This past Tuesday Allison's elementary school along with another one in the district had it's 1st Annual Art Show before the Intermediate High School's Spring Concert. Allison wasn't sure if any of her art work would be there but we thought we would go before dinner anyway. Can I just say here that I really enjoyed myself. The students are from Kindergarten through 6th Grade. I loved seeing how each student interpreted the teacher's instructions. I also loved seeing the level of skill that each student possessed. I stood there soaking up each of the pieces' beauty. I could tell that every student put time, talent and effort into their artwork. I know that most likely none of these pieces will end up being displayed on a wall in a famous museum. In my book that doesn't matter. The refrigerators they will grace the front of will be improved by their beauty. What does matter is that the students are proud of their work. They are proud that their work was important enough to be displayed in an "Art Show." What a boost to their self-confidence! Kudos to "Mr. B." for putting this together. He not only is teaching art but he is helping to build strong individuals. Mr. B. also did something else when he put this show together. He also inspired me. Well the student's artwork inspired me but I wouldn't have seen it if he hadn't put on the art show. It took me back to when I was in school. When my favorite subject was art. I looked forward to it every year. My art teacher was Mrs. Louise Librich. She was the best. I loved her and fortunately since I went to a small country school, I had her from elementary all the way through to high school when I took art as an elective. I miss those art classes. I miss being creative. I miss my art supplies. I miss getting my hands dirty with chalk pastels, paints and clay. I need to change that. I will change that. Allison's favorite thing to do is create with crayons, markers, scissors, glue, tape, etc.. I'm sure she would love it if I helped expand her creativity in a new direction. I'll have to work on that. Don't worry, I'll be sure to share our adventure with all of you. Here are some other pictures of artwork that I took at the show. This was the 1st Grade project. Isn't it cool? Allison is pointing at her contribution to it. Yes, it's a solid color pink but it's so beautiful! Here's a close up. What is she looking at, you ask? Well, let me tell you! This is what she couldn't take her eyes off the whole time. If you know Allison, you are probably thinking it's the dinosaur. WRONG! It's the art teacher, Mr. B.! YES! That's right! My 6 year old daughter has a crush on the art teacher! I wish I had a better picture because he is a cutey but I couldn't get her to agree to pose with him. I thought it would be odd if I asked him to strike a pose by himself. So I didn't. Allison probably would have killed me anyway. You should have seen her! She had a smile from ear to ear as soon as we walked in. It never left. Afterward when I was uploading the pictures to the computer, she asked if I was going to put him on my blog. I said yes. She then asked me if I was going to tell her secret about the crush. Boy, she knows me too well! I said I would if she gave me permission. She thought about it for a while and agreed. BUT....only if YOU all PROMISE not to say anything to him or to anyone who knows him. Okay? Do you all agree? Great! Thanks for keeping her secret. This was just too good not to share with all of you! Here are a couple more Campbell soup cans: I don't know what grade these were...I guess I should have asked but I really enjoyed all of these. I liked how the expressions were captured. I may (big MAY here) try to do one of these of Allison. And lastly a few collections for your enjoyment. I love how many different results occur from the same instructions. "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." ~Pablo Picasso Have Fun! Pin It

Do you have a smarty-pants at the table who loves to get even smarter? Our Fun Fact Printable Placemats are a great way to bring fun and smarts to the table. This African Animals set includes 8 placemats in 5 different styles so that you can pick the set that suits your style or event. Whether you are hosting a party, or just want to be a SUPER PARENT on a regular weeknight, these african animal placemats will enliven the table setting and enliven the conversation. We recommend printing the black and white placemats on regular copy weight paper at your local print shop. This should be pretty cheap (we'd guess about $0.15 each!). Then bring coloring supplies to the table and allow the kids to color their placemats.  We recommend printing the color placemats on card stock at a local print shop and laminating them! That way, just wipe them off at the end of the meal and save them for next time. With 8 different dinosaurs, you'll get a lot of use out of these before your child gets the same placemat twice!  INCLUDES: 5 different color options 8 different african animal designs formatted to print on 11 x 17 paper at your local copy shop BONUS:  The black and white placemats could be BLOWN UP HUGE at a copy center like Staples! If you are not sure what to do, we have instructions here! For personal use only.

I put together this unit for my little boy who is in love with animals...especially zoo animals. We had a lot of fun doing this unit together, some weeks we did a lot with it and others we simply did our coloring and tracing pages. This unit helped my preschooler identify the different letters and allowed us to spend some time together making memories and learning a little too. I would encourage you to print the printables all together and get them organized before starting the unit...it will be a lot easier and allow you more time with your preschooler/child.

Our Favorite Animals Can Teach Us About How God Helps Us Little animals, like puppies and kittens, seem so small and helpless. Sometimes in life, we feel small and helpless too. But God is always there to help us if we just ask Him. In these 4 Bible lessons preschoolers will learn “in all things, God helps me.” Bible Animals Preschool Ministry Curriculum Lesson Overview:  Memory Verse: “But I know that God helps me. The Lord is the one who keeps me going.” Psalm 54:4 (NIrV) Lessons: Puppies Scripture: Ruth 1:3-18, Ruth's Loyalty to Naomi Puppies are loyal and loving; they make great friends. With God's help, we can be a good friend for those who need one. When Naomi was all alone, Ruth stayed by her side and took care of her.  Objective: Kids will learn “God helps me be a friend.”   Kittens Scripture: John 10:11-18, The Good Shepherd Little kittens are soft and gentle, like sheep. Jesus is our Good Shepherd who treats us with kindness and gentleness. With God's help we can be gentle and kind to others.  Objective: Kids will learn “God helps me be kind.”   Fish Scripture: Jonah 1 & 2, Jonah Runs from God Fish HAVE to stay in the water.  If they disobey that rule and jump out of their tank, they’ll be in big trouble! God gave Jonah instructions to go to Nineveh, but Jonah didn’t obey God’s instructions - he did the opposite of what he was told to do.   As a result, Jonah wound up in big trouble - inside the the belly of a big fish! With God’s help Jonah realized he needed to obey God and got a second chance. With God's help, we can be people who obey God too.    Objective: Kids will learn “God helps me to obey.”   Birds Scripture: Acts 3:1-10, Peter Heals the Crippled Beggar Birds have powerful wings that help them soar up to great heights. When we trust God, he gives us the power to do great things for him. When Peter met a man who could not walk, he was able to heal him in the powerful name of Jesus.  Objective: Kids will learn “God helps me do great things.”    About This Curriculum: Perfect for kids ages 1-5 4-weeks Includes both large group and small group resources This curriculum is an instant download Download a free sample here.
