I really need to learn to use bookmarks better so I don't lose track of where these ideas come from! If it was your idea please remind me! I can blame it on pregnancy brain :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782513928143522368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-56404366943703944802010-10-06T09:18:21.920-04:002010-10-06T09:18:21.920-04:00First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your soon-to-be m...First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your soon-to-be member of your family:) Second, I love love love the magic seed lesson. It opens up a wonderful opportunity for your students' soul and dreams to come through.

So now I guess I have two!<br />Thanks Kristin. <br />Amy, we got the idea from the Tiny Seed book. In the end the Tiny Seed grows taller than a house! We brainstormed about things our magic seed could grow into. I started drawing a lot of their ideas on the whiteboard as we brainstormed. The leaves and flowers we brainstormed all different kinds of lines we learned and reviewed that vocabulary. I would like to plant tiny "mystery seeds" and see what they grow into as a follow up. Maybe one for each first grade? I just got a grow light donated wahoo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782513928143522368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-44532585514582988932010-09-30T14:17:28.244-04:002010-09-30T14:17:28.244-04:00Ok, love the story about the "one kid" a...Ok, love the story about the "one kid" and don't mean to skip over that, because I have often had years where "one kid" was so inspiring, but I was wondering...is this a project where you motivated the kids and let them take off with their ideas, or did you have a demonstration and/or examples of your own to inspire them? Great idea!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16311051242716129871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-26985836191269203102010-09-30T11:55:17.577-04:002010-09-30T11:55:17.577-04:00You have some very lucky students!

I love the joy in the drawing. So...Just fabulous! I love the joy in the drawing. Sometimes, I think, our "one kid" picks us, rather than us doing the picking. Mine used to be the radiant little girl who gave me my morning hug, every morning, no matter what, right through 6th grade. I don't see her too often any more, but I think maybe I think SHE chose ME and it was special to both of us.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-46510022916072629712010-09-29T21:44:58.891-04:002010-09-29T21:44:58.891-04:00I know she's only in First Grade pretty great ...I know she's only in First Grade pretty great sounding out and handwriting!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782513928143522368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-26453989770800937872010-09-29T21:33:25.382-04:002010-09-29T21:33:25.382-04:00awww.

It can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of our jobs with 125 students coming in and out of our rooms (and the chaos that this sometimes means). But this philosophy is so right on...I think any teacher needs to make this their mantra. <3 Thank you for sharing! You are an awesome, inspiring teacher yourself!LThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933139796357711274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228656108960147265.post-91735541115264013722010-09-29T21:06:08.210-04:002010-09-29T21:06:08.210-04:00What a great story and picture!

I look for the one kid in my day that is positive and full of smiles. I may not have them in class that day but sometimes just passing in the hall helps. Just one smile. <br />I may have to borrow your Art idea too.
