I Am Special Activity

Last year, I did a really fun activity with my kids. They loved it then and they really loved it again this year. So, I just had to share!!

 

In the big open space, they draw a picture of themselves. They need to see what makes them special like the color of their hair, skin, eyes, and so on. Of course, they’re little ones, so they’re far from perfect, but they sure are fun!!

There’s also an area to put stickers down with their name on them or glue letters down. There’s also a blank line for them to write their names. On the side, there’s a cute poem about being unique. Finally, on the side, they can also put their fingerprint under the magnifying glass. Why??  Because each of us has a fingerprint that is unique to only us!!  To do this part, we just used an ink pad.

If you’re interested in this activity page, just click to….

Here are some photos my kids in action with this page this year.  You’ll notice that I forgot my stickers at home, so we made due and used letter beads!!

Today, I’d like to introduce a new linky to you. It’s called “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow”. I plan on this being a way to remind you of past products, show you what’s new, and what will be coming soon. By having it be a link-up, you’ll be able to check out more great products by other teacher authors.  If you’d like to join in, please read this first, and then feel free to link-up below.

Here’s my first “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow”….

Favorite Things: August

This month’s Favorite Things is sort of hard for me.  The topic is “Apps for a Flipped Classroom”.  Since it doesn’t apply to me and I only have a Kindle, I’m just going to go with my “favorite apps”.

You can find more favorite things if you check out the linky at…..

This month, the subject is “best things about the start of the school year”.  It’s a little harder since I’m not in a classroom setting, but I still do teach my religion class and homeschool.  So, here’s my Top 10 based on those experiences….

I’m going to be so lost when CSI ends in September!!  I can’t wait for the original cast to be back together though.  I’m very thankful for DVD’s too.  We watch several shows on DVD that aren’t on tv any more or even some of the current ones too.

There’s many things planned for this week.  Some things may be delayed or even deleted depending on what life throws at me this week (and there is a holiday in there).  I promise to do my best though and 2 things are a certain…..a sale at The Schoolhouse on TPT and the giveaway here on the blog.  Here’s a schedule of what’s planned….

I only ask a couple of things of you during this celebration.  The first is to have a good time and enjoy the celebration.  The second thing is to be sure to leave feedback for any products that you get whether purchased or freebies, and to support the great sellers helping with the giveaway by leaving them feedback or purchasing from them the next time you need something.  That’s it!!
