I'm skipping ahead and posting again today because I want to share with you what I think is the GREATEST art project ever. WOW, that is a big, bold statement isn't it??? Well, you be the judge! Our letter last week was "M" so this just seemed perfect. We are reaching for the moon and the stars. YES, with the exception of cutting out the moon and the children's bodies), these were all done completely by the students themselves! I saw a similar art project on a children's museum website last year. I'm sorry that I don't have the original art piece (it was done by an adult artist) but if you do, please let me know and I will give them credit. NOTE: A big thank you to Katy Mitchell! She lead me to the original picture I saw. Here it is Artsonia. THANK YOU so much Katy!!! This project was really very simple but the children were all so proud of themselves. I loved watching each child finish their art and look at it. They were so happy. I hope you will try something like this with your class and if you do, please send me a picture, I would love to see it! Thanks for dropping by!
I love talking about family in Sunday School! It's developmentally appropriate for preschoolers because it's about them and easily relatable.
I’m not going to get into the nitty gritty of what ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is. If you are reading this post there is an excellent chance you already know what it is because you are dealing with it in your classroom. I’m also going to go out on a limb and assume that […]

As young children progress from early mark making toward writing letters it can be tempting to push them toward tracing sheets and worksheets designed for handwriting practice. However, teaching handwriting without these tools can be a lot more fun!

My last classroom had a sensory room. It was basically a little room (about 6 ft. X 5 ft) that we painted the walls black and added a variety of sensory things. I made this sensory stand for the room, and bought a lot of materials for the room, including a disco ball, a variety of light shows, a black light, glow in the dark objects, textured posters, and much more. When I found out my new classroom doesn't have a closet or area for a sensory room, I was pretty bummed because I already have so many sensory objects that my students will LOVE. My solution was building this little tent/fort to have light shows and other sensory objects in. This fort would also be a great reading station or "calm-down" area. It was a little pricey to make, but totally worth it. I spent about $40 at Home Depot on the supplies for the frame and then about $25 on fabric at Joann's. Materials: Note: my fort is about 3.5 ft X 3.5 ft and is 4 ft. tall. You can make it bigger or smaller and adjust the lengths of your PVC pipes and fabric. I added links to the products I used because I know that the names of the supplies sound confusing. -40 ft. of 3/4 in. PVC pipe (here at Home Depot) -(8) 3/4 in. PVC 90-degree Slip X Slip Elbows (here at Home Depot) -(8) 3/4 in. Slip PVC fitting (here at Home Depot) -PVC pipe cutter (here at Home Depot) -PVC pipe cement (optional, but I will be gluing my fort together with the cement once I get it into my classroom) (here at Home Depot) -About 6.5 yards of fabric. (NOTE: Measure the sides and top of your fort and add about a yard to this measurement to allow for seams. I estimated my measurements and ended up not having enough fabric so I had to use old sheets to finish my project). -Sewing machine and supplies. Method: Note: This tutorial is pretty basic, the frame of the fort is easy to build if you just look at the pictures. -Cut 8 pieces of PVC pipe that are 3.5 ft long (the bottom and top of the fort) -Screw 1 PVC fitting into each 90-degree slip. -Then create two squares of PVC pipe by attaching the 3.5 ft. PVC pipes to the 90-degree slips. -Cut 4 pieces of PVC pipe that are 4 ft. long (the sides of the fort). -Attach the two squares with the 4 ft. pieces of PVC pipe. Your frame should now look like this: -Next you need to sew your curtains. -I made the front curtains with this tutorial. (Modifying the measurements of course) Also, instead of using one big curtain, I cut the curtain in half. Then slip the pocket of the curtain over the PVC pipe. -Next sew the sides and top of the fort. I sewed ONE long piece of fabric for the two sides (right next to the front) and the top of the fort. Make sure that you measure the size of the two sides and top of your fort before cutting and sewing. Mine measured 3.5 ft. X 11.5 ft. And I added 4 inches to the 11.5 ft. to created the folded pockets. I did this by sewing according to this diagram. -Put the sides and top onto the fort by inserting the PVC pipe into the little pockets you sewed. -Last, you need to sew the back of the fort. Measured the back of the fort and add 4 inches to the length. Fold the top and bottom over 2 inches and sew little pockets just as you did for the sides and top. Slide the PVC pipe into the pockets you sewed. And you're finished! If you have any questions, leave them in the comment box! I tried to be clear in the directions, but it was somewhat hard to explain. I'm happy to help if this tutorial isn't clear enough!
