday.  One of the reasons that I love teaching older kids is that we learn about such interesting subjects and can do some pretty cool hands-on activities.  

This one was easy.  All you need is paper, lemon juice, and fire!



We decided to make secret messages to send to each class to call them to story time.  Some of them worked just as we'd planned...

...and others did not.

But that's all part of the fun!

Naturally, all the other kids wanted to get in on some of the action.
