We Love the USA Bulletin Board This is a fun, fast, Patriotic Bulletin Board. I did this with my class last week and plan on keeping it up for the month of July. It doesn't really need much explanation and only takes a few supplies. You will need bulletin board paper, construction paper in red, white and blue, scissors and "little hands". I did write their names on their hands for them to admire! :-) I think this board would also look nice with a black background. I used blue only because the next them has to do with the ocean and I want to reuse the board. Have a great 4th of July!

Marshmallow Painting With a SMORE Snack My class absolutely loves to paint . I wish I could remember who suggested painting with marshmallows and I would give them credit, but I can’t. As I began to plan this project I came up with a snack to go with it, needless to say it was a big hit with the kids and the painting was a lot of fun. Items you need : Large bag of large marshmallows Paint and small flat bowls Construction paper (any color… I chose blue ) SMORE Snack 1 bag of mini-marshmallows 1 bag chocolate chips (you won’t need the whole bag) Individual Scooby Snacks 1 per student Step One: Protect your work area. I use newspapers. Step Two: Pour paint in small flat bowls Step Three: Give each child a piece of construction paper and a marshmallow. Have the children dip their marshmallow in the paint and use like a stamp on their paper. After the painting is finished and set aside to dry, serve and enjoy the SMORE snack

The Holiday Season is in the rearview mirror and its full speed ahead into 2012! Every year about this time I get unsettled and need to organize. Well, to be honest, I get the desire to organize and spend many hours daydreaming about how wonderful the end result will be. Unfortunately, I usually start strong and finish weak, leaving some really major areas in my home still needing help. I really want this year to be different; therefore, I have been on a mission to find some advice/ideas that will work within my personality. My past failures come from being overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. The question of whether I should tackle the cabinet with the Tupperware and lids, the spice cabinet or forge straight to the closets discourage me before I even start. I admit to being a little ADD and have a habit of making a great plan complete with a list of containers to buy. This always excites me, for some reason I just love buying storage containers!
