We've been learning about our bodies the last few weeks! It's crazy how much some of my kids already know about their bodies. We've talked different organs like our hearts, lungs & brains. We've also talked about what we need to do to keep these healthy. I found some great short video clips on YouTube about different things in our bodies. They're titled "Learn about Human Body Parts for Kids" and there are a bunch of them! about the heart, lungs, skeleton, skin, tongue, brain, liver, kidney, stomach.....you name it and they probably have it. They're only about 2 minutes long (which, let's face it - is perfect for our youngsters!) and they teach great concepts. I grabbed this freebie from Little Miss Kindergarten: They are adorable and my kids LOVED coloring them and deciding what was good for our bodies and what wasn't the best. There are both a girl and boy skeleton to grab. Just click on the picture to go straight to her blog and grab them. Also, my brother recently came into town to visit us for a few days. He is currently a nurse and offered to come in and teach my kids some fun facts about their bodies. Of course, my sweet husband also came and together they did a great amazing job!! They taught my kids that our lungs are like balloons. When we breath in, they get big and when we breath out they get small again. They let my Kinders listen to their resting heart beat with their stethescopes, then after exercising and jumping around for a few minutes, listen to them again and hear the difference. They demonstrated when we have light in our eyes, our pupils get smaller: and also when our knees are tapped with a soft hammer, they have a reflex and move! Needless to say, they had a blast! This week I'm planning on teaching them a song to the tune of the "Macarena" - labeling bones in their bodies. You can sing it multiple times and each time get faster and faster. It goes like this: Tarsal (point to foot) Tibia (bone towards the inside, below knee) Fibula (bone outside, below knee) Patella (kneecap) Femur (bone above knee) Pelvis (hip bone) Ribs and Sternum. (where ribs join in center of chest) Carpals (wrist) Ulna (bone on arm- same side as pinky finger) Radius (bone on arm- same side as thumb) Humerus (arm above elbow) And....here's my cranium! (skull) We're also going to attempt to make these: We'll see how they turn out! Last, but definitely not least....I made a "Number Surgery" math center that I'd like to share with all of you! My kids had SO much fun pretending to be a Doctor! I highly recommend letting them dress the part. I got tweezers, gloves & masks for them to wear while performing "surgery" and of course had to take a couple million pictures of them! The bones are "broken" and they have to put them back together by finding the right answer. There are: adding and subtracting doubles adding and subtracting 1 adding and subtracting 0 Afterwards they get to record their results on their clipboard (because that's what Doctors do, right?) I am so excited to share this center with you all. Please leave me feedback and follow my blog and I'll make sure to keep giving you freebies. Click the picture below to grab your copy! I hope you're all having a great week! Melissa I've linked up with:

Hey everyone, I hope this finds you well. I only have a small amount to show off this week. I have been furiously working on a project from one of the Facebook groups, All About Beadweaving. The challenge was to make an amulet bag. The challenge started in the beginning of April. I designed the pattern and decided that since it was going to be a bit big that I would use small 15/0 seed beads. My inchies are 11/0's. Last year on my blog I posted a pattern showing the differences in the sizes of Delica beads that I use. Remember this? The first tiny square is the 15/0 and the second one is the 11/0 that I use. See the difference in sizes. So I figured that using the 15's would take off about a fourth of the size, Great idea, right? I thought so. So I ordered all the beads for the amulet bag (spent quite a bit on them!). Then I had to wait for the beads to get here so I started the K-cycle. Once I was into that then all other projects were on hold, except my inchies and twinchies. The beads came in and I went to work. Got about 1/4th of the way done on the first side and had to stop to do a commission piece for a friend. Finally I got to get back to it and guess what? Well, I am gonna tell you since I know you wont guess it. I would not have guessed it if I had tried. Somehow the beads that I spent so much money and time on seemed to be gritty on the inside of the beads and as I was beading I either broke a bead or the thread! I was so mad that I had to walk away for about a week. By now it is June 12th. Did I forget to mention that the challenge ends July 1st. Oh yea, theres that! So I put my crafty big gurl pants on and got to it. I had to start all over with 11's. I know that it will be bigger than I want but it will be sturdy and wont break. So I just finished the first side today. I still have to do the back side, the necklace and the fringe, which will be 5 feathers. Wish me luck haha. After all of this I decided that I deserved a party, well Every Inchie Monday agreed with me, since the theme this week is Party! If you have been reading my blog for some time you know that when I get the next years list at the end of the previous year I go to work designing patterns. I have to make sure that I have the beads and that I can get the pattern done in time for the due date. So my patterns are designed many months in advance, but they are beaded up the week they are due. So last year when I got this theme I just knew what I was going to design. It just seems slightly timely. I decided to make the year 1999. Beaded in purple. All for the late singer Prince. Who knew when I designed it last year that he would be gone by this time. Crazy how that happens, and it has happened more than once. So without further ado here is my inchie. I used 2 colors of Delicas hope you like it and as Wayne would say, "Party on!" Have a blessed an creative day my friends. Don't forget to fly on over to EIM and 2x2x2 to check out the amazing art and the upcoming themes.
