"My All About Me Book" is one of my favorite items I sell in my Etsy Store and it is one of my top sellers with positive reviews. My preschool class and my own children made these books this year and they had so much fun doing it. The All About Me books are a great way to journal about your child as well as to remember the special things your child was interested in, how tall they were at that age, what their self portrait looked like, etc. This book is made for all ages. For younger children you can help them fill it out, for older children they can fill it out themselves. The great thing is you could do this book over and over each year or as often as you would like. I plan on having my girls make this book each year to see how much they have changed as well as grown. It would also be a great item to add to your child's portfolio if you teach. The best part is the "My All About Me Book" is only $3.00 and it can be downloaded and printed over and over again. CLICK HERE to be taken to the book at my Etsy Store. To download this sample height and weight page from My All About Me Book, CLICK HERE. Thanks everyone and have a great week.
In our everyday speech we use contractions. Contractions are a kind of “short cut” in the way we use words to communicate. Think about it for a bit. If you were going to tell a friend that you aren’t going to lunch, are you likely to say, “I am not going to lunch” or “I’m […]

Last week, I introduced the girls to the character of Gnome Share through an extensive story here. We continued through the week with various exposure to the concept of division. Here is some of what we did that tied into math... In our first Maths Block, I had several stories going for the qualities of numbers that I thought I would weave number stories into this block. So for the number One, I told the girls the story of "Offerus the Giant" by Jakob Streit found in "The Easter Story Book" (the legend is actually of St. Christopher and is found in many books by various authors. Here is a very short version of it more appropriate for young ones, which takes out the devil section and the section in the end where St. Christopher goes Home to Heaven.) One represents God. We then went into the living room and Gnome Share revealed his sign in nature. I showed the girls the chalkboard drawing and read the verse to them. We then drew it in our main lesson books together. Gnome Share told the story for number 2, which was "The Two Kings' Children" by the Brothers Grimm. For number 3, he told, "The Three Sons of Fortune" by the Brothers Grimm. All week we've had fun *sharing* things together. For the first exercise, I took the basket of eggs we painted and counted out 12 of them in one basket. I presented two empty baskets next to it as follows: I told Elena that I'd like her to count the eggs and then divide them evenly so that she and her sister would have an equal amount. She loved this! I then made up a story of some squirrels who were hungry and gathered around her, hoping she would share some nuts. So she worked within the confines of the story and was dividing them equally among the squirrels. I then would increase or decrease the number of squirrels so that she could see that 24 divided by 4 equals 6 and 24 divided by 6 equals 4. Or 24 divided by 2 equals 12, etc. Then Charley finished what she had been working on and came to try, too. I started her with the 12 eggs divided into two baskets, then told her I wanted some eggs, too - so she divided 12 by 3. And then Daddy wanted some eggs, as well so she divided 12 by 4. They had so much fun with this and started to see some patterns. I wrote down the equations on a dry erase board. And we made a second MLB drawing to represent our equations. We also worked with bean bags and rhythms. We were counting by two's and passing our bean bag to the next person on the 2's and then jazzed it up by alternating the bean bag from hand to hand while passing on the 2's. That was a bit of a challenge for them as it involves the thinking and the movement on the appropriate number. I wrote down the numbers on a board so they could see a pattern. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 etc... When they could see the pattern emerging, they could count by 2's up to 144 (and then they kept going even though we're focusing up to 144)... This week, we'll be meeting the next process gnome...
