World on Fire

Did you see the news? Another terrorist attack, more hate, more dead. And once again politics and agendas are being pushed to the forefront. High profile leaders and politicians are telling us not to pray. God can't fix this.

Do we know any of the life stores from the people lost in this terrorist attack? We don't because there is not time to remember the lost and to pray for their souls and their loved ones left behind. We can't let a good crisis go to waste. So, once again, our leaders are ignoring the simple facts and attempting to push their agenda - defying the constitution doesn't bother these people. They will continue to attempt to remove God from our country, along with some other constitutionally protected possessions. All for the simple reason of establishing control and dependence on them ... the government. We don't need Jesus Christ because we have Big Daddy Government and they will save us. God can't fix this, but more executive orders can. Right? Well, if you believe that then I have some ocean front property in Arizona. Great price!!

In the end, though, God can fix this and He already has. We have a Savior in Jesus Christ. He died on the cross for our salvation. "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." (Revelation 4:8) And when He comes again there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth and he will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. (Revelation 21:1-4)

The world is on fire, but it will be put out. Through God's love it will be put out. 

Colors, Shapes, and Patterns ... Oh, My!

Little ones love to sing, so what better way to teach them about shapes and colors then through song? I recently created a few products for my Teachers Pay Teachers store just for teaching young children about colors, shapes, and patterns. 

The product bundle includes both the teaching and interactive power point presentation and the PDF with lesson ideas, worksheets, and manipulatives. Each product is available separately, also. 

The 10 colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, and white and the six shapes are circle, square, triangle, diamond, oval, and rectangle. 

The PDF includes lesson ideas for five days, two following directions worksheets to color six shapes, six pages of shape manipulatives to cut out for sorting, nine pages of color pictures to cut out for sorting, five worksheets with two colors on each page - the student will trace the color word, copy the color word,and then color the picture to match. The PDF also includes one worksheet for completing AB patterns and two pages of picture manipulatives to cut out for making patterns. 

The Power Point includes songs/poems for six shapes and 10 colors. It also includes activity pages for find the shape, tell me the shape, and AB pattern completion. The activity pages for tell me the shape use animations to make the shapes appear and the children can call out the name of the shape when they see it. This could be a fun and interactive classroom game! The activities for the pattern pages include animations to make the last picture in the pattern appear after the children have decided what will come next. What a great way to self-check!

These products would be a great tool for interactive learning!
