This activity comes with two parts - the treasure hunt & the goals lesson Treasure Hunt Directions: 1. Cover 10 pieces of candy for each player with the candy wrappers. Each child should have 1 candy for each treasure map item. 2. Place all the pieces (1 for each participant) for each category in a bowl. 3. Hide/Spread these bowls out. If I were in an LDS church, I would spread these out across classrooms… hidden if possible. 4. Place the "treasure hunt clues" nearby to help guide the children to the treasure hunt pieces, like the holy ghost 5. Give children the “Treasure Map” and a Ziploc bag and instruct them to go get 1 piece for each item on their map. They may be tempted to take more than 1 piece... but remember we should always choose the right! 6. Once all pieces have been collected, meet back for a Goal Setting Lesson. Give them the “congratulations” scroll. Goal Setting Lesson Directions: 1. Give everyone who completed the treasure hunt, the “congratulations” scroll. 2. “Scripture Poster” - Put the two pages with the Luke 2:52 scripture together ( will need to cut of fold extra margin) and post up where everyone can see it. 3.Cut the words on this page out and have ask 4 volunteers to place these words in their correct place on the scripture poster. 4. Post up the four goal categories and make sure all children understand the different categories. Ask for examples of goals for each category (hint: there are some ideas in the back of the guidebook) 5. Post up the four growth patterns (discover, plan, act, reflect). Use the included “children’s goal setting” page to help go ever each pattern. 6. Point out that we also need to be working on memorizing and understand the articles of faith and living my gospel standards, which are both found at the back of the guidebook. 7. Pass out the “Children’s Goal Setting” page for children to bring home to their patents. The included files: 1. "TreasureMap.pdf" - 2 per page. Print this map once for every two children. 2.

Ever since I was a kid, I have had a deep fascination with the tools that help build entire worlds. As a boyscout, knives were always sold to us as a tool to be thoughtfully handled and well looked after. They had the potential for danger, and needed to be used wiesely.I remember going up to the local Ace store in my hometown to look at the Case brand knife display, and now we’re proud to have a Solid Brass 420 SS pressed sharpened blade with our logo engraved at the helm.Inscribed with our brand slogan Venture Onward on one side, with a friendly reminder on the other..”May all that I do, and all that I say, be used for the good and never dismay.” A lessen to the younger child in me, and hopefully to the holders out there, that the tools we wield are not always used to build, but can be mishandled and become tools of destruction.Featuring a kickback knife, a catch latch, and a full length blade, this is a Mercator knife.Mercator K55K was a pocket knife invented in 1867 and is still very much in production today. Normally with a cat on one side, and a K55K stamping - paying homage to its original roots. The Mercator is an often found original piece among many collectors, including ourselves. Many soldiers brought these back home from World War II during which time they gained a lot of popularity for the multi-purpose solid construction. We wanted to harken back to its roots, while keeping true to our own vision.Measurements and specs:Tip of blade: 0.8mmDepth of blade: .35mmWidth of blade 1.5cmHelm width 2cmTotal length when closed: 4.7inchesTotal length when opened: 8.2inchesWeight: 89 GramsBlade steel: 420 SSHandle metal: Solid BrassLimited run available.

Try these simple paper tricks that seem like magic! All you need is a little paper, tape and scissors to wow your friends and family.

Are ya'll familiar with the Japanese holiday called Children's Day? I think sometimes my students are convinced that everyday is Children's Day which is why nearly every night is Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day for this art teacher. But I digress. The real Children's Day is celebrated in Japan on the 5th day of May which, in case you didn't know, is the 5th month. It's a day set aside to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness. Which, seriously, that part should be everyday in an art room, don't you think? On this day, all children fly a carp kite called a koinobori on a flag pole, along with the koinobori of those in their family. The father's koinobori is usually at the top, followed by the mother with the children's kites, from oldest to youngest, flown below. I had big visions of flying the kids' koinobori outside of our school for the occasion and for our upcoming art show (which is in 10 days, people! Not that I'm freaking out at all). However, we had some pretty Big, Bad and Ugly weather at the start of last week that lead me to believe that keeping these lovelies inside would be a better bet. The last time I hung something in these windows, it was a pretty big hit so I thought I'd do it again with our koinobori. Along with a sign, of course. Otherwise everyone just thought they were super cool fish kites. Which they are but there's also a super cool story behind them as well. So just how did my friends in First Grade Land create these awesome koinobori? Dude, it was so super easy and, like, the World's Fastest Art Project (which for me is a total rarity). Here's a list of the supplies we used: Roylco's Japanese Carp Wind Sock Kit For about $8, you can get your kitten mittens on a set of 24 die-cut fish with tag board strips that get glued into the mouths (if you look at the orange fish above, you'll see the tag board propping open the mouth.) Sharpies. This is optional. I had the kids use these to add details that they wanted to remain permanent. Watercolor Paint. Boy, talk about an End-of-the-School-Year-We-Are-Almost-Outta-Supplies Limited Palette, ya'll. But, we're artists, kids! We can make do! Or something like that. A Spray Bottle Full of Water. Yarn. Hole Punch. How the lesson went down: My kids have been learning about Asia, with an emphasis on Japan, all year. In fact, we'd just finished off this sushi lesson not long ago and had just completed making a ceramic koi fish. I needed a short and quick tie-in lesson while our clay projects dried and fired. These koinobori were just the perfect thing. After chatting about Children's Day, the kids were given a tray of warm and cold colored Sharpie markers. We chatted about the parts of a fish (fins, gills, scales, tail, etc.) and how we might emphasize those with either warm or cool colored Sharpies. That took up our first 30 minute session. For the next 30 minute session, we reviewed correct use of water color paint (which obviously doesn't include cleaning the tray, ew!). I also told the kids that they were again to use warm or cool colors but that they didn't have to stick with the same color family as they used last art class. Once the kids had collected their supplies (a paint brush and two ziplock bags -- the two things I forgot to mention in that above supply list, doh!), they were to raise their hand and I came over and squirted their fish with water. Because the paper is made from the same stuff as coffee filters, a wee spritz of water really helps the water color paint to spread out. The kids thought that was pretty rad. Once the kids had painted their entire fish, they were given the option of splatter painting. I don't think a single kid opted out of that one. To dry, the kids gingerly carried their zip locked fish to the floor. The reason I kept the bags on the bottom was that I found that the color will often run off the paper and on to the surface that it is sitting on. However, if the paper is allowed to "sit in it's own juices" so to speak, it dries much more vibrant. Now, normally, I woulda had the kids add the tag board and attempt to tie the string. But I was in a bit of a time crunch. So I set aside about 15 minutes every afternoon to hot glue the tag board at the top, hot glue it into a tube, hole punch the top and add the yarn. By the end of the week, I had all of my classes finished. To hang, I bent a paper clip so that it looked like some sort of scary prison shank and stuck it into the foamy ceiling tie. I added the top fish to that paper clip. Then I hole punched the bottom of that fish and added a bent paper clip to that hole where I attached the second fish. If I'm not making any sense it's because I'm deep into that aforementioned Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day and I simply cannot be held accountable for my incoherentness. I managed to get 'em all up and ready for Monday, May 5th on Friday. I can't wait for the kids (and the grown kids) to see them and celebrate all things children -- especially during our standardized testing week! Until next time, enjoy Children's Day! Or Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day. Your choice.

We were wanting to keep better track of which primary kids were passing off their Articles Of Faith.... so I made this Pass Off Tracking Sheet.

MLK Day is right around the corner and we've been busy trying to find some last minute {and simple!} ideas that you can use in the classroom as you and your kiddos explore the life and legacy of this important historical figure! * * * The story of Dr. King offers a powerful example of how one person who stands up for what they believe in/what is right can make a difference. As you explore the life of Martin Luther King Jr this January - his ideals, his hopes, and his impact - empower your students with the knowledge that, they too, have the power to make a difference in their families, their school/community, and even the world! Constructing a dream mobile is a great way to help your students make a meaningful connection with the holiday as well as instill this very idea! We found two variations of the dream mobile and either project would make a fabulous addition to your MLK Day lessons! Individual Dream Mobile Photo Source: Mrs. Prince & Co. Leanne over at Mrs. Prince & Co. has her kiddos create individual mobiles, writing about their dreams for their school, community, and world. If you're interested in completing this project, she offers the mobile printables for FREE over at her blog, so set-up is sure to be easy peasy! Collaborative Dream Mobile Photo Source: 4th Grade Frolics Tara of 4th Grade Frolics invites her students to work together to create a class mobile displaying their dreams for the world. Invited to think about various topics - freedom, equality, fairness, unity, etc. - students wrote about what these dreams might look like and their hopes for the world! Here's a picture of the completed mobile... Photo Source: 4th Grade Frolics Of course, these projects were initially used with second and fourth grade students, so keep this in mind when tweaking the activity for your preschoolers!
