Antique Vanity Table Makeover

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 05:58:00 +0000

This is my Granny's vanity table that she used everyday. She passed in the late 80's and my sister has had her vanity for quite sometime. After years of sitting in storage, she let me take a stab of a makeover. I must say, I am very happy with the results! I found the neatest store in Austin for the paint and best advice to complete this project! Thank you to A House & A Tree.

1st restoration done in the late 90's

Started with sanding to remove the chipping of the old polish

Maison Blance Paint and Wax Wrought Iron, Franciscan Grey, Dark Brown Antique Wax

1st coat of Wrought Iron, removed old hardware

Martha Stewart Stencil from Michael's and Franciscan Grey paint

2 coats of Wrought Iron paint and stencile left to dry

Teaching Time With an Ipad

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:29:00 +0000

Get you classroom discussion going and let your kiddos explore using technology they already LOVE! You can download my PDF's FREE on Teachers Pay Teachers.

If you are already using iPads or iPods in your classroom then these clocks become interactive and work great with Educreations app (or any interactive whiteboard app) and Apple TV through AirPlay.

This is how I use it in my 3rd grade math resource room. I simply instant message the PDF file has an image and have the kids save it to their camera roll. They then pull up the picture using Educreations app. I then ask them to draw a specific time in one color. Then I ask them a couple elapsed time questions and they draw those times in different colors. They record their answer and share it in our class account in Educreations. Then we share as a class through AirPlay using Apple TV.

Here is one example.

Look for more PDF's soon that work great with iPads and iPods using AirPaly.

Google Chrome Read and Write App

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 17:20:00 +0000

It's new! It's Awesome! Kids and teachers are loving it!

This app is helping bridge the gap for our struggling readers and writers. Google has developed a system that allows you to collaborate with others while providing a contextual spell checker, a word dictonary, a picture dictionary and a text-to-speech program (reads back your text), ALL in one document! This is huge for our struggling readers. Students are able to hear what they write and see a picture for a word they type, this is amazing! Example. I ate ice cream for "desert" or "dessert". Not sure of the correct word to use? Then use the picture dictionary and choose the correct spelling!

You can find the app in the Google Chrome's Web Store FREE! It works with Google Chrome's web browser in Google Drive with all of Google Documents.

Check out Leander's Assistive Technology In Action blog, for an example of Google's Read Write App and how technology is being used in the classroom's of Leander ISD!

Cognitively Guided Instruction

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 23:10:00 +0000

What is CGI??

Understanding how children's mathematical thinking develops and reflection on how to help children build up their concepts from within (Carpenter 1999).

Children's Mathematics Cognitively Guided Instruction, Thomas P. Carpenter, 1999.

After attending a series of Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) sessions, provided by our district, it was a no brainer for me, this is the only way to teach math!! My students turned into little math investigators! They were exploring and discussing math and developing their own understating of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

I promise, if you as a teacher have not tried CGI in your classroom then you have no idea all the math your students are truly capable of and already know!!

The hardest part, as a teacher, will be letting go of the teaching. Once you stop talking and start listening, you will finally be teaching! Seriously, I kept hearing this and it hit home one day when I was with a student who was just not getting the concept of what I was teaching. After trying several different strategies I eventually said, "Okay, you teach me." It became apparent, the misunderstanding, as he was explaining it to me. The CGI for his learning became simple once I stopped talking and started listening!!

Here is link to read more on CGI from the developers. Cognitively Guided Instruction: A Knowledge Base for Reform in Primary Mathematics Instruction

The most importan thing to know in CGI is; there are three levels of developmental strategies.

1. Direct Modeling Strategies- These kids must see exactly how the problem goes! They need to see every number.

2. Counting Strategies- These kids are FINGER counters. They dont necessarily need to see every number, but use a counting strategies to go up or down.

3. Number Fact- Theses kids know facts and know how to get to other facts from "derived facts".

A teacher needs to identify these students and place them into these category and then build their understanding of number sense to move them to the next step.

Don't tell your students how to start a problem. Only help them to "unpack" the problem. You might have to ask a question 10 ways to get them to figure out where they might need to start, but you have let THEM figure it out so they can own a strategie that works for THEM not YOU! Just remember, the one doing the talking is the one doing the learning! So teachers, STOP talking and START listening!

Below are examples of 3rd and 5th graders work, using CGI math problems. You can see the difference in strategies. They all got the answer but in 3 different ways.

Counter

Counters and Direct Modeling

Direct Modler and Derived Facts

Your job as a CGI teacher is guide their thinking and develop higher level thinkers through the use of inquiry! will be posting lessons and centers from my CGI classroom soon!

So I was roaming through Pinterst and found such a great, crafty idea from Roaming Rolfe's blogspot! Thank you for the inspiration!

You know how I love turquoise, so again I found a fun way to incorporate it into my decor! The color is Martha Stewart Lagoon, leftover from a previous project ( Turquoise Armorie)! Here is how I did it! Now my mixer and knife holder all match! I'm loving my kitchen even more!!

Wooden Photo Project

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 18:04:00 +0000

Want to make some cool gifts for family or friends?! Check out Design By Nicola FB page for a great tutorial on how to transfer photos on to wood or visit her website Design By Nicola.

I followed this easy tutorial from Design By Nicola, Part 1 and Part 2, and then added fun embellishments to mine for Father's Day gifts! Along the way I discovered a cool new way to display family photos, as you can see I was running out of space! I just Velcroed the blocks of wood to our armorie (previous blog before and after armorie ) so I could move them around and change up the design! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Super Cool and Fun to Make!!

Scented Nail Polish

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:13:00 +0000

Strawberry, Orange, Fruit Punch, Banana, Lime!!!!!

Okay, so I saw this scented nail polish and I really wanted to try it! For only $10.00, I wasn't quite sure if it could really possibly smell like fruit. Once I opened it, really all I could smell was a tiny hint of the flavor on top of the strong smell of polish. But once it dried, I could smell the fruit! Some flavors are stronger than others, strawberry and lime, but overall I could smell a hint of fruit. The polish does not go on very smooth and has a matte finish, so I covered it with a sparkly top coat also from Claire's. Overall it was fun trying out the polish! The turquoise -fruit punch was my favorite!

Here are the links to their website of these products.

Delicious Cake Pops!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:27:00 +0000

My family can't resist these yummy cake pops! I make them, display them and wait for them to disappear one by one! I made a batch this week for our new neighbors that moved in next door. It was a sweet, yummy welcome to your new home gift! Everyone always ask how I keep them from running down the stick, so here is how I do it.

Here is what you need

These are real cake pops. I don't mix the icing in the cake and use chocolate.

This is the trick!

Use any cake recipe that you like. Here is the trick, if you don't want them to run down your stick, don't add as much water to your batter. When the direction say to mix in 1 cup of water, only had 1/3 cup water. The batter has to be like dough.

Use a cake pop/donut maker.

Bake in a cake pop/donut maker, bake 5-6 minutes. Spay with cooking spray each time so they don't stick.

Let cool on a rack.

Don't ice until completely cool, about 20 minutes.

Use any icing that you like.

I tried new icing flavors from Duncan Hines called Frosting Creations. I split the can into 3 parts and made original, cotton candy and cherry vanilla. They have many new flavors to choose from and actually were very good and easy to use!

Display and Enjoy!

Sick a stick into the cake ball, be sure not to poke it all the way through. Here, I used beverage stirs because I like the colors, they were the colors of spring. Most groceries stores don't sell sucker sticks so be creative, next I might use pixie sticks.

I also made these for my sons first birthday party but with homemade butter cream icing and they were delicious!

Lollipop Cookies

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 19:02:00 +0000

Kids love cookies and suckers, so why not make cookies on a stick!
My son and I made these fun lollipop cookies for a yummy snack!

Here's what you will need

Divide dough into 5 equal parts and add color

Roll each color into smaller balls about the size of a grape

Combine one color of each small ball and roll together

Roll between fingers to get a long skinny line about 10"

Coil dough up, use your finger as a guide to coil

Insert sticks and bake for 7 mins. Let cool on rack. Add ribbon to sticks

Decorate and Display

Eat em up! Yum!

Caught you sneaking one off the table!! But mom, they are so good!

Silk Dyed Easter Eggs

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:07:00 +0000

Silk Dyed Easter Eggs

This was the first time I attempted to make silk dyed Easter eggs and it sure was fun! A little tricky but they came out pretty cool.

I went to the local thrift shop and bought material that was %100 silk. I had to dig through hundreds of shirts but I did find some pretty cool patterns and the best part they were all under $2 bucks!

Tie egg with a twist tie or rubber band

The material has to be %100 silk or it won't work. Wrap the egg tightly with the printed side of the silk on the egg. Make sure it is nice and tight because any part of the egg not touching the silk will not have color. ( I have seen some wrap the egg with thread to make sure every part of the egg as color).

Cover with pillow case and tie

Cover in plain fabric and tie up tight. I cut up an old pillowcase. Try not get air trapped in there because they will float up when you boil them.

Boil 25-30

Add 1/4 cup vinegar to water and bring to a boil. Let the eggs boil for 25-30 minutes. Take out and let cool for 20 more minutes. The anticipation of seeing how they came out is so much fun.

Display and Enjoy!

Let them dry on a cooling rack for about an hour. Display them in a fun creative way!

Happy Easter!

I decided to add a little color to my sons room without painting, so I came up with this fun banner idea. I got a chance to use up some scrap paper and some old cardstock paper that I have had for a couple of years. It took less than 2 hrs and added a fun punch of color to his room. The sky is the limit when it comes to adding a banner to your child's room. Pick out some fun paper and get hanging! Here is how I did mine.

Valentine Sugar Cookies

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:45:00 +0000

Valentine Sugar Cookies

What is Valentine's Day without some delicious homemade Sugar Cookies?! My boyfriend and I had a double date for Valentine's Day on Sunday and not only did we have an awesome Mediterranean take out dinner, we all made sugar cookies together. Oh yes, we got the men involved too.

Everybody is always wanting to now how I make my icing so I thought I would share.

First, start by baking sugar cookies. I always use Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix in the bag. I follow the recipe but add about 1/2 cup of flour and a splash of almond extract to the dough. The flour helps the dough to be not so sticky making for easier cut outs. The thinner you make the cookies, the less time they will need to bake. Sugar cookies can be tricky and easy to burn because only the bottom starts to turn dark. For thin cookies on a dark cookie sheet bake for about 7 mins. For thicker cookies on a dark cookie sheet bake for about 8 1/2 mins. Look at the bottom edges, once they start to turn golden brown take them out and transfer to a cooling rack.

Sugar cookies out of the oven and cooling on a rack

Sugar Cookie Icing Ingredients

Ingredients for Sugar Cookie icing;

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

Splash of almond extract

2 tbsp light Kayro Syrup ( makes the shine)

food color

Pipe on the outline of your cookies

Outlining your cookies with a thicker icing will keep the middle icing from running off. o outline your cookies make your icing thicker by adding more powdered sugar. Pipe it on with a decorating bag. Let the outline dry for about an hour.

Color in your cookie with the back of a spoon

To fill in your cookies use the back of a spoon and color in the outline of your cookies. A little icing goes a long way. The more shine you want the more Kayro Syrup you add. You don't want your icing too thin so it should be thick enough not to run off your spoon. Let dry for about an hour.

Use a medicine dropper for circles

To add dots or decorations, make a small batch of icing that is thin. Use a medicine dropper to drop on dots. The filling icing does not have to be all the way dry but if you ice too soon the white icing will mix with the food coloring and become a different color.

Drag a toothpick through the circle to make a cute heart design.

Everybody helping!! So much fun!

Decorating with Turquoise

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:15:00 +0000

Recently we restored an old piece of furniture and painted it a fun turquoise color, Lagoon from Martha Stewart paint collection. Now, every time I walk by this piece of furniture it makes me so HAPPY! I wondered why this was so I decided to do a little more research on the decorating with the color turquoise.

From accent pieces to main pieces, the color turquoise can give any room in the house a punch of color. Turquoise is known to be calming, refreshing, sophisticated and is equally popular among men and women. This makes perfect since! My very "macho" boyfriend agreed on this color, after I suggested it, and now we both love this color in our living room. The color pops and makes the room inviting and fun! I decided to compile some of my favorite inspiration pieces using this fun color in every room in the house.

Color Game for Preschoolers

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:00:00 +0000

This was an idea I came up with when my one year old son starting digging in my craft box and began pulling tissue paper out piece by piece.

On the fridgorator I keep colors clipped up on a magnet and when he decides to pull them off we talk about each of the colors.

Well now we have added matching tissue paper squares. We sit on the kitchen floor and match up the color of the paper to the color of the card. While doing this I make sure to use several learning modalities. We had a teachable moment and so I rolled with it! YAY!

We use visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), kinesthetic (moving), and tactile (touching) as part of our leaning styles. While he krinkles the paper I say, "Yellow, Yellow, Yellow" and then I will say, "Orange, Orange, Orange." Then, I will lay them out and say, "Where's the orange?" (he picks it up) Then I say, "Where's the yellow?" (he picks it up)....and so on. He gets it right 4 out 5 times and he is only one! YAY! He gets so excited and it's fun for him! We only do a couple of colors at a time but mix up which colors we use. We plan on doing this atleast twice a week now.

Here is a great website from education.com that talks about how to use different modalities!

Valentine's Day Centerpiece

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:54:00 +0000

If you plan on having a Valentine's Day party why not offer your guest DIY arts and crafts. Load up a table with different materials to spark their creative side. Your guest will have fun choosing from a variety of arts and crafts to make and take home.

Here are some different ideas to get started with.

To make a valentine bouquet include :

Half pint size mason jars
Sucker Sticks
Valentine Candy
Valentine Embellishments
Gumballs (pink, red, white)
Ribbon

Here are a couple more options for crafts on your Valentine's table.

This is how I made my heart garland.
Fold craft paper in half and draw half of a heart.
Cut it out and and open it up. You will have a whole hart that is symmetrical. Punch two holes in the top to lace the ribbon through.

Valentine's Wreath

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:00:00 +0000

Valentine's Day Wreath

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if your looking to jazz up your entry way this a great way to do it! I got this fun idea from Homemade Ginger. I added ribbon and a bow to mine to set the mood for a romantic Valentine's Day Wreath. It's super easy and fun to make! Here is what I used. You can also purchase this wreath from me on Etsy.com

Materials:
Felt
Scissors
Pins
Styrofoam
Ribbon
Glass of Wine (optional, those are a lot of circles)

I cut out 150 felt circles using the spool from the ribbon as my outline. Once you cut the circles fold them in half and then fold them in half again. Pin the point of the felt into the Styrofoam to makea a nice little ruffle.

Only cover the front of the foam so that it stays nice and flush against the door. Pin each end of the ribbon into the foam and tie a knot to hang on the hook.

This is a simple and fun craft to do any time of the year. Just change the color of the felt to match the season. So DIY crafters, grab you a glass of wine a pair of scissors and start cutting! Have fun! Happy Valentines!

Reading Readiness for Preschoolers

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:17:00 +0000

Reading Readiness
by Donna Lybarger, an early childhood education teacher from Houston, TX.

Learning the alphabet is a major milestone for preschoolers. But in addition to being able to rattle off the ABC song, they need to learn to connect letters with the sounds they make, and you can help! As you’re out shopping, point to things as you coast down the grocery aisles. Make casual observations and ask questions, such as “Broccoli starts with the “buh” sound. What letter do you think that is?”

Use every excuse to play with letters. When your child says a word like “cat”, ask her what other words she can make by rhyming, or give her hints like, “What word might happen if you switch the “cah” sound and use a “sss” sound instead?” Challenge your child to come up with words that start with the same letter as his name, or the same letter as Grandma’s.

Make an Alphabet Book
by Donna Lybarger

Topics: Phonics, Preschool

Let your child play with scissors! Put her to work, creating a book that will keep her busy, and help her practice her letters, too. Long after all those preschool finger paintings have left the front of your refrigerator, you can look back at this book, for a glimpse at what your preschooler thought was special.
What You Need:
• Construction Paper
• Glue stick
• Markers
• Magazines, newspapers, stickers, and other materials with pictures
• Binding material (a hole punch and yarn, staples, or whatever else you choose)

What You Do:
1. Ask your child to pick 26 pages of construction paper. Take a marker and write one letter of the alphabet at the top of each page.

2. It’s time to work that alphabet! Give your child a stack of newspapers, photos, magazines, and anything else with pictures that you don’t mind cutting up. Start with the letter A and ask your child to go through the gathered materials in search of words that begin with that letter-- apples from the grocery store ad, Aunt Thelma’s picture from last Easter, an alligator from a magazine, an ant sticker… If your child needs help, you can make the sound the letter makes, to help her in her quest. When she makes a mistake, gently correct her, but without criticizing. For example, “That word starts with “eh” and the letter A sounds like “ah”.

3. After your child has collected all the images, ask him to help you label each one. Your child can tell you what the picture and you can write the name below. Or older preschoolers might want to take a crack at it themselves, writing the words with a little help from mom or dad.

4. Repeat this process with each letter of the alphabet. For tougher letters, like x, you may need to go to the computer and print out some pictures to have on hand.

5. Once you’ve finished with all the letters, stack the pages in order, from A to Z. Let your child decide on a title, for example, Michael’s Alphabet Book, and then write the name on a cover page, with a byline beneath. Let your child decorate to his heart’s content.

6. You’ve reached the final stretch! Now it’s time to bind your book. The fastest and easiest way is to punch holes in all of the pages and use yarn to tie the book together. If you don’t have yarn or a hole punch, you can use staples. Or, for a spill proof version, take your creation to the copy store and have them laminate and bind it for you.

Don’t forget to read your book! As you look over the letters, both now and in the future, you’ll remember how much fun it was to create (and how hard it was to find a picture of a xylophone!)
