You are really going to town over here! I just wanted to tell you that my 13 yr old may be teaching our PK-K this year. We won a raffle at our Resource Center of Hands-on curriculum. Guess what? You have to be a scientist to figure it out. One look at the leader book and I knew it was a no-go. So I am letting her check your lessons out. I think she will understand these MUCH better & be totally into all the goodies.

What happened to STill Crazy?

Debbie-
Some of the curriculums are really mind blowing. If your daughter needs a certain lesson, let me know and I will be glad to post it.

Tell your daughter good luck! I think the younger the students are, the harder it is to teach them. :)

I don't know what happened to Still Crazy. I guess I have CCD on my mind too much lately. LOL!

Okay, I tried to go over again this morning just in case there was a blogger blunder. It says the blog is only open to invited readers. I thought maybe you closed it down. I know you haven't posted much there for awhile.

Unknown said...

Yes, it's me AGAIN! LOL

That Humongous Book of Preschool Ideas book looks awesome!

Are you still with 1st grade or teaching PK-K this year. Or....are you taking a break?

Amazing_Grace said...

Debbie-
I'll be teaching first grade again this year, but we still do not have a Kindergarten or third grade teacher yet (CCD starts September 13th). Something tells me I might have to teach both. Our congregation numbers are way down too. :(

Hubby will be teaching 6th grade again and our son will be his teen helper.

Are you teaching this year?
