Soapy Springtime Surprise (120 words)
It was a lovely spring morning, and the preschoolers flew
outdoors like racing robins. One of the school’s volunteers, Miss Nora, joined
them in the play yard.
“What did you bring today, Miss Nora?”
“Such fun! I brought…soapy water!”
The children frowned.
“Do we have to wash something?” asked Olivia.
“Did you bring anything else, Miss Nora?” asked Carlos.
“Yes! I brought two sticks, a string and a bead, too!”
“Doesn’t sound like much fun,” said Dylan.
The children started to walk away. But then, Miss Nora
dipped the bead and strings down into the soapy water, and then raised the sticks
high, and…
“Hurray! Giant bubbles!” The children squealed.
“This is how I celebrate Spring,” said Miss Nora.
“Surprise!”
Aww, Deb, this is pure YOU. Love your GIF. Surprise - we don't have pt clean w/the soapy water! So cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy! This was taken at my daughter's preschool. So sad that it's closed now--temporarily, we hope!
DeleteWhat fun! I remember taking a class to a science museum in Germany where you could stand in a round pan full of soap and pull a handle that brought up a big hula-hoop from the soap. The kids loved actually being inside the bubble! :) Always a fun subject.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds AMAZING! I want to go! I can say it's to visit my roots; I'm German on my dad's side, but I'd go mostly for the bubble -- Kaitlyn Leann Sanchez
DeleteI bet kids loved that! I would! Thanks, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I love that your son took this video of you, and I so want to be there! My cousin did big bubbles like this when we were kids and I just thought she was magical! Thanks for entering and sharing!
ReplyDeleteBubbles do feel magical! Actually my daughter, this preschool's director, took the video but my son made it into a GIF for me. Thanks for taking a look!
DeleteWhat fun!! Who doesn't like bubbles? Good luck in the contest.
