I've got a Spaceman Freebie but first, I have some new products added to my Teachers Pay Teachers store: ⤤ SUPER EASY to implement - GREAT for the first weeks of school!!!! Click on the pictures to check them out or click HERE to visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store and click HERE to get a FREE kit each month!! Wonder how many times I've had to remind students to use spaces between words when writing? Maybe a million! I've been wanting some "spacemen" to help students remember to use those spaces, so I decided to make some. If you would like to make some too, I have a free download for you right here: {Click here or on the picture to download} BTW, I post a lot of freebies on my blog - if you don't want to miss any of them, make sure to click on this button follow me on bloglovin': There are a couple of ways to do this - the easiest would be to print on cardstock, laminate, and cut into strips. They can be used this way, might get a little worn after a while but it would be easy enough to replace them each school year. To make them super sturdy, I wanted to make mine to fit on large craft sticks (the kind sized 6 inches x 3/4 inch). I bought these at Walmart: I tried using Mod Podge at first, and that worked good, but I realized I had a MUCH easier way to do it so I broke out my trusty Xyron machine with the laminate/permanent adhesive cartridge: This: That's the smaller one, that works just as good, I have the larger one here: I got mine years ago and it's a lot cheaper now! I loaded in the printout of Spacemen... and out they came, laminated with permanent adhesive on the back. Then I just cut out on the lines (I used my paper cutter) and peeled the backing off to stick on the craft stick. I have these sized to fit the craft sticks exactly with just a little extra on the top and bottom. I made that extra space on purpose - here's a little trick to trim off that top and bottom and make it perfectly molded to the stick. Use a fingernail file! Just use a downward motion pressing the file to the stick where the paper is hanging over. It files the paper and laminate away and shapes it to the edges of the stick: Now they are ready to use!!
Annie Costume: The costume that I made Ruth for Halloween turned into an outfit that was well worn and well loved.
When I was a child, my idea of a treat beyond measure was butterscotch Angel Delight, a chemical-tasting mousse in a packet, made by whisking milk into its tipped-out contents of flour, flavourings and God knows what else; my fondly remembered love of which says more about the romance of nostalgia than it does about the pudding itself. Still, inspiration comes in many forms, and this one has created a silky, richly smooth caramel custard pudding, with something childishly comforting about it.

English is so weird—yet writers use it to craft incredible beauty. Have you fallen in love with language, with words, with a perfectly-turned sentence?

Aaron and I signed our marriage certificate with a contraption he made a few years ago that makes it look like you're writing with your own blood. He got the idea from my job (editors "bleed all over the page").
This is a folding fan with blossom themed design. The size of this piece makes it perfect to carry in your handbag and use anywhere when it's really hot! What can you do with a hand fan or when to use it? - When it's too hot outside: summer weddings, parties, events, tennis matches, etc. - To be a fashion queen! - To send secret messages!!! (For example: Fully open the hand fan = "Wait for me"; Move the hand fan around the cheek = "I love you") - As decorations to hang on a wall or display - To dance flamenco, olé! The hand fan is made of natural wood, lacquer several times with water-based lacquer (so the wood becomes nice to the touch) and white polyester fabric, which I decorate with a decoupage technique using paper napkins, fixed with lacquer. All the materials I use are water-based (odorless and eco-friendly) and I guarantee durability. Measurements: (width x height) Open: 17 x 9 inches (43 cm x 23 cm) Closed: 1.6 x 9 inches (4 cm x 23 cm)

Deep Quote: I’m okay with your history. It made you who you are. And I happen to be in love with who you are. – S.C. Stephens The post I’m Okay with Your History appeared first on Live Life Happy.
Why has this seemingly gloomy poem gone viral?
Although I first came up with this recipe because I had someone coming for supper who — genuinely — couldn't eat wheat or dairy, it is so meltingly good, I now make it all the time for those whose life and diet are not so unfairly constrained, myself included. It is slightly heavier with the almonds — though not in a bad way — so if you want a lighter crumb, rather than a squidgy interior, and are not making the cake for the gluten-intolerant, then replace the 150g ground almonds / 1½ cups almond meal with 125g plain flour / ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. This has the built-in bonus of making it perhaps more suitable for an everyday cake. Made with the almonds, it has more of supper-party pudding feel about it and I love it still a bit warm, with some raspberries or some such on the side, as well as a dollop of mascarpone or ice cream. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
A lovely, tangy, lemon cake with a crumble-like topping.
We're still hacking through the parts of speech in my class. We've finished nouns, verbs, adverbs, and we're almost through adjectives. I spend about 10 minutes a day reviewing parts of speech (part of our word work). I always try to mix things up for my students. I'm lucky enough to have only 20 students this year, but of these 20, 15 are boys, 5 have I.E.P.s (with another 2 on waiting lists to be tested), and 6 have behaviour issues (and that's on a good day) - whew!. Needless to say, I HAVE to mix things up, keep things structured, yet fun, and engage them in hands-on activities as much as possible. For each part of speech we co-create anchor charts (I "borrowed" this idea for adjectives from a chart I saw on pinterest, but my students think they came up with it themselves). For their independent Word Work, I'm using the book Hot Fudge Monday - they LOVE the funny activities, and I LOVE that they actually WANT to complete the work. We also use the SMARTboard a lot so they can circle and highlight the various words on the board - and sometimes I even let them use the magic pen. ;) They also really enjoyed the poster activity we did on "Life is a Verb" (see last post). I'll have to tie something like this into each unit - it would be great to have real student created posters for each of the parts of speech. But I've got a surprise for them tomorrow. They LOVE using my Comprehension Cootie Catchers for pair share activities after their independent reading. And I mean LOVE - I've never seen a bunch of boys so excited about using cootie catchers. So, I made a Cootie Catcher Parts of Speech package for them. This activity contains a cootie catcher for common nouns, proper nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. I'll pair up two students, each with a different cootie catcher, and they can take turns identifying the correct words. I may even turn it into a little game WITH a timer going on the SMARTboard. Watch out, boys .... I told you learning can be FUN! I just posted this activity to my TPT store. Click on the picture above to preview the activity. And ... for a little extra fun, I'll send a FREE copy to the first two people to leave me a comment (with their email address) telling me their favourite way to review parts of speech. Happy Wednesday!
The procedures are taught, the students know your expectations, but you still find yourself repeating directions over and over again. Use Mystery Students!
Lizzy Whimsy adds wonderful captions to historical art to make them more relatable. And funnier! Redditor jerip123 collected the images of George Washington together to make a narrative album of the Father of Our Country acting like an everyday guy. There’s also a running gag about his wife Martha, who wants more children. You can see 33 of these panels at imgur and more of George's adventures at Rally 'Round the History. -via reddit...
Advertising was designed, at least back in the 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression, to salve (not solve) all earthly problems with the sweet lotion of dreams. Even Brillo, the household lubricated cleansing pad, sought to transform the daily drudge into a brilliant (i.e. Brillo) world where cleaning was better, easier and faster. Since it was the Depression, it didn’t matter how many pots and pans were made to look new, more important was how to pay for the pots
Charles Bukowski's stories and love poems contain the kind of passionate love quotes most women are yearning to hear their lovers' share.
