Your April calendar delivered . When we make our Idea for Every Day Calendars, we do it with you and your learner(s) in mind.  We select a holiday for every day and sieve through treasure troves on the internet in search of complementary link pairings.  Sometimes the links are academic in nature, sometimes they work on social-emotional development, and other times they are purely for your entertainment.  But always, we select them with care.  We only choose activities that we would want to engage in with the littles in our lives and hope that you will find them useful for the littles in yours. This month, we'll reveal one week at a time so we can provide detail about each daily activity.  If you're the type that would rather fill out your schedule as far into the future as possible, then download your April calendar now , and get to planning. Get your April Idea for Every Day Calendar Here! If, however, you're the type that lives day-by-day and likes to hear all

We promised the day would come, and so it has.  Today, we release to the world comprehension activities to complement the story of Victoria Cogsworth, the STEAM Team Technologist.  If you have yet to meet her, no worries, your time is now.  You may read her story online , or download the Wolfe Pack for her story and more. Overview In the pack, you'll find before, during and after reading activities to engage your learners.  Furthermore, we believe in meeting not just the needs of the learners, but also the needs of the leaders.  To this end, you'll find five levels of scaffolding for learners and a selection of instructional styles for leaders.   Before Reading Based on Silas' story , discuss predictions regarding Victoria and explore what a technologist might do.  We've included options for a class-based discussion, small group discussions, and a worksheet for independent thinking.  So, choose the option that works best for you, leaders! Then, prepare

(Updated 7/29/2024.) Your marriage is meant to be beautiful.   It’s meant to be a gift.   Do you know that?   God’s design of marriage is symbolic of the love Jesus has toward His church ( Ephesians 5:22-32 ).   That never-ending, self-sacrificing, all-consuming love.   Does your marriage feel that way?   Are you enjoying your marriage?   Do you feel blessed by it?   To be honest, I don’t always feel blessed in my marriage.   There are times my marriage is not enjoyable, and perhaps the furthest model from Jesus’ love for His church that you can imagine. Sometimes it even leaves me wondering: The truth is: I know there is hope for marriage. I know because it is of God's design.  But I also know that marriage is hard. After all, marriage is the process of two sinful people working together to become one. Marriage is a fight. A constant fight that we must choose to keep fighting for. My favorite song about marriage is  " Love is not a Fight " by Warren Barf

Ashlynn and Alexander, the latest additions to the STEAM Team, await your introduction here.  If you have yet to meet the other members, please do stop by and say hello to: Silas, the Scientist Victoria, the Technologist But for now, please do go on and meet Ashlynn and Alexander.  They've been waiting to meet you. Ashlynn turned to Alexander and snapped, “WE need to get the project going, kinda like soon, if you get my drift.”   Alex shrugged his shoulders as he stared into his new book, well old book but new to him.   “We have time sis.   Besides, we need the tail for it before we can finish anyways.”   Ashlynn looked annoyed and turned back to the saw table, putting her goggles back in place, as the whine of the saw began.   Sawdust flew all around her like fairy dust, but with a woody smell and not sparkly at all.   She absolutely loved to shape wood, she would do it with a knife and had several small figurines laying all over her office table off in
