Green Projects for Kids

Last week My Springfield Mommy shared Terracycle Brigades and added some coupon links for you to get started. These Brigades are incredible. Through them, TerraCycle and its sponsors help schools or other community groups raise money for a charitable organization of the collector’s choice, which can include your child's school. Participation is free and all shipping costs are paid. To date, over 1.8 million units of waste have been diverted from landfill. Plus TerraCycle and its sponsors paid over $800,000 dollars to over 50,000 schools or non-profits. To see the full range of items TerraCycle collects and pays for, visit www.terracycle.net.

Emily of Terracycle shared a really cool upcycling DIY which Kara of Ramblings of a Marine Wife did a post on you can do with your kidlets. Here is Kara's idea on how to take some of your own trash to make a wallet:

Food Wrapper Wallet

(click here for full template)

Materials:
1 clean, empty food package (at least 7 inches by 5 1/2 inches in size)
1 ruler
1 pen
1 pair of scissors
tape
1 self-adhesive Velcro fastener

Directions:
1. Cut a rectangle that is 7 inches by 5 1/2 inches in the package. Centered inside the rectangle, draw a smaller rectangle that is 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches. This smaller rectangle will be 1 1/2 inches from each edge.

2. From the top edge of the smaller rectangle, draw a semicircle that intersects with the top of the large rectangle and the corners of the small rectangle. Repeat for the other three sides. Cut around these lines.

3. Fold in all four semicircles so your cut piece folds up to the size of the small rectangle. Tape the bottom flap and two side flaps in place.

4. Attach one side of the Velcro fastener on the inside of the top flap. Fold down the flap so the other side of the Velcro attaches to the outside of the bottom flap.

If you'd like to join or start your own TerraCycle Brigade, go to www.terracycle.net.

thanks Sheryl!

Summer Reading for Kindergarten

School is just around the corner and if you have a young one getting ready to take on the adventure of Kindergarten, you may be wondering if your soon-to-be student is ready.

My Atlanta Mommy's good friend Jennifer of Syllables Reading Center told me about a must have book called Straight Talk About Reading by Susan L. Hall and Louisa C. Moats several years ago. I have it thoroughly highlighted, paper clipped, and side-noted. The book is full of ideas of ways parents can make a difference during the early years.

Straight Talk About Reading gives tips for fun games and activities to do with your little ones, from teaching your toddler the alphabet to activities you can do with your third grader. The games and activities are simple and inexpensive to create.
The authors recommend several books to help your soon to be kindergartner with their reading skills.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judith Barrett
Make Way for the Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
Doctor DeSoto by William Steig
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suess
Curious George by H.A. Rey
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess
The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush by Tomie dePaula
Babushkas's Doll by Patricia Polacco
Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
Mirette on the High Wire by Emily Arnold McCully

Straight Talk About Reading has been, by far, one of the most helpful books I have ever read. It helped me to be the teacher, the mentor, and the advocate I need to be. I am not an educator, but the book breaks things down, keeps it simple and straightforward, defining terms you will need to know like digraph, phoneme, and phonological awareness.

You can also check out the Codebreaker Camps at Syllables Reading Center for your Rising First and Second graders.
