Get the kids inspired with these 16 fantastic different and easy things you can create using ordinary playdough.
Today was Presidents Day. Unlike some lucky teachers who got to stay home, I had to go to work today. We had a full day of workshops. On top of that, we ended up getting 5+ inches of snow this morning. It started in the morning and it fell hard and fast! My first part of the morning was spent learning how to do my web page. I loved that we were walked through...step by step...how to set up our pages. We then had to go our home school to work with our PLC's on goals that we set. I am excited that I will be doing Reader's Theater with my group. I found these fun plays from Kristin at A Teeny Tiny Teacher. I am so excited to use them. After lunch, we spent the rest of the day at another school in our district. We listened to Steve Dunn talk about writing. My head is spinning with all the great ideas that he gave us. I loved that he gave us examples and ideas of how to teach writing in our classroom. I can't wait to go back to my classroom and try some of the things that he shared with us. The afternoon went by so fast! Tonight I created some different writing papers that I want to use during Writer's Workshop based off the ideas that he gave us. This paper is meant to be used for kindergartners who are in their beginning stages of writing. They will draw a picture in the box and then write their sentences below it. This paper is meant to be used for kindergartners in January and first graders throughout the school year. The page on the left side of their journal will have the box on it. That way when they are done writing, they can go to the next page and still see their picture. Finally, this paper is meant for first graders and higher. Students will draw pictures of what happens in the beginning, middle and end of their stories. The boxes are on the left side of their journal and the extra lines are on the right side so they can still see the pictures. You can find all these papers HERE. I hope you find them helpful to you. I hope you had a great day! Sara

When you plan a spy party or a spy game for the kids at home you want to add some mystery and a crime solving activity that will get the kids excited. This post is a continuation of my other post about planning and organizing a spy party and the same ideas in this post can be used for a fun spy activity for the kids at home that will keep them busy for at least an hour. You can make the clues harder to crack to get them engaged for longer :) In this spy game, crooks had stolen the kids goodie bags (or any other prize) and hidden them somewhere, for the other members of their gang to collect later. The crooks left behind 10 clues for their mates to help lead them to the loot. Now the secret agents must crack those clues to find the loot before the rest of the gang comes to get it. Hand the kids this secret agent mission file before they go on their mission. You can edit the text easily. Let the kids get into their secret agent roles -- find 'spy' accessories such as hats, sunglasses, black jacket ..etc and let the kids wear them before they go on their mission. Below is a list of 10 spy game clues. You can use them as is, edit them, use only some of them, or add more – it all depends on your preferences and how long you want your spy game to last. Here are more details about each clue and how to prepare them (I promise it's easy!!). You don't have to get the designed printable, you can print or hand-write the clues on a piece of paper as in the example below. Clue 1 Come on, secret agents, let’s waste no time! We have to get busy solving this crime. Put the puzzle pieces together and what will it say? You’ll have the first clue to finding the way. Print out or hand-write a description of the next hiding place (such as “Look under the middle cushion of the sofa” or “Go open the closet door and look on the inside of it”) and cut it into pieces, making a puzzle. The kids put the puzzle pieces together to find the next hiding place. Clue 2 Nice work, secret agents. You found this clue.I'm sure you know the next thing to do. Use the special agent invisible ink pen lightTo read the next hidden clue, which is written in white. For this clue write directions to the next hiding place using an invisible ink pen. The kids need to use the light of the invisible ink pen (or any light) in order to read the clue. If you don't have an invisible ink pen (you can get them on Amazon!) then you can create your own invisible ink and simply edit the wording of clue 2. Clue 3 These nasty criminals may think they have won But you, secret agents, will show them how it’s done!The crooks hid the next clue inside a blue balloonBut use the orange peel juice to pop it, and you’ll move on soon. This clue is quite cool, as it involves some knowledge of science. Explain that only secret agents know that the limonene in an orange peel will pop a balloon. The young secret agents need to find orange peel (make sure you have oranges at home) and squeeze it on the balloon to pop it. They find that inside it was clue number 4. When you prepare this clue you should print out the directions to the next clue, put them inside a blue balloon (or any colour balloon, just change the text in Clue 3 above) and let the kids blow up the balloon. I used this trick many times before. Watch how it's done here: Clue 4 Secret agents, how extremely well done!You now need a mirror to solve this next one. Wow, you’re getting closer, we’re so proud of youUsing a mirror you will find your next hidden clue. You will need to print the the next hiding place in mirror / reverse text and let the kids use a mirror to read the text and find it. Here is a simply explanation how to do so in Word: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/reverse-mirror-text-microsoft-word/ It should look like that (try cracking it with a mirror): I hid Clue 5 in the corridor, but you can change the hiding place to anywhere you’d like. Clue 5 The next clue is hidden under something with 4 legs.To solve it you’ll have to think hard and use your heads. To narrow things down just one tiny bit,This clue is hidden under a place where we sit. This clue was intended to be very general and make the kids search everywhere around the house for a chair that has a clue glued to the underside of the seat. It was quite fun and great team work, as all the kids collaborated to search in different places, in order to find this specific chair with the clue. Clue 6 Secret agents you are almost doneAnswer all the questions one by oneCombine the first letters of each answerTo find your next secret clue faster Ask some questions about your family or general knowledge that they can search on Google, all depends on the kids age. Make the first letter of each answer combined lead to the new clue. Clue 7 Secret agents you must move fast without fearThe criminals’ mates will soon be back hereCompare the 2 photos, have a close lookThe difference will tell you where next to look Clue 7 is also very fun and you can think of many ways of doing it. Take 2 photos of the same thing. The two photos are identical, except for one difference that should give the young agents a clue about the next hiding place. I took 2 identical photos of my kids, except that in one of them the birthday boy’s brother wasn’t wearing a coat. The next clue was hidden in his coat pocket. Clue 8 Secret agents, you guys really rock!You are going to give the bad guys a shockIf you place the postcard decoder on top of this card Finding the next hidden clue shouldn’t be hard Okay, this clue is also very cool. You’ll need to create a word cloud that also contains the hiding place of your next clue. Then create a postcard decoder -- a piece of paper with bits of it cut out in the right places, so that when it is placed on top of the word cloud it reveals the directions to the next hiding place. In the image above, the word cloud is on the right and on the left you see how it looks when the postcard decoder is placed on top of it. This is how they found out that their next clue is under the middle table. Clue 9 You have 10 minutes left till the crooks will appearYou can finish this quickly, secret agents, have no fearUse the secret cipher to find your last clue here: xxxxx xxxx Clue 9 is a sort of a riddle to direct them to the entry (of the hall/your house, this could be change to any other place you wish). They will need the password cipher to decode part of the message (the word 'entry door' encrypted in the message above). Once they decode it, it will be clear that the next hiding place is somewhere on or next to the house's entry door. You can edit the encrypted words in the spy game clues design. The kids will need the password cipher card to decode the encrypted words. Clue 10 You made it secret agents, you have the key!Now wait for your fellow agents a minute or three Because in order to frighten the criminals and scare them awayYou all must shout out loud: Happy Birthday! Hurray! That's it, they did it! You can hand out the goodie bags that they found. Looking for some great ideas for your child's spy party? read this article about fun spy party ideas.

Wow! I cannot believe it is December already! I LOVE this month! I have gotten almost all of my Christmas shopping done and can really concentrate on the fun at school now without being stressed at home about trying to get it all done. This past weekend was a busy one for me! My good camera broke so I ended up getting an early birthday and Christmas present for myself! This is what I got for me! It's a step up from my old camera and I can use all the same lens that I used before! I am back in business of taking pictures in my classroom and at home. I am excited about it!!! This week is my birthday. I will be saying good-bye to my 30's and hello to my 40's. I hope my 40's are as much fun as my 30's were. I was told I needed to wear cheaters last week, so I am not sure how to feel about all the new health ailments I will be experiencing! I started my birthday week by eating at the Cheesecake Factory. On Wednesday I will be going to Benihana's, Thursday I will be celebrating with friends and on Saturday my twin sister and I will be having a family birthday party! Bring on the fun! :) Over the weekend I also spent some time at a benefit for a little girl that goes to my school. She is in 3rd grade and has Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). I was amazed at the turnout. Not only were there tons of people there to support the family, but I got to have my picture taken with this guy! Mike Delfino from Desperate Housewives was there and auctioned a lunch date with himself off. They also raised money by having pictures taken with him. It's a pretty crappy picture of me...but he looks amazing!! :) On to our week at school.... This week we are going to be taking our First Graders to go see the play Little Red Riding Hood at Old Log Theater. To prepare for seeing the play, we have been reading lots of different versions of Little Red Riding Hood. Thank goodness I read ahead. I had to change the words to this version... Litte Red Riding Hood. I am not sure I wanted to explain to my kiddos what wine was why she was bringing wine to her granny. I just changed it to apple cider. :) We will be talking about characters in the story, the setting, events in the story, the problem and solution. We will be reading each story and recording all of these things on a big grid. We will talk about all the differences in each story. Below you will find some freebies that you can use in your classroom if you would like. Have a great week! We will be reading several different versions of the book Little Red Riding Hood and then filling out this form. We will talk about different story elements. You can get it here....Little Red Riding Hood 1 Little Red Riding Hood 2 I cut these pictures apart. We then looked at the pictures and matched them with the words. You can get it here... Little Red Riding Hood 3 Finally, at the end of the week, I will be giving them this worksheet to see if they can match the picture/sentence with the story element. You can get it here... Little Red Riding Hood 4 Have a great week!!!
