Life as a Lange: First Day Jitters
http://lifeasalange.blogspot.com/2015/08/first-day-jitters.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. It has been a busy summer, and things are winding down as we stare the start of another school year in the face. Carley is gearing up to be a big Pre-K kid and couldn't be more excited about this new title. Things are slightly. Different this fall though, as she isn't the only one returning to the classroom. That's right.I'm gearing up to go back to preschool as well! I was offered a job teaching at Carley's school in the 4 year old room and I couldn't refuse!

Switching Classrooms: Financial Friday: Broken Toys
http://raisingtyandza.blogspot.com/2013/08/financial-friday-broken-toys.html
Friday, August 9, 2013. Financial Friday: Broken Toys. Tearing up broken toys! I saw this on Pinterest months ago: giving your kids broken toys and a screwdriver. We had a garage sale a bit ago, and we cleaned out the house for old toys and nonworking. I tried putting new batteries in this ABC game, and nothing. I declared it toast, and gave it to Ty and Za to "fix." They were thrilled. Ty really thought he could fix it. He was very methodical in taking it apart, and separated the pieces. My son Ty (he i...

Switching Classrooms: Five 3-year-old Activities (for when you can't move)
http://raisingtyandza.blogspot.com/2012/10/ten-3-year-old-activities-for-when-you.html
Sunday, October 21, 2012. Five 3-year-old Activities (for when you can't move). I have been glued to a rocking chair this last month. I know that moms of more than one child know what I mean: I am limited with my play with Za. Baby C.J. requires lots of feeding, rocking, diaper changing, and repeating. That leaves me with a 3-year-old who needs attention. I would prefer she not. Spend all day in front of the television. 2 Paper and crayons. This seems simple, right? Za has a baby as well, which often doe...

Switching Classrooms: Educational Theory of the Week: Bloom's Taxonomy
http://raisingtyandza.blogspot.com/2010/04/educational-theory-of-week-blooms.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. Educational Theory of the Week: Bloom's Taxonomy. A new month, and a new educational theory in practice. As I suggested last week (or maybe more than a week ago), we'll look at Bloom's Taxonomy. And how it relates to our children's everyday learning. Why is this useful? Example scenario: Ty tying his shoes (which he loves to practice). 1 Knowledge: Ty knows what shoes are and that they need tied. 3 Application: Ty makes an 'X' (he is applying a letter to the situation of tying shoe...

Thursday, October 31, 2013. What I Love About Communication Junction. For the past two months, baby C.J. and I attended the first Sign and Play class through Communication Junction. Official graduates (I have the certificate in the baby book! We developed together the best parts of the class in a handy top-five list. That's Abbey, with baby C.J. sucking her thumb in the back. 1 An educational setting. CJ and I don't get tons of one-on-one time, poor third child. She gets lots of mom time with the oth...

Switching Classrooms: Thanksgiving
http://raisingtyandza.blogspot.com/2013/11/thanksgiving.html
Thursday, November 28, 2013. I started writing this almost a month ago. Every time I start to finish it, I can't. On Christmas Eve, I am going to finish it, no matter what. Today is Thanksgiving. I have appreciation for my family, health, and food every year. This year I am especially thankful for my home. People sort through debris for baby footprint cards, first-cut locks of hair, baptismal gowns, and first birthday party invitations. My neighbors who survived the tornado will need to talk about their ...

Switching Classrooms: Education Speak
http://raisingtyandza.blogspot.com/p/theories.html
Teachers incorporate all sorts of "theories" and "educational ideas" into their lesson plans and dealings with students. Parents should know about these - because they influence their children. Don't be overwhelmed- here is a rundown of terms, theories, and ideas I frequently use on the blog. If you don't see the term here, please ask and I will add to this page. After all, parents should know the language teachers use concerning students, right? Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart"). Linguistic intel...

Switching Classrooms: Toys
http://raisingtyandza.blogspot.com/2013/11/toys.html
Wednesday, November 6, 2013. In my living room - not the designated playroom - I have the following large. Blue Cookie Monster singing thing. Supermarket scanner (what one-year does not know how to scan groceries? Ball popping thing, ironically, with only one ball. Pink caterpillar singing thing. LULU, the well worn and loved singing octopus. A green box of books. A 31 bag of smaller toys (you know those 31 parties? The biggest, stand-alone bag they sell? Here is one situation:. C Let them figure it out.
