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!

(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...

"The Markers Don't Work!"

By
How may times have you heard, "Ms. (fill your name in here), this marker doesn't work!" I know I hear it all the time. Sometimes it is because our little friends forget to replace the caps, and sometimes the markers have just been "all used up!" What do you do with all those markers that just don't work? Please don't tell me that you throw them out, try this instead: First, sort your markers out. Put the caps in one container ( save those too, I'll show you what you can do with them in tomorrow's post) and the markers in another. I have a box for the markers that "don't work" for the children to place them into every time they run across one. You can also have the children help you test the markers periodically to sort out the ones that need to be removed from the "working set." When it comes time to use "the markers that don't work," we use a small sponge paint roller to roll water onto our card...
