Holy shamoley. I have been busy! It’s crazy how a new month sneaks up on you so fast! I’ve heard your e-mails and requests for the new calendar songs, and here they are! Monday and Tuesday of this week we are in professional development in our district. This morning we were “Google-ized” and learned about all of the fun Google apps we can use in our classroom. This afternoon, we were in literacy breakout sessions. In one of the sessions that I went to, they talked about this book: They showed a video clip from the DVD that accompanies the book of some guided writing. In the clip the teacher had a great little anchor chart to help kiddos that were struggling to find the right vowel sound. I knew instantly that I needed to re-create that chart! So, here you go! There is a large chart to hold up and a smaller one for kiddos to put in their writing folder. Hey, friends, leave a little comment when you download They make me so happy!

"And having done all, to stand firm." - Ephesians 6:13 When we’ve done everything we know to do in the Lord, it’s time to just stand firm in our faith. We’ve prayed consistently, served God’s people, studied the scriptures, and shared our faith among other things. Yet, the waves of trials and tribulations attempt to pull us from God’s purposes. We will be tempted to step back into our comfort zone. Our flesh will cry out for relief from the pressure. How should we S-T-A-N-D on the solid Rock of Jesus Christ regardless of the storms?....
We crafted this plush rocking chair with nursing mothers’ needs in mind. The padded head rest is extra supportive, and the winged back and smaller armrests offer more shoulder and elbow space. HOW IT IS CONSTRUCTED Thickly padded and tightly upholstered in 100% aniline-dyed leather. Leather has an aged patina and feels soft and smooth with a glossy finish.Expertly crafted with a kiln-dried hardwood and engineered wood frame and extra-thick padding on the arms and back.Sturdy hardwood runners provide smooth, quiet motion.Solid wood frame uses mortise-and-tenon joinery and is corner blocked for structural integrity.GREENGUARD Gold Certified to contribute to healthier indoor air, keeping you and your family safer. DETAILS THAT MATTER Our experts select durable top-grain leathers that are aniline-dyed to allow their beauty to shine through. Natural markings such as scars and scratches are trademarks of genuine leather. Both texture and color will vary slightly from hide to hide. Over time, your piece will lighten and soften with age and wear, acquiring its own distinct character.Knobs on the front and back of the runners keep the chair stable as you rock or stand up. KEY PRODUCT POINTS All Pottery Barn Kids juvenile products are tested at 3rd party CPSC accredited labs to meet or exceed all industry voluntarily and regulatory safety requirements.

They can remove natural oils.Dust or vacuum for routine maintenance.Do not place in direct sunlight; it will lighten or discolor leather over time.Dab spills immediately with a soft white cloth dampened in a water solution (3 parts water, 1 part gentle soap). If spill penetrates leather, use lukewarm water and a soft white cloth to massage stain and surrounding area. Blot with a dry cloth and allow leather to air dry.Most surface scratches will fade over time if you rub them with your fingertips. Friction and heat from rubbing helps to redistribute wax in surrounding areas to cover the scratch. Not all scratches have the same depth, and this may not work on deeper scratches. Composition & Construction Our leather upholstered products are constructed from Aniline-dyed leather. The full-grain or top-grain leathers are soaked in transparent non-toxic dye, with no subsequent pigmented finish coats applied. Dye penetrates the hides, letting the natural grain show through.Anilines have natural markings that vary from hide to hide. They also have color variations due to the leather’s ability to accept dyes differently in various areas of a hide. Markings and shading distinguish genuine leather from man-made materials. Appreciating shade differences among hides also means appreciating them on individual furniture pieces, because no two pieces can be produced from a single hide.Our leathers appeal to customers who find the natural color variations, markings and patina of pure aniline leathers unique and beautiful. They may not appeal to customers who want uniform color and surface commonly seen on less expensive leathers that are heavily corrected and pigmented.

Our Commitment At Pottery Barn Kids, we have a firm commitment to safety and quality. We take great pride in our timeless designs, sustainable sourcing, premium materials and expert craftsmanship. Lead Testing One of the most important tests for developing infants and children. We require extensive lead testing at both surface and substrate levels to ensure that our products exceed both those levels achieving higher than industry standards in many countries. Anti-Tip Testing We test our furniture to prevent tip over hazards, testing above the required standards. In addition we provide anti-tip kits with all our furniture for added protection. We also put our anti-tip kits through multiple tests to ensure they will safely support and secure your new furniture in your home. Global Safety Standards Acumen Since quality and safety standards can change from place to place, we aggregate the highest safety standards from the many countries and nations we do business with to holistically develop our own global standards for our many products. Our quality teams attend regular ASTM meetings and conferences to stay ahead of industry trends. Thinking as Designers and Engineers First We design safety requirements into our products like no sharp edges & points, small parts, finger or head entrapment hazards as a foundation for our furniture and other products. We source high-quality materials and substrates in our products especially for our loft and bunk bed furniture so your children can sleep safely. 3rd Party CPSC-Nominated Testing Partners We stand by each product and test in our name for accountability. We use accredited 3rd party labs nominated and regulated by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission). Our partners test everything in the box, including labels, packaging and materials to ensure product safety compliance. Your Opinion Matters We review all returns and take customer feedback very seriously. Many of us at Pottery Barn Kids are parents ourselves and listen to your feedback to make better and safer products for healthier homes.
