Using Flannelgraph and Props to Teach the Bible
This is the third post about using flannelgraph to teach the Bible. Read the 1st post here. I have talked before about my utopia childhood. Another element of that was my Pastor and his amazing wife, Susan. To say that Susan was near sainthood would be an understatement. She taught me the Bible in ways that most kids could only dream of. One of ...

Almost a year ago I posted how we recycled crayons using the stove top. This time I wanted to try the oven. Much easier! This activity can be done almost entirely by your preschooler. The adult just helps with the oven part of the process. No matter how you melt the crayons, remove the paper and sort the crayons by colors ...
As Easy As Riding a Bike…Unless You Have SPD
Last summer we decided it was time for Bubs to lose the training wheels. We were hit with strong resistance. So, we do what all good parents do...we took the bike to therapy. Ms. W was more than happy to help. Bubs wasn't the first kid that she has worked with this on. He didn't give her the resistance, and it also helped that "Ms. W said we were ...

Each weekly Lesson Plan at ABCJLM includes a link to Letter of the Week ideas as well as Letter Posters. Two weeks ago, W was Letter of the Week. After printing off the Letter W Poster, I sat down with the kids and brainstormed words that ...
