I love incorporating history videos/documentaries into our studies!
Wow! Is tomorrow already August? Time has flown by this summer! I have been gone the majority of the summer, hence the lack in posts... but I am back now! I have a lengthy list of things to blog about from my summer adventures! To begin with, here is one of my crafty Pinterest projects that I have completed (here is the link to the original idea): Colonial America/Revolutionary War Guess Who! I have been wanting to do this project for a while now and finally made the time this last month. It took me some time to put it all together! The old-fashioned Guess Who game is hard to come by! They have made it all fancy now, which is not what I wanted! I scoured garage sales and thrift stores until I found one! Here are my directions: 1. Find an old Guess Who game and take out the cards (you might already have one in your game cabinet.) 2. Select people from history, family, students, etc. to turn into a game. 3. Measure the game cards in your Guess Who game. (Mine were 1.75" x 1.12") 4. Using your favorite document maker, (I used Power Point) create boxes that are the measurements of your cards. 5. Find pictures of your people you want to use either on the Internet or photos you have taken. 6. Insert the photos into your document, sizing them to fit inside the boxes. 7. Insert a text box at the bottom of your boxes and type the person's name. 8. Print, laminate, cut, insert, and play! (Make sure you print an extra set to draw from.) Rules of play: 1. Open the trays by turning them upside down. 2. Each player draws a card that their opponent will be trying to guess. 3. Ask "yes" or "no" questions to narrow down the suspects. (You can ask if they are bald, wearing a hat, male, or even about something they did in history like did this person fight in a war?) 4. Narrow down the selection until you think you know who your opponent has for you. Make your guess on your next turn to see if you are correct! Bonus: If you want it to be more of a challenge, pull 2 cards to guess. Then, you can ask questions like: Is either person involved in the Revolutionary War? or Are both people female? I hope you will create your own Guess Who game now! I would love to sell my cards that I have made, but I just got the images from Google, so that wouldn't be legal. However, it really didn't take long to make. Make sure you link up pictures of yours if you make one!
Ok, I gave in and actually did a DIY project and I really committed to it. Kind of. What did I get myself into? Here's my updated crate seats (I changed out the fabric): Everyone has been pinning on Pinterest {I first saw it *here*} like CRAZY this wonderful storage seating idea with crates. Well...I jumped into it and thought I'd do it! P.S. They are pretty low to the ground {for 1st graders} when you put them at your guided reading table. I just lowered my table a little bit and I think it'll work just fine! The finished product! Before you freak out when you see how much I spent, please be aware that I wanted to just get this project finished. I didn't take my time to price it out or seek donations. I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart and Home Depot would have donated most of the items used {if I would have been patient in getting those items}. Remember I made 6 crate seats! You can start small! Supplies and expected costs for 6 crates: Staple Gun {16.43- Home Depot} Staples 8mm {2.67- Home Depot} (2) 1/2 inch thick plywood about 2'X4' {22.52 for 2 - Home Depot} Cutting the wood to fit in the crate {Free- Home Depot} (6) Crates {20.82 for 6- Wal-Mart} Spray Glue {5.97- Wal-Mart} (2) Foam Roll 1 inch thick {32.00- Wal-Mart...*ouch*, instead of buying this foam I bought, just buy the egg shell foam mats!} Ribbon {1.97- Wal-mart} Fabric {3.5 yards at $15.94-Wal-Mart} A husband willing to help you out {PRICELESS!} Amazon (affiliate link) for crates: HERE Here is my tutorial! After having the Home Depot worker cut my pieces my hubby had to take them home and sand the corners down to round them out. Cut the foam to fit on the wood. Use spray adhesive on the wood focusing on the edges. Pat down the fabric to ensure it sticks all around. Let dry for 2 hours. Cut the fabric It's best to have someone help you staple. I pulled the fabric tight and my husband used his muscles to staple. The corners look much like a present being wrapped. AFTER THIS STEP (It's not pictured because I just recently did this... buy vinyl table cloths by the yard at a fabric store (I got mine at walmart) and cover on top of your fabric with clear vinyl! Then you don't have to switch out your fabric. It just wipes right off! Fit your ribbon {for the handle} and place in the middle. Pull the ribbon tight (but not too tight) and start stapling! You can use the ribbon as a handle to pull the seat out so you can store items in your crate. The finished product! My kiddos LOVE the crate seats during guided reading! If you'd like a printable version of the tutorial click *HERE*. *Also don't forget to Buy vinyl table cloths by the yard at a fabric store (I got mine at walmart) and cover on top of your fabric with clear vinyl! Then you don't have to switch out your fabric. It just wipes right off! Great tips from our readers: *Instead of buying the foam from the craft department, but the egg shell foam pads in the bed/bath department- It will be much cheaper! *Try your local grocery store to get donated crates {eggs/milk are delivered in them!} I linked up: Inspiring Creations C.R.A.F.T I Heart Naptime WhipperBerry Sisters of the Wild West Skip to my Lou A Bowl Full of Lemons

Chinese New Year is a wonderful opportunity to bring engaging learning into the classroom! There is plenty of time for you to gather materials and make your lesson plans come alive for your students. The books shown above are wonderful books to teach your students in k-2 key details about Chinese New Year. The Dancing Dragon pulls out to show a huge 4' long Dragon Parade. I've yet to find another book that captivates students the way that The Dancing Dragon does when you pull out the dragon pages. Legend states that Buddha called all of the animals together to meet on the new year. Twelve animals showed at the meeting and Buddha named a year after each one. People born in these years are said to have the traits of the animals from their year. During the new year, people wear red and celebrate. One of the celebrations is the lantern festival. People join together with family, friends and their community to celebrate the lantern festival. There you will find beautifully decorated lanterns lit in a night parade. The highlight of the lantern festival is the dragon dance. Elaborate dances are put together with dazzling costumes. Firecrackers are lit to celebrate the new year. Every year we read books about Chinese New Year in my class. After we read about the new year, we make our own red lanterns and then we put on our own parade. One student is selected to lead the parade with a paper mask that I made. The rest of the students line up behind the leader with their arms on the person's shoulders in front of them. I throw my red blankets over them. They don't care that there are snowmen on them. We dance through the classroom stepping on bubble wrap for firecracker sounds. This is an excellent engagement activity. Afterwards the kids are ready to read more books closely and respond to text dependent questions. I only wish that we could teach this way every day! Above you will find a freebie that I'm offering you to compare the Chinese New Year to the North American New Year. (I didn't want to leave out my geographical surrounding friends!)
