Quick Match

A quick and inexpensive matching center is so simple to make; you can have a variety of activities in no time.  Simply buy two identical teaching posters and cut the objects out of one.  Show the students how to match the cut-out object with the one on the poster.

For variety, you can cut out objects from both posters and turn them face down, showing your children how to play Memory by matching the same objects. 

I apologize for the quality of the pictures.  I will be working on that in the future.  Also, I noticed that my last post is not letting anyone download the "To Do" and "Menu" lists.  If anyone knows how I can add a link that will take you to the many wonderful pdfs I want to share, please let me know.  In the meantime, I am adding the lists again below.  If you would like them for free, please leave your email in the messages and I would love to send them to you!  And I have more great things to share!

I'm Baaack!

After an extremely long hiatus, I have decided to start blogging again.  I picked today because it’s my birthday and I wanted to something for ME.  I have a passion helping young children learn, but don’t have a full time classroom.  I’ve got to find some way to share my ideas and hopefully it will be a blessing to teachers and moms.

Why “My Broken Bootstraps?”  I am a very strong person and have always pulled myself up by my bootstraps when the going gets tough.  During the past few years when life dealt me some blows, I would grit my teeth and pull myself up by my bootstraps.  One day my bootstraps broke.  I didn’t have anything left to give.  That’s when I truly began to understand that in my weakness He is strong.  I have found that it is much easier to rest in God.  Life circumstances have not gotten any easier, but I now have the Peace that passes all understanding. 

My plan is to give freebies on Mondays.  I know in the blogging world Fridays are the go to days for freebies, but I think that most people could use a pick me up on Mondays, so that’s my plan. 

Because it’s my birthday, I want to share a gift with you.  I plan to have a lot of teaching and home organization tips that will be fun and useful.  Today I am giving a calendar, to do list, and grocery list set.  More often than not I will have educational ideas and downloads, but I thought this would be useful for everyone.  Enjoy!
