It's back! The Homeschool Attendance Record for 2021-2022 is here!

Hello Everyone! Thanks for stopping by! I have to tell you, I am loving this whole blogging thing. I hope to learn how to upload some of my printables very soon. Check back again for things like that! There were two activities that ended up being our favorites today! The first one is math related. We have been working on "area" of shapes. The kids have really caught on to simple area, so I decided to challenge them a bit. I gave them a piece of one inch grid paper. They had to use the squares to create one of the animals we have been studying. After a practice sheet, they had to recreate it with markers on a new piece. When finished, they had to document the area of their animal. Fantastic job kids!!! By the look on their faces, I know they were enjoying every minute of it!! Take a look!! practicing area with animal shapes It's a moose, of course! Cute Coyote! Sweet Skunk!! Terrific Turtle! Our next favorite thing was learning about fireflies!!! Fascinating insects! After reading some of our favorite firefly books and poems, enjoying interaction with a firefly in a jar, we practiced the firefly lifecycle, wrote a list of things that also light up the night sky (sorry I don't have a pic of that) and then worked on a craft connection. The kids were given a paper jar to cut out...tricky cutting out the inside! :) The jars were laminated and the film was left in the middle. We then fingerprinted the wings of fireflies with glow in the dark neon paint. Add a silver sharpie body and voila!! So cute!! The kids had a ball!! We will hang these from the ceiling!! Have you seen these?? Battery operated firefly in a jar!! LOOOOOOVE IT!! Click here for your copy! :) Glowing fireflies in a jar! Another awesome day in first grade!!! Thanks for taking a peek!! Have a Glowing tomorrow!! Joyfully! Nancy

Check out this free printable Pangaea puzzle for when you are teaching geography. It is super interesting to talk about the possibility of Pangaea. Many secular historians think that a long, long time ago (they think millions of years ago), the continents were not continents but one body; like a supercontinent of land on Earth. While Pangaea is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the Bible does present the possibility of a Pangaea. Some views really provide a viable explanation for how humanity and animals were able to migrate to continents now separated by vast oceans. It is a very intriguing subject to discuss with the kiddos.
I absolutely love teaching bible class. I took a break for a while due to a crazy schedule, but I'm glad to say that I'm back in it this quarter. Teaching bible class to little ones is a weekly reminder of how much I love teaching. I'm so glad to be a part of sharing
