Taking Longer Than Expected

construction sign and tape

I just thought that I would pop on with a quick message to update you all about what’s going on. 

Construction Zone sign

Well, basically it’s nothing!  Updating my site after moving to a new host is taking way longer than expected.  Really most of it is done, but I haven’t been able to get all my images uploaded.  I’ve just had so much going on that I’ve had little time to devote to adding the images.  On top of that, it’s very time consuming to try to find all the missing images.

I truly appreciate you all being so patient and sticking by even though you rarely hear from me.  I couldn’t ask for better followers!  I’ll be coming up with something for you all soon so that I can say “thank you” in a proper way.  In the meantime, I’m honestly doing my best, but you know how life can be.

Take care and I hope that you’re having as beautiful of a Spring as we are here!

Need Your Help

Hello all!!
I’m working on updating one of my printables and I could use some input.  I’d appreciate if you’d read through and then vote in the poll to help me out with this.

I have a booklet for the 10 Commandments.  There is a little kids and a big kids version.  In the little kids version, I try to simplify all the Commandments so that they’re easier to understand.  In the big kids version, they’re the actual words of the Commandments.  My problem is with the little kids version.

Since I work with littles (PreK-K), I had to have my DRE double check what I was using in class.  The wording that she let me use for the 6th Commandment is “Do not love another”, which is actually “Thou shalt not commit adultery”.  Obviously I can’t use adultery because the littles don’t understand it and we actually don’t discuss it that much.  It is more along the lines of “you should only love the person that you’re with” (and of course family and friends).  

My issue is that I’ve had a couple complaints about this wording.  I’ve been told that it doesn’t make sense unless it’s fully explained to them (2nd graders) and it’s confusing for children and should be worded differently (grades K-4).  No input on what the other wording could be or how to make it less confusing or how it wouldn’t have to be fully explained.

So, how should I word it??  I can make it “Do not love another than the one you’re with”, but that gets pretty long and awkward looking for text to be colored in by the children.  Please take the poll below to help me with this dilemma.  You can also type in your own choice for wording as well.  Also, feel free to leave a comment on this post with your ideas.

Thanks for reading….and voting in the poll to help me out!!
