I absolutely love this ebook! I have been raising a family for a decade now. Throughout that time I have explored many ways to provide for them...educationally, nutritionally, emotionally, etc. However, doing the job well is not always easy, and new ideas for how to create a nurturing home are always helpful.
Preschool Activities in a Bag gives you all of the information you need to make your own, easy-to-grab activities for your young child. What's more is that it specifically tells you how to coordinate a group swap for these activities. With the right people and a little dedication and organization, you can have 40 new activities ready to keep your preschooler stimulated and happy.
I am looking forward to organizing a swap of my own. We'll have fresh ideas with a low-cost yield just in time for the new school year!...

This is not your ordinary art instruction manual. From the very first page, you will be drawn in (no pun intended) and captivated by the engaging text. Part art history, part art lessons; this book is completely fun. Although this book is intended for an older age group, Mr. Stebbings makes no assumptions about the level of the student's skills, starting them out with some very basic drawing lessons. The lessons progress throughout the book and cover a wide range of mediums and methods including pen & ink, colored pencils, nature study, painting, penmanship, shading, the color wheel, perspective and more. In addition to learning about major artists, arcitecture and time periods, students are encouraged to study art and evaluate it using the Bible as their standard. Those who do copywork will also appreciate the related quotes sprinkled hroughout the text. And all of this is presented in clear, easy to follow, self directed lessons.
There are so many different things covered in this...

Love it!
I don’t just love the looks of it; we actually took this one for a test flight. We spent about 3 weeks with Amanda Bennett’s Flight Unit Study, and I can say- we LOVED IT!
I love that each day is structured. You still have to pick and choose what exactly you will do (like you would with any unit study), but each day you get words of wisdom (vocabulary), today’s quote (copy work), interesting people & places to explore, and questions to read and discover. You definitely need to use the internet (great link suggestions provided) or library (tons of good book suggestions provided) in order to complete this study.
This unit is written for two levels (lower and upper-- we used the lower); you get everything I posted about for each level for each day. The unit is written to last four weeks, but you can shorten it if you don’t want to spend that long.
We had a ton of fun learning about Leonardo, Icarus, The Wright Brothers, The Montgolfier Brothers, Amelia Earhart, Be...

Why Use Drama? is a great resource for classroom teachers who want to find a new and creative way to get students reading - and re-reading too! The article discusses the chemical changes that take place in the brain of a child who has been read to from a favourite book so many times that he begins to "read" it without ever having a lesson in how to read. This sort of recitation from memory, it appears, is not so very different from actual reading. And even for a student in third grade or higher, re-reading a text helps to promote skills fluency and comprehension.
Drama, it turns out, is the perfect way to get students to re-read a text without getting bored with it. The article discusses a variety of different ways to perform a play (readers' theater, stage performance, radio play, puppet show, even a musical production) all with tips on how to go about organizing the performance. There is also information on time frames, enlisting help from other adults, and evaluating drama perfor...

For children who are beginning early reading skills and starting to learn and recognize sight words, simple practice books with just as simple storylines are prime. Easy-for-Me Books by Sarah Major and Elizabeth Gray, are available at CurrClick. These 8-page "readers" come in sets of two, fully downloadable and printable from your home computer for classroom use.
Books 21-22 in the List A books (22 titles in all, covering a total of 59 sight words) are entitled "Meg and Peg" and "Ned and Ted." Each book has a short story snippet using different sight words in each. Each also boasts simple, black and white line art illustrations, so as to not greatly distract from the text (but instead to effectively help convey the meaning of it).
At the beginning of these downloadable books are helpful lesson plans (a "Before You Read This Book" section) to show you how to extend the range of learning activities for these Easy-for-Me Books!
It's one thing to learn the sight words via flash ...
