Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? Today we did a culminating activity as an assessment for the students' landform unit, and it was so cool! Students were given an assignment to create a "cookie island" including every landform we have studied this unit. Once they split up into groups, their first task was to plan out their island (where each landform would be located, what they would use for each item, etc.). Each group was given a cookie cake, mini donuts, chocolate chips, cookies, and three different colors of icing (green, brown, and blue). Once students came up with their plan, they began the creation of their cookie island. It was amazing to see how creative they could get with the materials they were given! After they created each part of the island, they placed a vocabulary flag on each landform. Next, each student created a hand drawn map of the island, including every landform, a key, and compass rose. Once they drew their map, they colored it in. I am so impressed with how they turned out!! Finally, once maps were drawn and messes were cleaned up, they presented their islands and then ate them! You can purchase this activity packet here!

NYC East Village Guide The East Village of New York City is one of the neighborhoods of Manhattan that really does feel like a village. The buildings are shorter and older, and the hustle and bustle of midtown is left behind for a quieter, more tranquil type of atmosphere. The people feel closer, you’ll see groups of children walking on their way to school or the park, and overall, it’s just one of the best places to live in Manhattan. But just because it’s more residential doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything of interest! In fact, the East Village used to be the center of counterculture, where American punk rock was formed and where those who didn’t fit in had a home. Today, it boasts some amazing food, art, entertainment, and nightlife! I currently live here, and so I might be a bit biased, but I think it has the best combination of everything. Without further ado, here’s my NYC East Village guide! Bluestone Lane. Image Source. Coffee Bluestone Lane – This Australian style cafe has got great coffee, food, and a super stylish interior!

VERSES: Colossians 3:1-15 MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:2 "Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth." BOOK TO REMEMBER: 1 Corinthians. Write "1 Corinthians" on small slips of paper and give them out at the end of class for the students to take home and memorize. In time, they will know all of the New Testament books by heart. PRAYER: Pray that we might always show others that we live God's way by treating them as we would treat ourselves, being kind and loving toward others, and always being forgiving and patient to all. SPECIAL SONG: Be Patient And Kind (see April 2014 - Lesson - Joseph Meets His Brothers Who Hated Him. Click on the orange circle to hear the tune to the song.) VISUAL AID: Whiteboard or chalkboard. Write the words "anger," wrath," "hatred," "bad words," "lying" in one column on the board. In another column, write "holy," "loving," "merciful," "kind," "humble," meek," "patient," "forgiving," "self-controlled." As you teach this lesson, refer to these words. At the end of the lesson, circle all of things that we should "put off" with a red marker or pink chalk. Circle all of the characteristics that we should "put on" with a blue marker or blue chalk. LESSON POINTS: Have you ever been so dirty that you could not wait to get cleaned up and change your clothes? The Apostle Paul tells us in the book of Colossians that that is the way Christians should be when it comes to sin and wickedness. Christians are different than the world because they have their minds set upon spiritual things, not things on the earth. When one is baptized into Christ, they put worldliness to death. They want to please God instead of themselves, so that the anger of the Lord will not be directed towards them. They understand that sin will make them dirty. They may not see physical dirt with their eyes, but they can see the sin through their sinful actions. When a Christian hears the gospel of Christ, they turn away from the ungodliness that will dirty their souls and will want to take off everything that is dirty or unclean in God's eyes.. We understand what anger or displeasure is and Colossians 3:8 tells us to "take off" our anger. When we are extremely angry, it is called wrath. Christians must "take off" their wrath, too. Malice is another word for revenge or to want to do harm to someone. Paul tells us to "take off" our malice. Blasphemy is to say terrible things about God. Christians are not to say such things, but are to "take off" their blasphemy. Christians are not to say bad words or have any filthy language come out of their mouths. This also includes telling bad jokes, or talking badly about others. Christians are to "take off" their filthy language. Telling lies or saying things that are not true is not something a Christian does. They do not lie to others, not even tell what people call "little white lies". A lie is a lie to God and lying belongs to the things of this world. Christians are to "take off" telling lies. Just like taking off dirty and torn clothing, Christians "take off" the way they may have lived before they were a Christian. Then, once a person is baptized, all of those old, earthly, worldly things are washed away and they become clean and new. Instead of living the way they used to live, Paul explains the new way that Christians should live: Paul tells Christians to "put on" holiness. Christians are to be holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:15. 16), and to be set apart from the world and to not be like the world Christians are different in the way they dress, speak, and behave. Christians are godlike. Mercy is also something that Christians "put on" and 'wear' when other people offend them. They show compassion, not only to their friends, but also to others who do unkind things to them. Christians try to put themselves in the other person's shoes, meaning thinking how the other person would feel, and then they show mercy to that person, no matter who it is. Christians are to be kind. Not rude, abrupt, and harsh like the world around them, Christians think of others before they think of themselves and treat others the way they would want to be treated, the way Jesus would treat others. Christians "put on" kindness. Christians are to be humble as Jesus was humble. They do not believe they are better than others. Christians humble themselves, knowing that it will be the Lord who will lift them up (James 4:10). Christians are modest and do not brag about themselves.Christians "put on" humility. Being meek, and not weak, Christians are quiet and gentle, yet are strong in character. They know in what they believe and why they believe it, and defend it with all of their strength. Christians "put on" meekness. Christians are patient in all things. Christians know that there will be delays in life, that all people suffer as they live here on earth, yet they are not annoyed or impatient. They take time with others and do not complain to them or complain behind their backs. Christians "put on" patience." One word many people do not use any more is forbearance. Forbearance means self-control. It is closely related to patience, but when one has control over themselves, they can more easily have patience with others. When Christians put on forbearance, they can control their emotions and feelings. They do not lose control. Christians "put on" forbearance. Christians are forgiving people. They understand that everyone makes mistakes. There will always be problems. Since they know this in advance, they can be prepared and determined to be patient, kind and forgiving of the mistakes others make, as well as themselves. Christians "put on" forgiveness. Paul tells Christians to "put on" love. When a Christian loves others, they can be kind, humble, meek, patient, and forgiving. Love is the bond or chain that connects all of God's children. Christians show that they love Jesus by trying to be like Him and doing those things He wants them to do (John 14:15). Christians wear these characteristics all of the time. It does not matter the day of the week, whether they are home or away, with friends or not, or if they are in a good mood or bad. They ask themselves, "What would Jesus do in this particular situation?" and they always choose to do what Jesus would do. They chose the better choice. "Older Student" Tips: We know that Paul wrote four of the New Testament letters from prison: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. The first three letters, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, were written to the churches in those particular areas (Ephesus, Philippi, and Colosse) while the short letter to Philemon was written to a person who was a slaveowner. Colossians 2:1 informs the readers that the church at Colosse had not seen his face in the flesh. What does this mean? Paul had not been to Colosse before. He had only written this letter. Do we want to know how husbands, wives, children, fathers, servants (or today's employees), and masters (or today's employers) should behave? Then we need to read Colossians 3:18-4:1 to see what Paul had to say about their duties. Paul intended for his letters to be passed around to congregations and to be read to the members in each location. Read Colossians 4:16 to see where Paul wanted this Colossian letter to be sent next and what the church at Colosse should be reading next. How do we know Paul wrote this letter from prison? Read Colossians 4:18. ACTIVITY: Changing Coats NOTE: The activity below is designed for older elementary students. If teaching younger students, the Bible teacher may want to prepare the 'person' and the 'coat' in advance. The young student with limited writing skills, may want to simply write "OLD MAN" and "NEW MAN' on the yellow coat. There is probably a simpler way to create a coat, but I have found that older elementary students want to duplicate it for themselves or draw their own creation. It also teaches sequencing and following directions. As long as the words and verses are written on the coat, that is all that matters. The lesson will be reinforced if the students know the lesson well. Materials: 9" x 12" light brown paper, 9" x 12" yellow paper, markers, pencils, small (4 inches or so) round container, scissors, crayons. Hand out light brown paper . At the top of the paper, place a small, round container to trace. Trace with a pencil or marker. This is the person's head. Fold light brown paper down the middle of the head. This makes it easier to draw the rest of the person. With a pencil or marker, draw a neck, one arm, and one leg on the sides away from the fold. Keeping the paper folded, cut out the head, arm, and leg. Open the light brown paper. This should look like the outline of a person. Set person aside. Hand out yellow paper. Fold yellow paper in half. This is the coat. With the fold at the top of the yellow paper, place unfolded person on top of the yellow paper. Make a small mark on the yellow paper about a half-inch from each side of the person's neck. This the coat's neckline. (see picture below) Make two more marks about one-half inch farther out on either side of the marks in step #13. These are the 'neckline seams.' With a pencil, draw a line on the yellow paper about an half-inch away from the person's both sides, making sure the fold stays at the top. Set person aside. Beginning on the outside 'neck' mark on the yellow paper, draw a curved line connecting to the mark under the person's arm on the same-side. (see picture below) Do the same on the other side of the person. This should make 'armholes.' (see picture below) On the inside marks made in step #13, draw a curved line, connecting to the two inside marks. This is the neckline of the coat. With yellow paper still folded, cut on pencil lines. This should result in a 'coat.' NOTE: These side 'seams' should not be taped, glued, or stapled, otherwise, the coat will not be able to be reversed. On only ONE side of the yellow paper, cut up the middle of the coat. This will be easier for the student to put the coat on the person. On the side of the coat that is cut up the middle, write "OLD MAN" at the top by the neckline and "Colossians 3:8, 9" at the bottom of the coat. On the same side, write "anger," "malice," "wrath," "blasphemy," "filthy communication"(or filthy language), and "lies." Taking off the coat, fold the seams of the coat to the other unwritten side of the yellow paper, turning coat inside-out. On the unmarked side of the coat that is cut up the middle, write "NEW MAN" at the top by the neckline and "Colossians 3:12-14" at the bottom of the coat. On this same side of the coat, write "holiness," "mercy," "kindness," "humbleness," "meekness," "patience," "forgiveness," "self-control," "and love." Color face. Add buttons, etc. Re-tell the story of the worldly person who does worldly deeds (person wearing the OLD MAN side of the coat), but when the worldly person is baptized and becomes a Christian, he joyfully casts off that old coat and puts on a new coat of godly deeds (turn to NEW MAN side of the coat and place on person).

"The Best Advice I Can Give You Regarding How to Prepare for These Last Days | Luke 21:35-37" Script: [Introduction] "Hello and welcome to 'All About Changes.' Today, I’m sharing the most important advice I can give you for preparing to survive these last days. We’re living in a time where uncertainty and chaos are becoming the norm, but as believers, we have a guide—a divine instruction that can lead us through the storms ahead. In Luke 21:35-37, the Lord warns us, 'For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.' This scripture is not just a warning; it’s a call to action. [Key Point 1: The Snare on the Whole Earth] First, let’s talk about the snare that will come upon the whole earth. The world is moving toward a tipping point where every nation, every person, will face trials that are inescapable. We’re already seeing the signs—natural disasters, wars, famines, and spiritual darkness. These are not just random occurrences; they are the birth pains of what is to come. But don’t let fear paralyze you. Instead, let it motivate you to prepare. Physically, yes—by storing food, water, and supplies—but more importantly, prepare spiritually. [Key Point 2: Watch and Pray] The Lord commands us to 'Watch therefore, and pray always.' Watching means staying alert, being aware of the times we live in, and discerning the spiritual climate. This isn’t just about watching the news; it’s about watching for the Lord’s return. Prayer is our lifeline. It’s through prayer that we remain connected to God, gaining wisdom, strength, and peace. Pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things—not by your own strength, but through His grace and mercy. [Key Point 3: Standing Before the Son of Man] Finally, the ultimate goal is to stand before the Son of Man—Jesus Christ. To stand before Him blameless, having done all to stand in the evil day. This is why we prepare. Not just to survive physically, but to ensure our souls are ready to meet the Lord. [Conclusion] So, my best advice to you in these last days is this: Prepare both physically and spiritually. Watch, pray, and seek to be found worthy to stand before the Son of Man. The days ahead may be dark, but we have the light of Christ guiding us. If this message has blessed you, please share it with others. And remember, the time to prepare is now." #LastDaysPreparation #SurviveEndTimes #WatchAndPray #Luke213537 #FaithInCrisis #SpiritualPreparedness #ChristianSurvivalGuide #EndTimesAdvice #BiblicalProphecy #AllAboutChanges

When we moved to our homestead this past December, we really didn't know what to do with our earth-berm home. We knew that it was supposed to be more energy-efficient, but we had no clue how to make it energy-efficient. We thought we would just move in and see tiny electric bills from that day forward. We were so disappointed when, last winter, we simply could not keep this house warm. I was miserable. I would get out of the shower and almost freeze to death before I could get dressed. Since then, we've discovered that our attic insulation was very sporadic. So, late this summer we had more insulation put in. We also recently added thermal curtains to most of the windows on the south side of the house. (The north, east, and west sides of the home are built into the ground, so if there are windows, they are the small "basement" type.) I'm pleased to say that, with the improvements that we made this year, we just recently turned on our heat for the first time two days ago, on Tuesday November 16th. Now, I never really paid attention to when we turned our heat on for the first time in our old home, but I'm pretty certain that it was well before mid-November. I've also been comparing our electric bills from our old home. I was pleased to see that this month's electric bill was $78.19 compared to this time last year at our old home at $102.41. Figured into our $78 bill now is an outdoor light with a $8+ dollar monthly fee that we didn't pay for at our old home. So, I'm pleased to be seeing a savings so far and I'm looking forward to this winter to compare last winter's bills. However, our goal is to be totally independent of the central heat at some point. We'd like to solely heat with our wood stove as we gain more experience with it and Shawn gets a larger stockpile of firewood cut. It's also taken some time to figure out how to "work" our earth-berm home. I discovered that, in the summer, I needed to open the windows as soon as the sun went down and the temperature dropped. Then, in the mornings I needed to close all the windows and curtains in order to keep the cool air trapped inside our home. It did make a difference, and fortunately, with our skylights and small northern windows, we still had enough light entering that we didn't have to use the electric lights too often. I will admit that I wasn't excited about this plan because I didn't want to feel like I was living in a cave for the entire summer's daylight hours. However, I discovered that I really spent very little time inside in the summertime. There's way too much stuff to do outside in the garden and orchard at that time of the year. So, coming inside to a cool, relatively dark home was kind of nice. In the winter, I will need to do the opposite. In the mornings once the sun comes up, I open the south-facing curtains to let the sunlight come in. Doing this helps the house to heat up. In the evenings I close all the curtains up and the heat from the sun is trapped in here to help keep us warm through the night. So far, things seem to be working well. Granted it's only November. I guess the real test will be February when it's bitter cold, but I'm optimistic.
