This file has a page for each letter of the alphabet. Students color the letter, read a sentence about the letter and sound, find the focus letter, and practice writing the letter. These practice pages would be great as morning work, homework, literacy center, or during word work. These can be used as regular worksheets; they can also be printed and placed in sheet protectors to use in a center. Students love doing these papers over and over with dry erase markers as a literacy center. $

The oldest bird of prey nest ever recorded, a 2500 year old falcon nest, has been discovered in Greenland. Three other nests, each over 1,000 years old, have also been found, one of which contains feathers from a bird that lived more than 600 years ago. Kurt Burnham of the University of Oxford: "To date, this is the longest continually used (and currently used) raptor nest ever documented."

Three human skulls found in Gough’s Cave, Somerset, England were carefully worked into the shape of bowls, indicating that they were used to drink from. At 14,700 years old, these are the oldest skull cups ever discovered, and they were surrounded by other human remains that had been snapped to get to the marrow inside, suggesting cannibalism.

I did this version of wall art. It cost me less than $20. I found frames that were $1 each and got 9. And spent $10 on a big pack of paper and only used a fraction.

Colorado: Hot Sulphur Springs. These baths were originally discoverd by the Ute Indians who believed that they held natural healing powers. Then they were acquired by William Byers, of Byers Peak fame, and the pools were turned into a resort that has been operating for the last 140 years. There are 22 pools varying in temperature from 95F to 112F.

6,000 years ago, the Sumerians of Ancient Mesopotamia were “given” a counting system that, over time, has revealed a coincidental numeric pattern found in geometry, harmonic frequencies, Earth cycles, time and space.

"I saw this man on the Metro this past Monday, and asked him who the flowers were for. They were for his wife. They’ve been married for 47 years. Every Monday, he brings her home flowers after work."

In July 1991, nine skeletons were exhumed from a shallow mass grave near Ekaterinburg, Siberia, a few miles from the infamous cellar room where the last tsar and his family had been murdered seventy-three years before. But were these the bones of the Romanovs? And if these were their remains, where were the bones of the two younger Romanovs supposedly murdered with the rest of the family? Was Anna Anderson, celebrated for more than sixty years in newspapers, books, and film, really Grand Duchess

Just made these amazing cookies last night. Full of great lemony flavor. Took them to work where they were a hit...but I admit; I ate most of them! Mimi

Love this idea for keeping kids stuff organized inside or out. A silhouette machine was used to cut black vinyl labels for each bucket. The galvanized buckets and shelf were purchased at Home Depot.

WHERE has this been the last 5 years?!?!?!?! We've driven ourselves crazy trying to find a baby gate for our funky stairs and iron railing. I'm making one of these ASAP before Grey gets anymore mobile.

Daycare Button Tree...the kids loved doing these...the trees were hot glued together using a dowel & a 1 1/2" square block with a hole drilled in the middle. For the branches, I disassembled a wreath & used 3 of the stems, trimming after gluing to create the angled branches. Kids tacky-glued buttons & a star at the top today...and were thrilled to take their treasures home!

Baked Spaghetti is something that we learned about from a dear friend whose children we both used to work with. What started out as a job for the two of us, over the years, became a second home. ...

letter hide and seek.. I hid large letters around the room. I then placed the small letter squares that matched the letters that were hidden into a paper bag. I had each child pick a letter out of the bag and they had to find the letter that was on the small letter square.. After we found all of the large letters we placed them in alphabetical order on the floor.
