Team Colors

 Team Colors

    Madison's favorite coach was Ms. Acosta. Madison wanted to give Ms. Acosta a gift, but she didn't have any money. Madison sat with her head in her hands. She twirled her necklace on her finger. Then she had an idea.

    Madison stirred salt, flour, and water. She cooked the mixture until it was thick. Then she rolled the dough into little balls. She used a toothpick to make a hole through the middle of each ball to make beads. Then she baked the beads in the oven.

    Madison spread newspapers outside. She waited for the beads to cool. She painted half the beads green and half the beads gold. Madison placed a gold bead on a string. Then she added a green bead. She filled the string with gold and green beads.

    Finally, she tied the string in a knot. Madison had made a necklace for Ms. Acosta in the team colors of green and gold.
