We are exploring magnets here in kindergarten! We sorted objects between magnetic and not magnetic. I wanted the kids to be able to glue down their sort to display in the hallway. You could use tape or regular glue, but in the interest of time I opted for a glue gun. This SUPER cool temp glue gun (you have to buy special glue sticks but they are not expensive) eliminates the worry over burns! But like I said, tape works too. We have some magnet sorting in our science station
After visiting the Quilter's Unlimited Quilt Show in May, I joined the Haymarket Chapter of QU. The June meeting was a Social, so it was FUN and relaxed. One of the activities was a game of Quilter's Strip Poker. It reminded me of "Bunco", where there are a group of women at each table, and a die is rolled until a bell is rung. Then you move tables and play again with different ladies until the bell is rung again. The die is specially marked - each side has either a "C", "L", "R", "X" or a Star. 2.5" Strips of fabric are used instead of chips. It is quite a lot of fun when you win the bounty of strips in the middle! The Loot pile in the middle. Here is the rule sheet that was taped at each table (sorry for it being a bit fuzzy): It may be a little hard to read, but here it what the card says: Quilter's Strip Poker To Begin, all players put 1 strip in the center of table. Players take turns clockwise rolling the die once for each turn. C = player puts 1 strip in CENTER of the table. L = player gives 1 strip to player on her LEFT. R = player gives 1 strip to player on her RIGHT. X - player LOSES ONE TURN Star - player TAKES ALL the strips in the center of the table; Then all players, again , put 1 strip in the center of the table. Continue playing. When bell rings, move to another table taking your strips with you. Everyone had brought some strips to play the game. The theme for the strips this night was Red-White-and-Blue for Independence Day. It was a good way to get a variety of strips for your stash or just play to share your stash. Definitely had fun and would recommend this game for another quilt social. I've been asked about the die that was used in this game. It was a blank die that had been marked with a Sharpie marker. I notice the instruction card only has five values, but a die has six sides, so there must have been an extra value to fill that space. Maybe an extra "C" for the sixth value so the strip pile could grow in the middle. I looked online, and blank dice cubes can be found here on amazon, ebay, and an educational supply store. Hope this helps! Personal Note: I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July celebration this week. I had my surgery earlier this week, and it went well. I am back at home resting now. I'll return to the doctors later this month to learn the next step in this treatment plan. We are blessed with the support of family, friends and neighbors that are so helpful. I am so thankful! ♡ My kids decorated our bedroom doors! ♡ Happy Stitching!!

This week was our first week back and, boy am I tired! My class is great though...very inquisitive and eager to learn. They take their work seriously and are actively working most of the day. Who could ask for more?? We did quite a few things this week, but I want to share with you one "get to know you" project we did that really came out great. I seriously can't stop staring at it! I saw this pin on Pinterest. I love how it looks and thought it would make a great welcome sign. Now, on the pin, the hands seemed to be just colored in. I wanted something a bit more. So we started with creating Circle Maps about ourselves. What made us special? What are some things that have shaped us? Where did you go in your life? etc....Most of the kids finished these Circle Maps in class on the first day of school. I then asked the students to trace their hands and arms on a piece of 11 x 17" piece of paper. They then had to draw, write, decorate, etc...the traced in hand with items from the Circle Map. The goal was to teach their fellow classmates about themselves in a visual way, without giving away too much information (ie: I didn't want them to write paragraphs.) That is pretty much how far we got in class. So, the first homework assignment the students had to finish the project at home. I gave them this sheet so that they could be a bit more focused on their project and add a bit if they wanted. (but if you are going copy-less, just forgo this. They can write the information on a sheet of paper instead.) The next day, the hands came back to school...and they were great! I had the kids get into groups and share what they decided to put on their hands and why. The kids learned a lot about each other in that 15 minute session! You can see some of them used words as well as pictures to tell about themselves. I love the one directly in the center of this picture! Others just used pictures, like the one in the middle here. When I went to put them around a piece of poster board, like in the original pin, they didn't fit :( I think if I had used a smaller piece of paper to trace their hands to begin with they might have. Oh well! I decided to put them up as if the hands were all in a line, raising up.....and it came out great! I overlapped the hands, so I was able to get 5 or 6 on one piece of large construction paper. I then mounted them on my wall. I love it! All in all, this was a fun little project that served as a great way for the kids to get to know each other and make a nice display! What is something you do during the first week of school to help the kids get to know each other and for you to learn a little about them? Follow me on Snapchat for even more teaching ideas!
