58 Center Signs with red, white and blue backgrounds, great for center management in a Patriotic Classroom! This set includes 58 full page signs for different centers in your classroom. For each center I have included a list of what the children are learning at that center, listed as "I am" statements. Often times, parents (and administrators!) don't always understand the benefits of "play". These signs point out the social, cognitive and motor developments that go on in each center. This item is Americana themed with red, white and blue backgrounds There are a variety of prints, including fireworks, flags and stars. Centers Included: Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading, Writing, Journal, Phonics, Spelling, Word Work, ABC, Letter, Poetry, Big Book, Library, Sight Words, Write the Room, Guided Reading, Small Group, Super Sentences, STEM Center and Chalk Center, Cozy Corner. Computer, Smartboard. Promethean, iPad, Overhead Dramatic Play, Play Dough, Sensory, Water Table, Light Table, Art, Painting, Puppet, Blocks, Puzzle, Listening, Music, Pet Center, Pocket Chart Center, Lego, Gross Motor, Woodworking, Dollhouse, Felt Board, Game Center, Train Center, Pattern Blocks, Fine Motor, Handwriting, Stamping, Transportation, Snack Center, Magnetic Tiles and Snap Cube Center. I also use these signs to monitor how many children are in each center. I decide beforehand how many students each center can hold. Then I attach that amount of stickers to the bottom of the laminated page. Students can then use their center-time clothespin to cover up a sticker - when all the stickers are covered that center is full!

Teach your kids how to pray. Prayer is a conversation with God. It is not about saying the right words; it's about speaking from your heart then listening to what God has to say. _______ Prayer Warriors Lessons Overview: Memory Verse: “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2 (NIV) Lessons: Pray Thankfully – At the end of his life, King David praised God in the presence of the people. Kids will learn that when they talk to God they should praise him for who he is and thank him for all he has done. 1 Chronicles 29:10-20, David's Prayer Pray Boldly – Even after Peter and John were put into jail and their lives were threatened due to sharing about Jesus, they prayed boldly that God would use them to spread his good news to the world. Acts 4:23-31, The Room is Shaken Pray Honestly – When Hannah prayed for a son, she didn't hold back her pain and fear. Kids will learn that when they talk to God they should be honest and hold nothing back. 1 Samuel 1:1-20, Hannah Prays For a Son Pray Willingly – In the hour of his deepest need, Jesus prayed that the will of the Father would be done. Kids will learn that when they talk to God they should seek his will. Matthew 26:36-46, Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane   _______ About This Curriculum: Perfect for kids ages 6-12 4-weeks Includes large group and small group resources This curriculum is an instant download Download a free sample here Each Lesson Includes: Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything. Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!"  Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.

Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson. Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together! Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :( _______ Guaranteed to Be Awesome! 100% Money Back Guarantee.
