The Social We danced the afternoon away at our Mardi Gras Party. We made masks, ate paczkis, and sang along to some jazz and polka music! Rilma who works in our kitchen came to teach us some dance steps! Science Experiment We turned pipe cleaners into crystals. It was hard to wait a whole day to see how they turned out but the results were definitely worth waiting for! Minetta came up with the creative idea of hanging our crystals on sticks, turning our experiment into art! Olympic Events Right here at Green Acres!
