I could never remember my gallon facts, so here's the Gallon House! The G is the house, the 4 Q's (quarts) are the windows, the 8 P's (pints) are the people, and the 16 C's (cups) are the eyes!
{Awesome Free eBook} on pinner said: I was going through my inbox when I found this awesome download: Creativity Matters. Check it out... click the Tinker Toy pic to link through to the site. This quote caught my attention: “Preschool children, on average, ask their parents about 100 question a day. Why, why, why — sometimes parents just wish it’d stop. Tragically, it does stop. By middle school they’ve pretty much stopped asking. It’s no coincidence that this same time is when student motivation and engagement plummet. They didn’t stop asking questions because they lost interest: it’s the other way around. They lost interest because they stopped asking questions.” So what do we do as parents and educators to encourage our children to be passionately curious?
Gallon Bot - what a fun way to learn about volume measurements
parking lot game -- call out a word (or letter) & they "park" in that place!

A lot of neat Science Foldables - Magnets, energy, forces, motion, light and color.
Bully-proofing your kids - Starting when their son was 3, psychologist Tammy Hughes and her school psychologist husband started teaching him. At night, they'd say, "Tell me three good things that happened to you today." This helped him make the distinction between events and his feelings about them. Once he had that mastered, they added, "Tell me three good things that happened to someone else (lesson: the world includes me and other people, their feelings and actions)." Next they asked, "Tell me something you did that worked out well. Now, tell me something that someone else did that worked out well for someone else." "These simple questions help children differentiate themselves and others, and (teach them) cause and effect. If you can connect these ideas and feelings, then it helps children to prepare to identify bullying -- negative versus positive behaviors -- and who did what to cause the outcome"
This is amazing! Tons of educational activities for all ages - especially young ones. I love this!
