This week’s lesson was a super fun one for our little ones! The focus was on God’s promises, so we started by talking about a promise that we had learnt a couple of weeks before. We remember that God had made a promise to Noah to save him and his family from the flood and we saw […]

1) Welcome: 2) Songs: Start the Story Hour with the learning our names song. Go around the circle or table and introduce each child. Here is a cute little song to reinforce the idea of stars in the sky: (sing like Twinkle Twinkle) Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the night. Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are. Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are God has put you in the sky And sometimes I wonder why But it’s good t shine up there You remind me of God's Care. 3) Prayer... Ask God to work the Holy Spirit in our hearts to give us the faith to move mountains. 4) Theme: Remind the children of the theme of the unit: God works among his covenant people to prepare the world for the Savior. Hebrews 12:1&2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us… look to Jesus.” Today we are going to hear a story about Abraham. Abraham and his wife Sarah had no children, but God promised to make their descendants as many as the stars in the sky. How would God do this? Abraham had to trust in God. 5) Bible Story: Today’s Story is "Abraham" . Read pages 33-38 (R 37-42) from the Read and Learn Bible (Scholastic). 6) Text: Today’s Text is: Genesis 15:5 "...Look towards the heaven, and number the starts, if you are able to number them... So shall your descendants be." 7) Crafts: Number the stars... Here is a simple craft that small children love to do. Give each child a sheet of black or dark blue constructions paper for the "sky." Provide lots of star stickers and allow the kids to put as many stars in the sky as they like. Then, challenge the children to count the stars! Or you can use the coloring page below, and do the same idea... lots and lots of stars. Most dollar stores sell packs of about 500 star stickers in gold, silver, red and blue. Worth every penny. If you have a star punch, you could punch out stars from colored paper, for some variety. 8) Closing Prayer... say the Lord's Prayer together with the children. 9) Going Home: Sing the closing together. Then, check to see if all the children have collected their crafts and coloring sheets before they go home. Say goodbye and tell them that you enjoyed learning about God together and were happy to have them today! You were, weren’t you? 10) Optional Coloring Pages: check out www.coloring.ws/abraham.htm for some free coloring pages

Ladies and Gentleman... we officially have the first week down in the books!! And what an AMAZING week it was!! #BestFirstWeekEver!! My kiddos are just awesome. We learned a lot and laughed a lot! My own children also had a great week (aside from a quick bout of a stomach bug that kept one home for a day!). My oldest, Drew, started 1st grade. My middle, Quinn, started Kindergarten. And my toddler twins, Addy and Chase, began two-mornings-a-week preschool. Additionally, Mr. Musings from the Middle School (my husband Dennis), started a new school year, too! Phew!! My head is spinning! Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great weekend and recovering from this busy time of year. This post is mainly a pictorial of some of the goings on in my classroom this week. As we settle into our routine, I'll be back with more "meaty" posts (and hopefully some new videos, too!). One of my favorite activities from the week was this Growth Mindset lesson that I adapted from here. Basically, the kids had to create the image on top using just a piece of paper and scissors. It was NOT easy... but that's exactly the point! As the kids worked, I wrote down some of the comments I heard. Things like, "this is impossible," and "I give up!" After I let them struggle for a while, I brought them back together and discussed the activity with them. It was eye-opening to see their words. They all agreed that their attitude was too negative so of course they would never have been successful. Then we read the Growth Mindset posters hanging in our room and discussed what each one meant. I closed with this video from Khan Academy. It was a fun and powerful lesson. One of the BEST purchases I made from TpT for this school year is the Icebreakers that Rock bundle from Cult of Pedagogy. This product contains three PowerPoint activities that allow students to talk to each other in an easy, comfortable way. What is great about these is that you can use them as one, big activity, or you can break them up, showing just a few slides here and there, as "brain breaks" through out the day. That is how I used them. So, on the first day, I did a big "Find Someone Who" activity with them. This allowed all the kids to learn each other's names. Next, I assigned them all their lockers and we practiced opening the combination locks (super-stressful for these first time locker users)! After that, we did a few slides from Icebreakers that Rock. Then, we went over the syllabus. Next, a few more Icebreakers that Rock slides. After that, I handed out and went over all the paperwork that had to go home and be signed (oh, the paperwork!!!). Then, a few more slides right before lunch. And then a few more right after lunch. Next up, a tour of the building. Then a few more slides before trying our lockers again. Finally, another slide right before dismissal. It was the perfect break/filler/attention-getter/distraction to use throughout the day... actually, I used the slides throughout the whole week! Run to TpT and pick this product up today! Totally worth every penny. (Some of the slides can be done silently. I LOVED these slides!!) Of course, we had to number our notebooks to get ready for ELA next week. I always tell kids that this is the easiest, most difficult task that we do all year :) I really the love smell of a Mr. Sketch anchor poster in the morning! This year, I'm starting with Reading Nonfiction: Notice and Note Stances, Signposts, and Strategies. My thinking is that it will really help with getting started with Article of the Week. Here is one of several of the posters I'll be using to teach these strategies. I'm jumping on the #ObserveMe bandwagon! Read more about it here. I'll keep you updated on how this goes throughout the year! Okay... that is enough for now! The beach is calling my name... nothing beats September here at the Jersey Shore! Hope the back-to-school season is treating you well! I'd love to hear how your school year is going so far. Happy Teaching!!
Anyone else feel SO busy this time of year? The holidays are just around the corner.. and so are report cords and assessments out the wazoo! Sorry I've been MIA but I'm dropping in for a little Five for Friday action. Oops sorry... it's Saturday. I'm doing my best here... 1. Theme for the last few weeks has been transportation. I'm not sure on the original source of this song (if it's yours... please claim it!) The kids loved it and it was a nice way to wrap up our theme! 2. We are also wrapping up our comparing numbers unit. We made this interactive reader to show what we know! P.S. I love using interactive readers for math. Cross-Curricular for the win! This is a part of my Comparing Numbers in Kinder Unit! 3. As Report Card season approaches... I have one piece of advice. GET THESE PENS! They are amazing. The case props up in a fancy, grab any pen you want, kind of way. They don't bleed through and they DON'T dry out! I use them to color code my gradebook since there are so many assessments to keep track of. 4. My kids are really starting to work hard on reading and writing CVC words so we're diving into my Short Vowels CVC packet! A fan favorite is the Mystery Picture. You can pick up a freebie below for Short Vowel A. The pack itself comes with 8 activities for each of the vowels. 5. Lastly, we're doing a book study at my school and we're reading the most eye-opening book. I had to share!!! If you teach in a poverty-stricken district or school... this is a must read! I'm learning so much and already make shifts and changes to my teaching that are so beneficial! Oh and P.S. keep your eyes peeled today for a new product. I will be posting my Christmas Math Centers today (discounted for the first two days!) They are Christmas themed and I know that doesn't suit everyone's need, but I love Christmas so much and couldn't pass up the adorable clipart! :)

It's Saturday and I am officially on Spring Break!!! I don't like that it is so early, but I am so glad for a break! I'm linking up with Joanne to share how I survived the day before Spring Break with sixth graders. This past week, we were all wired, teachers mostly! We had benchmarks to keep our students focused! It worked for the most part. I knew Friday I would have to be creative or go crazy. I purchased this game during the big sale at the end of February. I have seen many out there, this is the BEST!!!! source This game comes with the option of using one quadrant or all four. I made all the boards and they were magically laminated in a days notice. (That never happens!) I lucked out that the aide who laminates had some extra time. As I was at home tossing and turning at 5am one morning, I started thinking, "How is this Battleship game going to work?" I don't have enough dry erase markers, I need erasers (socks in my guess), students need different colors, etc... I started panicking. Then, I thought, they can just write it down, we can use x's and o's for hits and misses. I finally just got out of bed and started my day. Am I the only teacher who brainstorms in her bed? Friday comes, first period, I explain and it all goes well! I played with a student, we had so much fun! Second period, I played again with a student, it was still fun. Third period, I didn't want to play, I had reached my fun-o-meter . So, I made a group of three. It worked! I was surprised, but they totally got it. Some of the kids didn't though. I needed to be up and moving around. In retrospect, I should have done this class with quadrant one only. But, the challenge was good for them too. My afternoon classes went beautifully. It was a little loud, but heck, they were playing a game, that's to be expected. My afternoon classes also came up with a solution for the folders falling. They used our privacy folders. I thought it was pretty smart of them to pull them out! This is how my board looked for game two. I marked all the misses and hits I guessed. This is how one of my boards looked for my ships. I only had to mark when they hit my ships. The beauty of teaching math is, it can fun. Games are PERFECT for math. Students were practicing ordered pairs. They were engaged! I was hoping for a walk through. But of course, glad it didn't happen. Plus, it was a great way to keep sane the Friday before Spring Break!!!
