Easy Peasy infinity scarf! I'm not a fan of circular needles, so I stitch up my scarves once the knitting is completed. To begin simply cast on 125 stitches on 15mm needles. Knit until your work measures about 6-8 inches. Cast off, sew along the seem, and bravo! <br />

We decided to watch a movie and eat popcorn. Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue is a book that we have so when it came up we decided to rent it. I was pleasantly surprised. </div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">One criticism I did have was that all of the fairies have a similar sexy figure and are curvy to say the least. </div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">On a positive note all of the fairies are of differing ethnicity and there are even three males. Another thing that I like is the fact that the fairies are interacting with a real person in the movie, a little girl named Lizzie. The plot is good and the scary parts are pretty tame and quite well done. There is no violence and all of the characters are nice people. It's a bit of a modern tale and there is a subtext of female empowerment. A funny, fantastical, whimsical interpretation about friendship and honesty. The fairies are action heroines throughout<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;">.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I'll never forget the image of my sweet girl, dressed in her Tinkerbell pjs watching intently with giant eyes. We watched it twice in a row! Maybe now I'll be open to more movies for her. Possibly even Disney. Any suggestions?</div></div>Snug N Luvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04314537906554542968noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219106915813628915.post-45169770856490541822010-11-20T13:49:00.000-08:002010-11-20T13:49:44.968-08:00Making Play Dough<div style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>"Play Dough" is great for kids. My two and four year old daughter's both love it as do my Kindergarten students. Kneading, cutting, rolling, and many of the other things that we do with play dough are excellent fine motor skills builders. Today we made some using this recipe and I threw in a pinch of cinnamon to make it smell nice. Turned out pretty good and we had lots.</b></div><div style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><strong>Play Dough Recipe:</strong></div><div style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1 cup white flour<br />
1/2 cup salt<br />
2 tablespoon cream of tartar (find it in the spice section)<br />
1 tablespoon oil<br />
1 cup water<br />
food coloring</div><div style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Mix ingredients in a pan. Add water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 – 5 minutes. Dough forms a “clump”. Remove from stove and knead for 5 minutes–add food coloring during kneading process. Play dough will keep for a few weeks in a plastic sandwich bag.</div>Snug N Luvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04314537906554542968noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219106915813628915.post-36387822127834488822010-10-02T15:08:00.001-07:002010-10-02T15:08:45.667-07:00Kindergarten Transition<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Hi Everyone,</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I hope all is well. Sorry I haven't been posting very much lately. I've been a terrible blogger. hahaha</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Recently I returned to work full time and have been working hard to integrate 39 Kindergarten children into my new classes. A little tired to say the least.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In addition, my daughter started school and has had some transition issues. Here are some tips to help your little boy or girl to like school.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><ul style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><li>Remind your child that you will always come back.</li>
<li>Focus on the positive. Talk openly about your child's feelings.</li>
<li>Remind your child that everyone had a first day of school (ie. grandma, mom and dad).</li>
<li>Make your child feel more secure. Walk or drive the bus route your child will take to school, especially in the days leading up to the first day of school.</li>
<li>Security also comes from knowing what to do in different situations. Let the child know that he/she can always talk to the teacher and help facilitate a trusting relationship.</li>
<li>Establish a routine and encourage positive behaviour.</li>
<li>Read books like "The Kissing Hand".</li>

They inspire children to learn by pairing educational material with music and bright imagery. They have sold numerous videos, DVDs, CDs, as well as audio book programs worldwide over the years and they feature over 50 products. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">Rock ’N Learn programs focus on the areas of math, phonics, reading, early childhood, social studies, Spanish, test-taking strategies, writing, and science. </span><br />

As many of you know, in addition to being the mother of 2 and 4 year old girls I teach Junior and Senior Kindergarten. I tested out <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"Getting Ready for Kindergarten"</span> on my oldest daughter, as she is going into Kindergarten in the Fall and it was a hit. The animated characters, Jill and Joey, kept her attention throughout the entire 45 minute DVD. The video focuses on the skills that would be helpful for the children upon entering kindergarten</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">. I liked it so much that I showed parents and children this DVD at Kindergarten Orientation this year. At one point Joey demonstrates how to make his bed. My daughter has been singing the song and making her bed ever since watching it. Now, if only mom could follow suit.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"><br />

The physical nature of this DVD is very useful in both the classroom and at home and allows children to burn off some energy while playing.

This awesome gadget is going to make my life so much easier at home and in the classroom. And it's fun. The Cricut will cut through many types of materials including fabric and magnets! You can even cut out designs and stick them on the wall because it cuts sticky vinyl.<br />
<br />
There are four types of Cricut machines available and they all have different "abilities". <br />
<br />
1. Cricut Cuttlebug -is mostly for embossing an simple die cuts. This is a manual machine. Very inexpensive.<br />
2. Cricut Personal- cuts letters and shapes from 1 inch up to 5.5 inches (excellent for scrapbookers)<br />
3. Cricut Create - cuts letters and shapes up to 5.5 inches by 11.5 inches wide but also has mirror image, and some other functions that the Expression has and the Personal doesn't<br />
4. Cricut Expression -cuts designs from .25 up to 23.5 inches and has numerous functions that the others don't (good for bulletin boards)<br />
<br />
All models of the Cricut cutting machine, with the exception of the Cuttlebug, function in the same way. They all work using cartridges and the blades are the same too.<br />
<br />
I was unsure if I needed to spend the extra money to buy the expression for my needs. But, of course I knew that if I didn't get the best one now I'd be back in line waiting for it within weeks. I justified the price in two ways; one being that I'm going to use it with kindergarten and the other being that it was $200 off at Walmart this week! I felt bad buying it at Walmart but I couldn't beat the price and it was the BLACK one with the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge<br />

As a mother of two children and a Kindergarten teacher I come across several new books every day. I love children's literature and have been practicing yoga in my classroom for a few weeks now. You can imagine how happy I was when I had the opportunity to review the most wonderful book for children. <a href="http://www.animalsdoyoga.com/index.htm">Animals Do Yoga...and So Do I</a> was written by Angela Faith Miller and illustrated by award winning artist Susie McColgan. Angela is a certified elementary school teacher and teaches yoga as well. She is a mother of two and has been practicing yoga for 13 years. It was her understanding of teaching and good literature and her passion for yoga that inspired Angela to write such a great book. Susie is an esteemed artists and has won many awards for her work.<br />

There are so many things that I love about this book. It introduces children to daily yoga practice while fostering creativity inherent within children. The illustrations are done thoughtfully, demonstrating child friendly yoga poses in a creative, vibrant, and unique manner. Animals Do Yoga and So Do I does a great job of paralleling children and animals doing yoga. The children in the pictures are multicultural and this is very important to me in choosing literature. Children can connect with this book because the concepts are reinforced with things that are real and meaningful for them.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">My 4 year old daughter loves pretending to be the animals and is asking to read the book and do yoga every day. What a great opportunity to encourage a positive, healthy, peaceful way of being! She is already learning to be balanced in an overly active world and Animals Do Yoga has certainly helped her to do this. I'm so happy to have found this book and have been using it in the classroom as </div><div style="text-align: left;"> well as home.</div><br />

Just before our nutrition break, along with 19 Kindergartens and all of the other paraprofessionals in the room, I stop everything that's going on in our active classroom and we all "bust a move". We dance hard and with reckless abandon, like no one is watching. (although on Friday I noticed the principal peeking from the hall with a sideways smirk). The kids love it, the adults love it and it's fun! This fifteen minutes of freedom has reaffirmed for me the belief that children need and crave physical activity.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Next week, I've decided to try something new in the classroom.....YOGA! The mental, physical, and emotional benefits are numerous. Not to mention the self control skills and the ability to handle solitude that can result from yoga practic. If it makes the classroom more peaceful and calm we can't lose.</span></span><br />

The blankets have arrived and they are adorable. So, it's time to choose a winner. Thanks to all for your participation.</dt><br />

7:30pm- Timmy time (fairly odd parents) and a small snack<br />
7:45pm- mommy brushes teeth<br />
8pm- into bed with 2 stories (Sometimes I like to Curl up in a Ball and The Very Hungry Caterpiller- gawd I'm sick of reading these sammmmmme stories every night). I lay on the bed while daddy reads and then we both hug/kiss goodnight<br />
8:10pm- CD of classical tunes goes on and her white noise machine with a night light goes on. she gets to pick the colour the night light shines.</div></dd>Snug N Luvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04314537906554542968noreply@blogger.com1
