MeckMom’s Teaching Tips: Easy Adversity Object Lesson

I use this simple object lesson to help my classes understand the purposes of adversity in our daily life.

Personal Progress Planner Cards

Generational Family Chart

DSC_0017Love at first sight. That is what I felt when I found this cool generational family chart by Loni Harris of Cactus & Olive. It’s cool. It’s hip. It’s something I would display in my home and I think you may like it too! It is currently unavailable, but I am crossing my fingers that given some new interest, she will once again have them available.

Take care, Brenda
