 Music tree,snow men with TA TA TEE TEE TA,(snow man that is full is "TA" and cut in half is "TEE TEE" or quarter -quarter- eighth/eighth- quarter : rhythms), instruments, and the boarders are made at school.

 Children can write a report about Picasso, and cut out the musicians and the instruments, just like Picasso's art. They decorated with music paper behind it.

So great!!

Excited for Spring planting.

        I was talking to a friend on the phone and she told me that the discount store Big Lots, has planting supplies already. I like to get them before the inexpensive places sell out. SO ...I took a trip to the store and found a gold mine of goodies. I compared the prices to Target and on line store and it was SO much less money. I will plant in the starter pots in  March some time. I can put them in the ground in April or end of March.

I bought different size pots.

                                                 

      The seed starter on the bottom shelf shown here are plastic with 72 cells!! It comes with a humidity dome, greenhouse like, to help keep the moisture and heat in. This was only $4.50. I saw a smaller one at Target for triple that cost!! All I need is dirt,water and some sun.

 I like the pellet type of planters because I won't need dirt. I just can grow the plants and put them in the ground. Easy!

 I will use these pots too...extra bonus ....they are organic!!

Just in case you need a new one. The hoses were a great price!

      The special pots that grow herbs and strawberries look fun. I have never used them before. I will try and see how it goes. I will keep you posted. If you have used these before leave a comment. I am curious on how good these work.

Idioms for kids~

     This was a fun project for older students in the elementary grades. They are learning about idioms. They are not going to illustrate what it means but draw the literal meaning of the saying.
This can turn out to be a fun and hilarious project. The children don't know at first what it means and just draw it. Like "Heart of Gold" means a wonderful person who will always , go the extra mile, for you. (ha ha!) They draw a picture of someone with a real heart made out of gold.
 Have some fun with your students this semester using idioms. You can find dozens of them.
