Light up your backyard with these glowing orbs of twine. Words and photos: Sheryl Burson Fairy lights don’t have to be simply strung along a fence or door frame. These rustic globes will brighten up an outdoor living space or a vertical garden, and can easily be moved around depending on the season and décor needs. They’re easy to make, too (though gluey twine can bring back memories of sticky-fingered days of kindy). If you wish to use your orbs in a shady place, use battery-powered fairy lights. They can then be moved around without concern for the sun. However,

(Looking over the craft now, I think that series inspired the design of these dragons!) Alright, let's make ourselves a paper plate dragon! (Psst- Don't have paper plates? You can still make a cute paper dragon. Find the directions and FREE printable here.) First I folded the plate in half and traced the body. (You can make your own design, or just use my dragon template !) Then, I cut out the head and tail pieces from the excess material. We also folded down our wings. Then, I slid the head and tail pieces between our body pieces and stapled everything together. Then, we went wild and used our favorite paints and Sharpie Markers to decorate our dragons! Here's the one that I made.... and here's the rainbow one that my son painted! More Dragon Crafts.... And if you're looking for more dragon crafts, check out the links below!

Sweet mamas, you share God’s love with your kids simply by being there! By giving them hugs and kissing their booboos and not freaking out when they draw on the couch cushions (haha).

How many times a day do your students ask you what they should do when they're finished? A MILLION. :) You gotta love em' for not just sitting there doing nothing while they wait, but sometimes I just kinda REALLY don't want to hear "what can I do now?". I made these fast finisher cards to hang on my board after I explain each independent activity. Click {HERE} to download these When they finish the independent activity, I have them look at the board and see what I've posted. Then, they can grab that fast finisher and work on a meaningful activity while the rest of the students finish up. I always go through each activity separately at the beginning of the year and throughout the year. I GO OVER MY EXPECTATIONS. This part of it is super important. Explanation for each fast finisher: Read a book: I have books in a bin right next to each table {so I don't have wandering kiddos} and they can choose a book from there {these are separate from their book boxes for Daily 5}. Marker boards: I have marker boards {shower board bought and cut at Lowes}, erasers {wash cloths}, and markers on a shelf. They can also grab a bag of flash cards and write the words from their flash cards {or even spelling or sight words}. Puzzles: I bought tons of puzzles from the Dollar Store and my kiddos love doing them {I hardly ever let them do this one...only if the are REALLY good ;) }. I cut the top of the box off {with the picture}, stick them in a ziploc and call it GOOD! :) File Folder Games: Over the years I have made lots of file folder games. They aren't my favorite, but the kids love them. You can find some {here} for free at Kindergarten, Kindergarten and {here} for sale at DJ Inkers. ABC Games: Our team has OODLES of Lakeshore ABC games. They are great...minus all of the dang.tiny.pieces I find ALL OVER! :) 100's chart: I have a class set of 100's charts that are in page protectors so the kiddos can write with dry-erase markers on them. You can grab my free 100's chart {here}. Fast Finisher Folder: I haven't quite made these, but I'm going to for sure! Teacher Tipster is the one who introduced me to them and you can see that video {here}. Math Game: You know ALL of those fun math games you've been laminating, cutting, and putting in a million ziplocs? You know....the ones you got from all of the fabulous blogs out there? USE THEM! :) What else do you have your kiddos do for fast finishers {I'd love to get more ideas!!!!!}? Clipart &/or fonts copyright DJ INKERS Images copyright Thistle Girl Designs
