c1810-20 Caspar David Friedrich by Gerhard von Kügelgen Biographical information from Wikipedia: Caspar David Friedrich (1774 – 1840) was born in 1774, in Greifswald, Swedish Pomerania on the Baltic coast of Germany. The sixth of ten children, he was brought up in the strict Lutheran creed of his father Adolf Gottlieb Friedrich, a candle-maker and soap boiler. Caspar David was familiar with death from an early age. His mother, Sophie Dorothea Bechly, died in 1781 when he was just seven. A year later, his sister Elisabeth died, while a second sister, Maria, succumbed to typhus in 1791. Arguably the greatest tragedy of his childhood was the 1787 death of his brother Johann Christoffer: at the age of thirteen, Caspar David witnessed his younger brother fall through the ice of a frozen lake and drown. Some accounts suggest that Johann Christoffer perished while trying to rescue Caspar David, who was also in danger on the ice. Friedrich began his formal study of art in 1790 as a private student of artist Johann Gottfried Quistorp at the University of Greifswald. Quistorp took his students on outdoor drawing excursions; as a result, Friedrich was encouraged to sketch from life at an early age. Through Quistorp, Friedrich met and was subsequently influenced by the theologian Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten, who taught that nature was a revelation of God. Quistorp introduced Friedrich to the work of the German 17th-century artist Adam Elsheimer, whose works often included religious subjects dominated by landscape, and nocturnal subjects. Adam Elsheimer "Flight into Egypt 1609 oil on copper 31 x 42 cm Four years later Friedrich entered the prestigious Academy of Copenhagen, where he began his education by making copies of casts from antique sculptures before proceeding to drawing from life. Living in Copenhagen afforded the young painter access to the Royal Picture Gallery’s collection of 17th-century Dutch landscape painting. At the Academy he studied under teachers such as Christian August Lorentzen and the landscape painter Jens Juel. These artists were inspired by the Sturm und Drang movement and represented a midpoint between the dramatic intensity and expressive manner of the budding Romantic aesthetic and the waning neo-classical ideal. Mood was paramount, and influence was drawn from such sources as the Icelandic legend of Edda, the poems of Ossian and Norse mythology. Christian August Lorentzen "Silke Saugen" oil on canvas 44.5 x 58.5 cm Jens Juel "Shore at Vedbaek" 1807 The Cross in the Mountains oil on canvas 115 x 110.5 cm Friedrich married Caroline Bommer in 1818 and they would have three children. Friedrich was acquainted with Philipp Otto Runge, another leading German painter of the Romantic period. He was also a friend of Georg Friedrich Kersting, who painted him at work in his unadorned studio, and of the Norwegian painter Johann Christian Dahl. 1811 Friedrich's Studio by Georg Friedrich Kersting oil on canvas 54 x 42 cm Friedrich's reputation steadily declined over the final fifteen years of his life. As the ideals of early Romanticism passed from fashion, he came to be viewed as an eccentric and melancholy character, out of touch with the times. Gradually his patrons fell away. By 1820, he was living as a recluse and was described by friends as the "most solitary of the solitary". Towards the end of his life he lived in relative poverty and was increasingly dependent on the charity of friends. In 1835, Friedrich suffered his first stroke, which left him with minor limb paralysis and greatly reduced his ability to paint. As a result he was unable to work in oil; instead he was limited to watercolour, sepia and reworking older compositions. Although his vision remained strong, he had lost the full strength of his hand. Yet he was able to produce a final 'black painting', Seashore by Moonlight, described by Vaughan as the "darkest of all his shorelines, in which richness of tonality compensates for the lack of his former finesse". 1835-36 Seashore by Moonlight oil on canvas 73 x 58 cm.

Now, before we get started I have a disclaimer. I am by no means the guru of all things kinder. However, I have gained a lot of self taught experience through trial and error. I have taught Kindergarten for 5 years and would love to share with you what it has taught me! **All images for resources are clickable. They will take your directly to the free product. Background As a student teacher I fell in LOVE with teaching 5th grade. Loved the age range, the content and the possibilities. After student teaching I wanted nothing more than to be teaching in a 3rd-5th grade classroom. Well, that is not what God had planned for me! 2-3 weeks before the start of the school year, I was hired to teach Kindergarten in a Catholic school! WHAT!?! I know NOTHING about this age range! I was so nervous! To make matters less appealing, I also did not have a grade partner to bounce ideas off of. The previous teacher was not much help (she changed grades). Nor, did I know about the magic Facebook groups. More or less, I was on my own. The First Year Nope. Not going there. Long story short - it was rough. I had an extremely difficult class and my lack of understanding of strong behavior management did not add to the issues. It was a long year with a lot tears. So many times I wanted to quit. Yet, some how I managed to survive. Transition Years So I stayed teaching Kindergarten. Mostly because I did not get offered an other positions. But, I also wanted some stability. The next few years I grew so much as an educator. Starting in year 3 I had an aide and she was a Godsend. It was nice to have another adult in the room to bounce ideas off of. And quite frankly, Kindergarten should have an aide! During years 3-5 this was the time I was finally getting into my stride. I by no means want to worry any new teacher. But, become confident and exceptional at what you do takes time. There is failure and success. Each year is a new class which means you might need to change how your room is structured. It doesn't mean I wasn't a good teacher as I began my career. But I was learning. Sure we got all the content covered, but that does not make a good teacher. As I completed my 5th year of Kindergarten I felt amazing. I was on my way to being one of those great teachers! I still have hopes of teaching older grades. But I fully believe in giving everything I have. And that is what I did for my kinders, because our students deserve it. Learn From Me! Okay, So my first year - no good. But that doesn't mean yours can't be!! I feel that the most important time of the school year is the first few days/weeks. This is when you will set the foundation for your classroom. Listen to your professors from college. Be tough those first weeks. Seriously, you need to set the expectations for your students behavior or they will walk all over you. Now don't laugh - but it took me 4 years to finally put together a structured binder of first week activities. Yes, the first week is so important that it needs it's own binder. Get Up and Move! Kindergarteners love to sing and dance! Yes Gonoodle is awesome but so are Jack Hartman and Harry Kindergarten! The Learning Station is another one of my favorites. Your class will learn so much from singing and moving. Use that! Especially during the first week they are going to struggle with sitting for "long" periods of time. Be prepared by having fun songs they can interact with. My aide was awesome at making up her own songs to use. I, unfortunately, lack that particular skill. First Week Activities Can we just quickly pause to appreciate how awesome Educlips is?! So what exactly should you do for the first week? There are a few things that are super important. The most important is transportation! You will probably have a meet the teacher night before school starts. This is where you will have the parents fill out how their child will be going home. But guess what, it changes. Some parents will take off of work just so they can pick up their child from school. Check this and double check this! BUT even with all of that checking you may still send a child home the wrong way. (hand raise!) I have! It's hard especially when there are grandparents involved in picking up a child or the parents do not live together. Remember that it is okay! Mistakes happen. If you send them on the bus - the bus will bring them back. Put them in the car rider line by mistake? A parent can be called. It will be okay. Bathroom breaks - take many of these. And dancing breaks, those are awesome too. They are kids! And just like you, they are nervous. Have fun! I plan my first week of school around read alouds. I do this because There are some great books to talk about first day feelings and expectations. You can incorporate so much with a read aloud! So let me break it down for you what I did and where I got the resources. Plus, my aide for the past two years was a retired kindergarten teacher and read most of the same books. There is a pattern here people! First Day - Read The Kissing Hand **The day of tears Brace yourself: your students will cry. Their parents will cry. You will probably want to cry. (It's okay if you actually do cry). This is real life lol. But remember - it will all be okay! You will be awesome! Just have fun! I have a coloring page waiting for my class when they come in. Some will color it, some will just sit and cry. Could be a good opportunity to introduce book buddies (stuffed animals) that they can hold if they didn’t bring something with them. I have changed my page every year but here are some I’ve used: Click on the images to go to the free resources! I love doing the tour of the school with my kiddos as a little scavenger hunt - they get so excited. The clues lead them around the school and they get to meet a few other grownups they will see frequently. During the hunt they are trying to find Chester. At the end they are back in the classroom were Chester leaves them some goodies. This might be good to do after AM snack when they have opened up a bit (if you are full day). I used this format to help me: I would suggest purchasing little heart stickers to use with this book as well. Drawing/writing to go with the book: These stations are something that I had prepared but did not get to finish. Which is fine! I would much rather have too much to do than not enough. **There are more books about Chester that would be great to read to your students as well. Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten Miss Bindergarten is another fun character to bring into your classroom. There are a series of books that star her and her kindergarten class. How fun for your students to compare themselves. I like this book for the first week because they can learn about their teacher too! Day Two - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Obviously you have to read this in Kindergarten. It's an ABC book! You kids most likely know this one as well so have them help you read! Be sure to check out Pinterest or search for more blogs like Mrs. Lee's Kinders. I made this cute craft with them. You can make it easier on yourself and print the pieces on colored paper or have your students color! My first year I had my students make these. Now, I made the mistake of having them find the letters. Learn from my mistake. Sort your letter stickers by students and have them ready to go in a plastic bag. We can't all get it right the first time. ;) How cute is this directed drawing!? Day Three - Brown Bear Brown Bear This will be another book your students are familiar with. Have a blast retelling this story throughout the day! Then have your students go home and retell it with their parents! I also made a retelling bag with my students. Spend the day working with colors! Day Four - Chrysanthemum By now your students are probably feeling more comfortable. Now is the time, if you didn't start year, that I would begin building those expectations. To me, the most important part of my job is prodcing kind and caring students that will help others. The academics will come. But you are the start of it all! This is the time to truly teach them right from wrong and how to treat each other. Social skills are something you will work all year in Kindergarten. I read this story to my class and later in the day we also watch the animated version of it from Scholastic. I shrunk these puppets down to have them fit on a Popsicle stick. Let your students retell the story with a friend! Nancy has some great ideas for the first week of school and how to expand on your student's understanding of how Chrysanthemum felt. AND First Grade Blue Skies has an adorable freebie for you! This book is just seriously amazing and needs to be read! Find Jennifer's ideas here. Splat the Cat I love splat! He is another of my favorite book characters for Kindergarten Fill A Bucket In my class we discussed a lot about filling buckets. The kind things we do fill a bucket. But also some actions can dip into a friend's bucket and make them feel bad. If You Take A Mouse To School Again - a great character to bring into your classroom. Along with his friends! Smitten in First has a free template to make this cute guy! I would have your students tell you their answer and write it on a post it for them to copy. School Behavior/ Expectations No, David is a fun book to read to your class. Have them talk about the choices that they should make in school. The lunchroom is definitely important to discuss with your class as well. I would suggest a craft similar to this, perhaps where they draw the way they should behave in the lunchroom. Building A Positive Classroom Community This is so crucial to me! As a teacher my goal is to foster a community where my students are will to take risks and try new things. Where they respect their classmates for who they are. Where they respect adults and authority. I also want my students to realize how unique and special they are. I read a book such as the one below and then we create self-portraits! I personally think it should be required for every school to purchase multicultural crayons and paints. Because let's face it, the 24 crayola box of crayons does not include all of the skin tones that represent our students. I strongly suggest that your purchase a few packs of the crayons to keep in your classroom! The cost about $1 a pack, but add so much to your room! More Ideas How cute would this lap book be?! I think it would be fun to work on during the first week with your students. Practice identifying their name! This is a cute activity and how fun would it be to complete it with rainbow writing!? PHEW! That was a jam packed post! I truly hope that these ideas can be of some use for you and your students. That's the whole reason I blog and create for TPT, to help your students. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know! Remember, you go this!

This week's lesson takes place in 1 Samuel 21-22. This is the Life of David Series and David escapes, takes Goliath's sword, lives in a stronghold and Saul kills the priests in Nob. King Saul’s son Jonathan warned David that his father wanted to kill him. So, David left and went to Nob. There were priests there and Ahimelech was afraid when he saw David alone. David told him that King Saul had sent him on some secret business. David asked him for five loaves of bread, or whatever he had and could share. Ahimelech gave him some holy bread. David asked him if there was a spear or sword he could have. David said that he had to leave so quickly that he didn’t take any weapons with him. The priest told him that they had the sword of Goliath behind the ephod. He said David could take that because Goliath’s sword was all they had. David took the sword and left Nod. He went to see Achish the king of Gath. The servants knew he was the one that had killed Goliath and that made him afraid. David pretended to be insane and let spit run down his beard. The king asked why they brought this crazy man into his house? David left there and went to a cave called Adullam. His brothers heard that David was at the cave, so the servants and his brothers went to the cave to see him. All the people that had problems or were unhappy all gathered together with David. There were about 400 men and David became captain over them. David went to the king of Moab and asked if his parents could stay with him until he knew that he was safe. David took his parents to stay in Moab and David stayed in a stronghold. The prophet named Gad told David that he needed to leave the stronghold and go to the land of Judah. David left and went into the forest of Hereth. King Saul began to accuse his people of conspiring against him because no one told him that Jonathan had made a pact with David. The head servant of Saul told him that he saw David visit Ahimelech the priest and gave David food and Goliath’s sword. Saul sent for Ahimelech and asked him why he supported David. He told Saul that there wasn’t anyone as faithful as David. David was honorable and faithful. He said he didn’t know what was happening with Saul and David. Saul was angry and said that Ahimelech and everyone in his house would die because they let David escape and didn’t tell Saul! Saul had 85 priests killed that day and the people and animals that lived in Nod with the priests. One man escaped and ran to tell David that Saul had killed the priests. David felt sorry that they had been killed because he had visited there. The printables for David in this series are for an older age group than I usually post.

This could be used with younger groups by using the answer sheet and just asking the questions for discussion. Each post in this series will have a maze and some type of puzzle.
