I know it's late and it's almost not even Friday anymore but I wanted to link up with First Grade Parade to share my favorite pins of the week!! My Five Favorite Pins of the Week - 1. A recipe which is kinda funny because I CAN'T cook.....like not at all...... Click on the picture to go to the site. This is for Bourbon Chicken. We LOVE Bourbon Chicken from the little restaurant at the mall. I am just not sure we would love it if I cooked it. Besides it has about 20 ingredients so this is probably a "pin and never do". Do you have any of those? 2. For my classroom decor - You can click on it to go to the site but it doesn't go to the how to, just to a main page. I have two old TV stands like the top and I hope to be able to redo them before school starts to look cute and stylish like the bottom although I may leave the wheels on it. 3. For my home decor - Sadly, this link is for a session at a store on how to make it and not instructions. I need to find instructions on how to make this and make myself one for my front door. This is perfect for fall!! I would change the green ribbon at the top to more green mesh stuff though. 4. For my classroom lessons - Oh my goodness!!! This is the cutest game ever!! Mrs. Prince tells you all about it on her blog if you click the picture. I can't wait to play this game with my kiddos this fall! 5. For my classroom lessons during the first week - Oh isn't this the greatest thing ever!?!??!?!? I want to make one and leave it up on my wall YEAR ROUND to remind my students of how a great classmate acts! Thanks for hanging out with me tonight as I looked through my pins this week! As promised, your flash freebie is my Apple Alphabet Bingo! It will only be a freebie until tomorrow night around this time so hurry over to TPT and grab it. This game comes with 26 alphabet bingo cards for the students to use as well as 26 apple cards with each letter of the alphabet on them to use when calling. If you do download my Apple Alphabet Bingo, please leave me feedback! THANKS!!! Have a great weekend!

In patterning our life after the Savior's we should seek for opportunities to serve those around us. In Mosiah 2:17 it states, "...when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." As Relief Society sisters, we have tremendous opportunity to watch out for those around us that need that loving hand of help. When we feel impressed to help someone we need to listen to those promptings and act upon them. We can provide service to others individually or we can do this as a family. Teaching our children the importance of unselfishness, love, and sacrifice. One thing that we did with our kids a few months back was thirty days of service. Each day we did an act of service for thirty days. It was fun to see them serve others and discuss the happy feelings we each individually felt from doing so. Here are some ideas:

Too many classroom icebreakers require students to take big social risks with people they barely know. Or they don't really help students get to know each other. Or they are just plain cheesy.
I stumbled across this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect for my third and fourth graders! I often hear complaints from students that although others "allow" them to play games at recess, they often do not "include" them in the game. For example, in football they are on the team but the ball is never passed to them. I used this as a springboard for discussion on what teamwork really looks like. The Cup Stack is a great activity to facilitate teamwork. Some groups are able to complete the task very quickly while other groups must keep trying and trying to complete the task successfully. It's hard not to give up when things get frustrating, and this is a valuable lesson for children to learn in a safe environment. All you need is cups, rubberbands, and string. I decided to put my students into groups of 6, so I tied 6 equally spaced strings (about 1-2 feet long) around a single rubberband. Each group was given this device and 6 cups. The challenge is for the group to build a pyramid out of the paper cups (3 on the bottom, 2 in the middle, 1 on the top - can be adjusted for more cups). Group members cannot touch the cups with their hands or any other part of their bodies, even if a cup falls over or on the floor. Each person holds onto one of the strings that are attached to the rubber band and they use this device to pick up the cups and place them on top of each other (by pulling the rubber band apart and then bringing it back together over the cups). Some groups took 2 minutes to accomplish their goal, some 10 minutes, and some never successfully built their tower. I had groups that finished early watch the remaining groups to add a little "pressure." Afterwards we debriefed with the following discussion questions: Was anyone frustrated at all during the activity? If so how was it handled? What did you learn about yourself or others? Why was teamwork so important for this activity? What is so hard about teamwork? What did you do today to contribute to the teamwork on your team? What are some skills needed to be good at teamwork? Are you every in a situation where you must use teamwork? Is this always easy for you? Why or why not? How can we use what we learned through this experience in situations outside the game? Check out Teamwork: Cup Stack Take 2!

It seems like every day there is an endless stream of students reporting behaviors or incidents that happen in the classroom. On one hand, we want to help our students feel heard and validated so they know we are a safe person for them to talk to. On the other hand, we certainly don't want to feed into the tattle machine. It's a fine line to walk. So how do we handle tattling in our classrooms?

Changing the elevator up the stairs can improve your heart health. In addition, it helps you lower your cholesterol, while strengthening your bones and increasing your muscle tone. Do you know the benefits of practicing different exercises every day? Whether for work, family or even personal reasons, it is common for us to lead a sedentary life. Most people do not practice any kind of physical activity. You may not notice it right now, but in the long term our body will suffer various problems that will affect your quality of life. How about we start introducing three simple exercises? 3 exercises against sedentary lifestyle Obesity, heart problems, cholesterol ... There are many diseases that can be alleviated by introducing elementary exercises that will help us to improve our health. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes a day to get it. But yes, we must be constant. You dare? Remember that a requirement to be firm in relation to exercise is not to practice alone. So, what if you encourage a friend or family member to accompany you? Of the three exercises presented, choose those that are easier for you to do, and you can even combine them and alternate them by days. The essential thing is that you do it every day and take it as a habit in your life. Your health will thank you. 1. The benefits of going up and down stairs Photo by Nathan Cowley It may surprise you, but it is. Up and down stairs an excellent way to improve the health of our heart. Also to strengthen the muscles of the legs, consume calories and obtain adequate cardiovascular conditioning. In only half an hour we can lose 342 calories. Dr. Roy Shephard of the University of Toronto (Canada) states the following: Only by climbing steps of twenty centimeters at a rate of twenty per minute can you obtain incredible benefits for our health. And this is, without a doubt, one of the best exercises we can do. Benefits Reduction of cholesterol and blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of heart disease. Greater muscle strength in the legs and greater cardiopulmonary resistance. Burning calories Strengthening our bones Improvement of circulation and muscle tone. How to do it? At home, in shopping centers or even in our work. Between 20 and 25 minutes every day. If you get tired, take a slower pace breathing deeply. Climb up step by step with your back straight and try not to move forward. Control the work of your legs and the flexion of the feet. If you have a knee prosthesis or a leg injury, do it very slowly. And if you have had any type of heart problem, consult your doctor before performing this exercise on a daily basis. 2.Benefits of riding a bicycle This is another of the most beneficial and recommended exercises. If you have a bicycle and you have the opportunity to find a good space to travel around without risks, do not hesitate. Moreover, if it is possible to replace your car with a bicycle to work, better than better. Pedaling on a daily basis can bring us great health benefits. Just do it every day for 30 or 35 minutes. And, if it is in company, it will be more pleasant. Reduces the risk of heart attack by 50%. Prevents back pain and protects the joints. The movement of the pedal stimulates the muscles of the dorsal vertebrae and strengthens the lumbar area, thus preventing the appearance of herniated discs. The joints of the knees also find improvement before these cyclic movements, helping also to protect the strength of our cartilages. Improve our immune system. When we ride a bike and perform these elementary exercises in our body, we mobilize the phagocytes. These cells are devourers of bacteria in the human body and eliminate all kinds of toxins. 3.Benefits of walking daily To find the right benefits in this simple exercise, you must do it daily. Also, you must walk at a rapid pace for half an hour. It is not about running at all, but taking a light step. The goal is for our body and our heart to maintain an optimal level of functioning during this brief time. Strengthens the heart, prevents heart disease and reduces cholesterol. We control our weight. If little by little we accelerate our pace we will increase our muscle mass, our metabolism will rise and we will burn more fats. We prevent dementia and strokes. We prevent osteoporosis. We stimulate the bones and strengthen them, also improving the effectiveness of our joints. Toning glutes and abdominals. For this we have to pay attention to our position while we walk. Try to do it upright and in a comfortable position, do not lean forward. We increase the levels of vitamin D. When walking in the light of day we will obtain this vitamin essential for the health of the bones and the immune system. We increase energy and well-being. If we walk for half an hour a day in the company of our partner or a friend, it will be much more beneficial and less burdensome. By walking daily we can reduce stress and anxiety. Breathing outdoors and disconnect from our obligations for a moment is undoubtedly the best vitamin we can get. How about we start today?
