Here is what we’ve been doing this week. Let us know what you think.  We hope by providing these materials to you free of charge, it will make your life easier!Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans.  (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)

Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

*Special Note: Some of the clipart in this unit can be hard to see if printed on fast draft.

Day 1:  
Polar Animal Spelling- This activity will help your child begin to recognize that when letters are combined they form words.

Polar Patterns- This activity will help your child begin to recognize, describe and extend patterns.

Polar Lands Power Point- Enjoy learning about what animals are found in polar regions and how the land looks.

Day 2:  
Polar Bear Writing Maze- This activity adds a little “spice” to working on beginning writing skills.


Roll & Graph: Polar Animals– This activity will introduce your child to data collection and interpretation. Once you’ve completed the graph (first item to # of choice), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What item is that?  Which color is shorter? Which item is that? How many times did we give the (item) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Polar Animal Tracks– Have fun learning about the tracks that polar animals make with these picture puzzles. We recommend printing this on cardstock and laminating.
Day 3:  
Polar Animal Beginning Sounds- Helps your child to focus in on the beginning letter sounds he/she hears and then to identify which letter makes that sounds.
Feed the Penguin– This activity will help your child begin to read whole numbers 1-10.  Attach the picture below to a cereal box and cut a hole in the penguin’s beak.  Flip a number card and feed that many goldfish crackers to the penguin.

Polar Sensory Tub– A fun activity to help your child better visual the arctic in the warmth of your own home.  If you don’t have snow in your area, you can create homemade snow (scroll down to Making Snow) or your can create a homemade iceberg.

    Yes. We originally set it up this way to prevent accidental edits from little fingers, but you could still see it as a “Read Only.”

    However, after looking into a bit more I went ahead and saved it differently. Go ahead and download it again and let me know if it works for you.

You all, it is so important to do everything you c You all, it is so important to do everything you can to make sure to maintain your health and your family's too this season.  My family and I always take proactive steps in the winter. Honestly, the steps we have taken in the past have kept my family healthy and we rarely get sick. This year we are adding some extra things to help support our immune system.  I've had several people asked me what I'm doing, so a few of my friends and I are actually going to have a little sharing session this Wednesday night (8:15 EST). We will be sharing all the ways we stay proactive with our health, especially in the winter. We'll have some practical tips, as well as some, must-haves to keep on hand to help your family stay above that wellness line. 

It's happening this Wednesday (11/18) at 8:15 pm EST.  Let me know if you want in and I will get you the dets. 

We will be talking about essential oils, but there are so many other things we do as well.  We will have a packet for everyone that comes, so you won't have to worry about your hand cramping from all the notes you'll want to write down!
You all, I can't believe it is November! However, You all, I can't believe it is November! However, I'm so glad it is because I am tired of all the crazy this year and I need to change my attitude! I'm going to be intentional this month and practice gratitude. 

Here's the thing, I think you should join me because research studies show that finding a bit of thankfulness each day can actually increase your happiness level and decrease depression!! It also increases physical health (hello cold & flu season), brain function, and a sense of fulfillment. I know, with everything going on in the world right now I could use a little more of ALL of that!

So, who's with me? What are you thankful for today?

🍂Today I am thankful for the colorful fall leaves swirling by my windows. 🍂
I love this reminder from the Lord! Last week was I love this reminder from the Lord!

Last week was our first week back to homeschool. And I think it is safe to say that we all dealt with an array of emotions that week.  I had to give myself a timeout the first day!! So, this reminder is perfect as we begin this week

After evaluating how things went I can see that it was my thoughts and attitude that was the ultimate cause of my feelings of frustration and irritation. Things weren’t going the way I had planned. 

I mean, let’s be honest this year isn’t really going as any of us have planned. Am I right? 

Here’s the thing, we have a choice in how we think, and since our thoughts affect our emotions, we have a choice in how we feel. 

But praise the Lord we don’t have to let our circumstances dictate our attitude or the the way we think!

WHO ELSE NEEDS THE SPIRIT TO RENEW THEIR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE THIS WEEK?
