Free Spring Mazes And Activity Pages

May 10, 2016 by Valerie Mcclintick Leave a Comment

With all the sunny weather here in Oregon lately, I’ve managed to get a little work done in the garden!  If you follow on Instagram you’ll have seen pictures of my newest backyard project….which I am scrambling to complete before the Summer Sun hits.  With our Rocky Clay Soil, Spring is our last opportunity to plant anything before the ground turns so hard you’d break your back trying to dig anything.

Spring is also a time when we are winding down our more serious homeschool studies, wrapping up our projects and taking time to enjoy the weather outside. I always recommend to finish out the year with games, art projects, hands on crafts, and maybe a few fun activity pages!

Today, I’ve got some new Free SPRING Mazes up on our sister site BrainyMaze.com.  These mazes are challenging enough for your preschool or kindergarten student and they would go perfectly with your thematic unit.

It’s mid-April and you homeschool mom’s know what that means:

Curriculum planning!

I know you are probably knee deep in your Springtime lessons; busy hatching butterflies, pressing wildflowers and dissecting frogs….but I also know you’re silently thinking and planning about what curriculum you will use next year!

SallieBorrink-Button-180x180

Maybe you’re looking for a fun but educational way to keep your kiddos learning over the Summer break?

We’ll today we’re blessed to offer you a chance to relieve some of that burden with a fun giveaway!

Sallie Borrink Learning is offering one winner a $25 gift card to her online store…..and her store is FILLED with high quality teaching resources for pennies on the dollar.

 

I am seriously in LOVE with her Fun Fact Cards series, and even more in love with the price!

Cards are a quick, flexible, colorful and fun way to expand your unit! Start building interest in your topic each morning with these 30 fascinating fact cards that go beyond the basics.

These cards are used multiple ways by teachers and parents in many grades. I love reading about all the different ways teachers and parents use them!

Quick Fun Fact – Read the fact card each day and store them in a small basket where the students can look at them again and again. Or keep the set on a ring.

Fact of the Day Bulletin Board – Read a fact each day and display the cards on a special bulletin board or foam board.

Hallway Display – One teacher displayed them on the hallway chalkboard outside her door so many students and adults could read them.

Calendar Pocket Chart – Put a fact behind each number on the calendar and have a different student take it out each day. You can then display on bulletin board.

Geography Extension – Put the cards on a wall map with a string that points to where it ties in.

Go Fish – Create two sets and use for a game of Go Fish.

Memory Game – Create two sets and use for a Memory Game.

Scavenger Hunt – Use the cards to create a Scavenger Hunt.

School Bulletin Board – One kindergarten class had two students take the fact of the day down to the office each morning, “teach” the fact to the office staff, and then display the cards on the office bulletin board for everyone in the school to see.

The cards are 3×3 and there are 6 on a page. I made them small so they easily slide behind your date cards on the calendar pocket chart. They are also a good size for small hands if using them for a game. I also made them smaller to find the balance between making them colorful, but not taking too much ink when you print them.

The cards are unnumbered so they can be used in any month and in any sequence. You can use all the cards in the set or only a portion. This provides maximum flexibility for the teacher’s schedule. Use one set all month or use parts of two sets depending on your needs.

Also included is a hyperlinked list of the relevant websites where the facts were located.

Spring Fever

May 2, 2012 by Valerie Mcclintick 3 Comments

I know I haven’t posted in a while.

It’s really not my fault.

You see we’ve been really very sick.

For the last month or so we’ve all been dealing with a very bad case of

Spring Fever.
(I hear its going around)

We’ve tried to avoid it.

Closing the curtains.

Blocking out the sweet sounds of the birds chirping.

But it’s simply to marvelous to ignore.

We start each day with the intention of sitting around the table learning grammar and history,

our homeschool

but by mid morning I hear the patio door sliding open
and barefoot children sneaking outside for a quick breath of fresh air.

And while our intentions are to have a small break,
we soon find ourselves wrapped up in the glory of God’s creation:

And we spend hours outside.

Inspecting wildflowers…

Tracking wild animals….

And wondering what creatures roam around at night!

We hike into the forest to find neon moss…

And discover the home of a troll….

Surrounded (of course) by troll poison…

And tempting wild strawberries to draw little children closer…

We look close up at the things we pass by every day…

Taking notice of even the smallest creature…

Every year I tell myself that we’re going to stick to a normal school year,

Monday through Friday : September through June

but everytime Spring comes around, we can’t help but soak it all in.

I think it’s time I officially scheduled SPRING into our planner.
