2nd Grade All About My Country this site has a lot of awesome links. Granted, I haven't checked them ALL...but the ones I have looked at have been informative for our passports project in Co-Op.

Two for Tuesday
Printable Maps this week in co-op we are going to be talking about the 7 continents, so I printed maps of each of the continents and I will laminate them and let the kids try to put together Pangea.
Later on in this unit we will be discussing specific countries, and I think this will be a fun game to play: The Continent Game I'm currently trying to figure out a way to possibly adapt it to just the names of the continents....
And then I found this: Continent Hop My co-leader is bringing a globe, and I think we can adapt this game using the globe. FUN!

Two for Tuesday
This week we are talking about animals that hibernate, and I'm throwing in a lesson about migration. We will be doing this activity at co-op this week for the kindergartners. I think it will go well with what they've been covering (animal adaptations) AND with what we've been covering at home (carnivore/omnivore/herbivore...and the food chain.)
I'm either leading or co-leading every co-op for Three or Four from now until the end of the year, so I did some other planning as well. February I'm leading the K co-op, but most of the subjects are easily adapatable to older/wider age ranges.
President's Day the age range on this pack is K-3rd. I'll be using a couple of the sheets for co-op and most of the others at home on our own.
You'll notice that both of today's links are TeachersPayTeachers links. I really can't say enough good things about this website. I LOVE it. There are a ton of great FREE things (like the links I've shared today) but there are also LOADS of great packs for just a few bucks. I've bought several things from there, and I've loved all of them. So, while you're checking out these things...look around. Search any subject you are studying. Narrow it by grade. It's amazing!

And this one just PRIOR to him sneezing all over the onion.
After our impromptu ambulance driven ER visit, he was soaking in the tub (to remove those tabs they use to monitor his heart and breathing) while explaining how he was NOT tired....he nearly fell asleep. This bath was followed by a nap for Bubba and Mama.

Sideways Saturday!
(This post is going to be a Two for Tuesday, Skinny Housewife, and Flashback Friday all rolled into one....Sideways Saturday Fo'Sho!)
Phew! The weeks are just flying by. Not to sound TOO cliche, but how is 2014 almost over??
We are doing well with schooling, I'm pleased with where the boys are. One and I recently drew up a contract to help her get herself back on track (she asked for my help) and that's been going pretty beautifully. Although, truthfully, we are just wrapping week 1 of using this new contract, so it's still in the 'honeymoon phase.' However, after only one week, I can see a difference in her PHYSICAL behavior and she seems genuinely happier on the whole (She is dealing with depression, and I put in place some things that I was hopeful with help as she and I are both a little leery of medications.)
This month we've been learning about Christmas Around the World (different holiday traditions) as well as other holidays celebrated at this time of year. In Kindergarten Co-Op this week, we covered Hanukkah (we did the menorah hand-print craft only I had the kids trace and cut their hands out of paper, and glue on paper flames because I didn't want to do paint!) and Kwanzaa (I was inspired by this, and each child made a chain with 3 red, 1 black, 3 green links, and we discussed the different principles celebrated during Kwanzaa as we went.) For Early-Elem Co-Op, we are each working at home on a project board covering a different country and how they celebrate "Winter Holidays" and will all be making a food item from our country for a big Christmas Around the World party this coming week. Our country is France, because my great-grandparents were french immigrants and I'm trying to hold on to our french heritage.
My job is going great, I teach 3 mornings a week and my ladies have asked for one more class. I have to pitch the idea to my boss, so we'll see! However, I injured my leg sometime before Thanksgiving, and am currently wearing a knee brace to assure that I don't bend it wrong (because it hurts like a BITCH when I do!) and I'm taking ibuprofen around the clock to get rid of the inflammation. I've been braced for 3 days, and it really is helping a bunch. I have 4 more classes to teach and then I'm on a 2 week holiday break. I won't be running or dancing during that time, and am hopeful that by the time my schedule goes back to normal my knee will no longer be an issue. I AM worried about gaining weight during this time though as all my normal cardio is what keeps my weight in check. Seated cardio is way harder than you'd think. I have a very hard time getting my heart rate up while NOT moving my legs. However, I keep reminding myself that it could be SO MUCH WORSE, and I'll take this minor injury over something more major.

Two for Tuesday: It's Christmas Time!
Christmas Around the World
Mrs. Nelson's Class
This month for Kindergarten Co-Op we are covering holiday traditions from around the world. For our holiday party, the older co-op kids (early elementary) will be presenting a poster board on a country of their choosing and both groups will be bringing in foods from a selected country. I'm sort of crazy excited.
Here are some links to use to get your own studies going. Explore!
