This Preschool resource addresses the following: * Preschool Journal Writing activities are individualized based on each child’s special learning needs. * Initially, children write their first name three times in their journals. Children also “draw” in their journals. * Students are not provided with prompts for journals topics, but are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity to draw pictures of things that they are interested in. * Sometimes children will draw the same picture day after day and this is fine! This shows growth over time as they develop their fine motor skills and learn to add details to their drawings. * These activities provide students with the opportunity to practice their fine motor skills and to learn how to form letters and numbers correctly. * Oral communication skills are also developed as they tell an adult about their drawings and see their responses in writing. This resource provides the following: * three different journal covers with coordinating explanation for parents. Add your state's Preschool Content Standards for Writing and send home to parents. * writing rubric * child centered drawing lesson Thank you for visiting our store.

Have you ever thought of giving an interactive notebook a try in your primary classroom, but the thought seems too overwhelming? Do you have an interactive notebook resource, but are not sure
... Pinterest has kind of taken over my blogging. I am loooving all of the ideas out there. When I first started using Pinterest, there were no other teachers out there using it and classroom pics were so hard to find. Now that we have all found each other through Blogland, I am spending hours pinning away. It's kind of crazy too because it seems like we all kinda like the same things -- even outside of teaching. So I just thought I'd share some of my favorite things I have pinned lately... Obsessed with this balloon idea from Mrs. McComish at Monarch Madness. She is new to the blog scene and has some really cute classroom pictures you guys should check out. Not to mention she is having her first giveaway... $20 to Target. Cupcake Linner Ribbons?! Yes please. Totally cute and super easy to make. This idea is from Charlotte's Fancy. This site is super addicting. It's not all crafty and cutesy though. How cute would it be to get ahold of your teacher friends' class lists and make them these as a little Back to School gift. Adorable. The idea is from K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, sister) I.need.these.now. How much cuter would everything be if this bordered it?! Print Candee on Etsy of course. Not only does this look super colorful and cute... it's sooooo true... Just when you thought Shark Week was over and you were safe... And because I am hoping that I am not the only one who tortures myself by watching Criminal Minds, at night, in the dark, while I am home alone, which obviously makes me the biggest scaredy cat ever --- I leave you with this.

The full text of this tract for believers is shown below in the KJV version. The word “rapture” means “the joyous act of being transported, caught away or caught up from one place to another place.” Although this word itself is not found in the Bible, the joyous hope of believers in the Lord Jesus being transported from earth to heaven is described for us in many Scriptures. In fact, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the words “caught up” are used to speak of that time when all believers shall be taken home to heaven. This happy moment has also been called “the Lord’s coming for His people” but more often it is simply called the “rapture” because that one word so perfectly tells us what takes place when all believers are transported to their true home in heaven. The three major portions of Scripture which describe the rapture are found in John 14:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, and 1 Corinthians 15:51-56. In examining each of these portions of Scripture carefully we discover the following truths about the rapture: 1. The secret of the rapture. The rapture was not revealed in the Old Testament Scriptures. It was a mystery, or secret, hidden until the New Testament times. The Lord Jesus first spoke of it in John 14 and later the Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul revealed more of the truths about the rapture. The word “mystery” in the Bible usually refers to a truth previously not revealed (see Ephesians 3:4,5). The Old Testament Scriptures often spoke of the Lord’s coming to earth as a judge to set up His kingdom, but never directly of His coming in the air to take His people home to heaven. 2. The object of the rapture is the fulfilling of the deep desire of the Lord Jesus to have believers with Himself in heaven. “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3; John 17:24). 3. The subjects of the rapture will be all living Christians at the time of the rapture and all those who have died in Christ which includes all Old Testament saints as well as New Testament saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17). 4. The certainty of the rapture is based upon the unchanging word of God. In John 14:3 the Lord Jesus says, “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself.” In 1 Thessalonians 4:15 Paul says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord.” 5. The One who raptures or catches away believers is none other than the Lord Himself. He will not send an angel to do this for Him but “the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). 6. The call of the rapture will be the assembling shout of the Lord, the voice of the archangel and the trump of God. Only saved ones will hear that shout (1 Thessalonians 4:16). 7. The manner of the rapture is described for us in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17. The Lord Jesus will not come to earth as He will do when He comes to judge the earth at the end of the tribulation period. Dead and living saints will be “caught up together … in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.” 8. The speed of the rapture is recorded for us in 1 Cor. 15:52. “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” The word “moment” in the Greek denotes an indivisible amount of time. No unsaved person will witness this event. 9. The changes that take place at the time of the rapture will be in the bodies of believers. Their bodies will be changed to be like the body of glory which the Lord Jesus now has (Philippians 3:20,21). The spirits and souls of those who have died in Christ are now with the Lord Jesus in heaven and their bodies are asleep (see Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Philippians 1:23). The spirits and souls of these dead saints will be united with glorified bodies while the bodies of living believers will also be changed at the same moment to be like the Lord Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:51-57). “We shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2). 10. The time of the rapture is not given to us in the Scriptures. It may occur at any moment. In fact the Thessalonian believers were momentarily expecting the rapture when they lived (1 Thessalonians 1:9,10). The apostle Paul was waiting for that return. When he writes of the Christian’s hope in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, he includes himself: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up.” The rapture is very different from the Lord’s coming to earth to judge the world and set up His kingdom. That coming, which takes place after the rapture, is often called His appearing because at that time He will appear on earth. Before this appearing can occur certain events will take place as signs to show that the appearing is near. Most of these events or signs are given for us in Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians 2. But there are no signs connected with the Lord’s coming in the air to receive His people to Himself. The rapture is a signless event. There is no prophecy that has to be fulfilled before the rapture takes place. We repeat, it may take place at any moment. 11. The nearness of the rapture. As we look at world events today in the light of the Bible we see the stage being set for the appearing of the Lord Jesus. Because the rapture precedes the appearing (Revelation 3:10) we believe that the time for the rapture is very near. The Lord Jesus says three times in Revelation 22, “Behold, I come quickly” (Revelation 22:7,12, 20). 12. The response of the believer to the rapture should be as we read in Rev. 22:20, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” The reality of this response will manifest itself in our lives by separating us in heart and in spirit from the world and worldly things and by compelling us to tell others the good news of the gospel. (See 1 John 3:3; 2 Timothy 4:5.) 13. Finally, the blessing of the rapture will be that we shall “ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). —John D.
