At the start of a new year, chances are some of your students are new to your school. Other students were not in the same class last year and everyone is new to your classroom. Let your students know that great things happen when they all cooperate and work together. During the first week of school, you should spend some time on team building activities. Here are a few ideas I found around the web: Adapted from this activity: http://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Helium_Stick -Floating Hula Hoop, This activity sounds simple, but it’s great for communicating and working together. Divide the class into groups of 4 or 5. Have the group form a circle facing the center. Ask then to hold out their index finger. Place a hula hoop on their fingers. Their job is to lower the hula hoop to the ground without dropping it. They have a tendency to go up instead of down. It will take some communication to get the hoop to the ground. http://www.ultimatecampresource.com/site/camp-activity/hula-hoop-pass.html -Hula Hoop Pass, The object of this activity is to pass a hula hoop all the way around the circle. You can have kids stand in one large circle or divide the class into two circles. Students face the center and hold hands. Choose two people to open their hands and place the hula hoop there to start the activity. The kids have to move the hoop over their bodies and pass it on to the next person. Others can give encouragement and suggestions if the hula hoop gets stuck. Inspired from this video---https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILlp1i2WJcM -Balloon Caterpillar Race, Have students form 4 lines with 5 to 6 students in each line. Students should all be facing forward with the lead students behind a start line. Place an inflated balloon between each person. When you say go, the entire line must cross the finish line without dropping any balloons. If they drop a balloon they need to go back to the start and begin again. Another way to begin building a community is to brainstorm what it takes to be a positive classmate. Use a chart like this to brainstorm the characteristics of a positive team member. You can download a copy of the blank chart here. Since it is a pdf file you can print it poster size. I made mine 200% of the original. Then I glued the six pages together to make the poster for our class discussion. I also make a single page copy for every student so they can make their own chart along with you. Once the students understand what makes a positive classmate tell them the class will earn a reward for showing all these characteristics. Using the letters SPARKLE, which stands for Students who are Prepared, Attentive, Respectful, Responsible and Keep Learning every day! Put up one letter every time the whole class is following the guidelines for being a positive classmate. When they earn all 7 letters the class has earned a special reward. You can choose the reward or let the class brainstorm a possible list. You can download the letters here. For more ways to help your kids SPARKLE, check out the entire product in my TPT store.

It was such a privilege to make this Dacha quilt for RJR's "What Shade Are You?" blog. Working with all of these bright fabrics was so much fun! Don't you just love the way that they stand out against the freshly fallen snow? You can find the original blog post HERE on the Quilt With Love blog. I've had several people ask me if I was going to make a pattern for this quilt. That wasn't my original plan, but I decided to throw together a quick tutorial, for those who might be interested in making something similar. Although I love this quilt in solids, I can also imagine this as a scrappy quilt, so I'll give directions for an individual house block, and will also include basic guidelines for making the quilt as it is shown. For each house block you will need the following pieces: House One (1) - 3.5" x 6.5" One (1) - 2" x 2.5" Two (2) - 5.5" x 2.5" Door One (1) - 4" x 2.5" Background Two (2) - 3.5" x 3.5" To make the roof, draw a diagonal line on the back of each background square. Sew on the line, as shown below. Press back to make sure your blocks is square, then trim. Repeat on the other side to make one flying geese...or is the one flying goose? Haha. Sew the small house piece to the top of the door piece. Assemble the block as shown below. Block size is 6" x 8" (finished). You will need 49 blocks to make the quilt as shown. It measures approximately 57" x 72". For this design, I selected the 12 house colors from primary, secondary, and tertiary colors of the color wheel, in deep saturated shades. I used RJR Cotton Supreme Solids, which are listed on the Quilt With Love blog. IMPORTANT: You will need 1/4 yard of each fabric. Please note that 1/4 yard will allow enough to make 4 houses. If you do the math, you'll realize that only gives you 48 houses, so make sure that you have a little extra of one of the colors to make the 49th house. The cutting requirements for the house fabrics are pretty tight, so be mindful that you have a full nine (9) inches from which to cut. FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: HOUSE FABRICS - 1/4 yard - 12 different colors From each solid, cut the following. One (1) 3.5" strip, subcut into: Four (4) 6.5" x 3.5" (roof) Two (2) 2.5" strips, subcut into: Eight (8) 5.5" x 2.5" (house) Four (4) 2" x 2.5" (house) Four (4) 4" x 2.5" (door) BACKGROUND FABRIC - 2.5 yards Nine (9) 3.5" strips, subcut into: Ninety-eight (98) 3.5" squares Nine (9) 1.5" strips, subcut into: Forty-nine (49) 6.5" x 1.5" (horizontal sashing) Eight (8) 1.5" strips (vertical sashing) Note: you may be able to get by with only seven (7) cuts, if you use leftovers from the horizontal sashing. Cut and piece together to fit Seven (7) 4" strips (borders) BINDING - 1/2 yard I hope that you find this tutorial helpful. If you make your own Dacha quilt, please use the hashtag #dachaquilt and tag me on Instagram (@kairleoaks). I'd love to see your work! Quilted by Utah Valley Quilting.

I had this idea for a country bedroom which sprung up from a wardrobe I had intended to go with a now scrapped set. With Cottage Living announced, I decided to move it off the back burner and finish it as i felt that it would work great for the pack. With a few additions including some lovely floral bedding, it's finally ready for me to use in my gameplay save. What you need to know: The seating items have both the bedding florals and my regular plain swatches there is no toddler bed as I felt the frame design was too compromised for the size so I skipped it. if you want to place the sidetables as close to the bed I advise MoveObjects, it doesn't block routing, at least in my game anyway Updates: 2/10/2021: Fixed issue where normalmap and specular were incorrectly linked resulting in people without Roarsome Bedroom seeing weird shiny patches on single bedding. 28/7/2022: Updated bedding for pre-High School Years patch which caused beds to be non-functional and disappear upon placement The Build item/s feature: basegame compatibility non-default between 20 and 35 colour/style options colour filter compatible Find using the keyword "Hinterlands" using my tutorial here custom thumbnails Price and polycount: Double bedframe ($310, 606 polys) Double bedframe with footend ($310, 1018 polys) Single bedframe ($170, 512 polys) Single bedframe with footend ($170, 762 polys) Wardrobe ($975, 1122 polys) Dresser ($615, 1212 polys) Bedside table ($195, 556 polys) Nightstand ($135, 364 polys) Occasional bench ($370, 408 polys) Wingback ($795, 1088 polys) Arched mirror ($375, 576 polys) Porcelain lamp ($125, 902 polys) Luxurious bedding V1 ($1200, 1670 polys) Luxurious bedding V2 ($1100, 1238 polys) Luxurious single bedding V1 ($325, 1264 polys) Luxurious single bedding V2 ($300, 910 polys) Download from either of the below links.

This week’s crazy building is Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While its retro-futuristic design looks like something out of the ’60s, this museum, nicknamed the MAC, was actually completed in 1996. This strange-looking museum looks like an upside-down flying saucer. The main section of the building, the “cupola”, is three stories tall
