#frombirthtoscience

I am so excited to tell you I’m figuring thing out on the teachers pay teachers site!!!  I’m all about free so of course I’m going for the free approach!  Over the years I have created some really awesome things but they got tossed in the back file never to be uploaded anywhere.  Kinda disappointing really.  Now, I can post pictures of what we are doing AND post the link so you lovely peeps will have access to what I’m up to!  How cool is that?!?!  

Of course I have to start it with something neat (I promise in the near future I will upload some of my files from the past lol) so Egypt it is!  We recently went to a museum of natural science and saw some pretty awesome things!!! (<- lots of exclamation points I know)  Needless to say those pretty awesome things just begged to be turned into longer lessons at home.

I lucked out to find a papyrus kit in the gift shop (totally unexpected).  I also took some of the pictures I got and turned them into cards for identification.  (If you print them off you can fold them in half and have flash cards or make a matching set with one card being pictures and one card being the name/description.  I’m making them two different sets instead of flash cards.)  I also made number cards.  Their original number system was a base 10 set.  You only need 9 of each number but I put 10 just in case you lose one (It was going to take 2 pages if I only put 9 per number so why not make an extra just in case on.).  I also made a work sheet to go along with the cards.  

Later in the week I will post pictures of how things are going with our Egyptian lessons but here are a few pictures of what I’m creating and the links to go with them.

I don’t have a picture of the worksheet but this goes along with the number cards.

I haven’t figured out how to insert files yet!  Sorry!  But here is a creation (without frills).  With appointments lately we don’t always get to do the “fun” schooling.  Sometimes I have to print things off/write things out to do.  We have found this activity works well while on the go.  It has three parts for reading/writing.  The first part you put the words in alphabetical order.  As you can see all of the words have something in common!!! In the second part...your child has to figure out what they have in common and write it out.  The third part is simple...pick three words and write a sentence using each word one time!  Eventually I will get pretty pictures on the the pages and have them posted on Teachers Pay Teachers.  For now feel free to have a sample to copy and print.  (Sorry I can’t figure out how to make it in a downloadable file!)

Write the words in alphabetical order!

1.      red                                 _____________________________ 2.      green                             _____________________________ 3.      yellow                           _____________________________ 4.      pink                               _____________________________ 5.      blue                               _____________________________ 6.      orange                           _____________________________ 7.      indigo                            _____________________________ 8.      white                             _____________________________ 9.      violet                             _____________________________ 10.    black                             _____________________________

What do all of these words have in common?
