I'm getting closer to the end of my final project. I can start to see light at the end of the tunnel.... and that means that I'll be back here more often! (Trust me, I would much rather be blogging than writing up an annotated bibliography.... ) I have oodles of photos and activities to share with you, and I will get back to that soon!

I wanted to let you all know that I am expanding my reach and will be working on a number of collaborative efforts in the near future. Watch for my first post on this collaborative blog to publish on Wednesday:

PreK + K Sharing

If you are not already following, please hop on over and check it out! This blog will have a different author each day of the month and will offer many different topics and interests for those of you who have or work with young children.

Also, just an FYI- If you didn't know already.... Our backyard butterflies were featured in the Fall Edition of the Connections for a Great Start publication. Hopefully, the online version will be available soon and I can pass that link along to you!

Okay, back to my paper... more posts coming soon!

Dan died this past Saturday.  Interestingly enough, Dan and I talked about death quite a bit. It is one of those topics that isn't talked about all that much in our field, but is super important. All living things eat, all living things poop, and all living things die.  Dan and I recorded a podcast for awhile called "Shaking Bones." Dan was always shaking bones, even before I met him. To say I was honored to be asked to be his co-host would be putting it lightly. I loved recording with him. He was never afraid to touch on topics that were a bit edgy, or issues that sometimes weren't talked about much at all.  We even...

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...
