Girls' Camp {June 15} Monday Made It

The first three are from my week as camp director for my church's Girls' Camp. They had a fun filled week of different activities and learning about the outdoors. They went on a hike, did a service project by planting flowers at a senior living community, spent time canoeing, making a couple of crafts, learning archery, wilderness survival, preparing meals, and being spiritually uplifted. It was great, but I am glad that it is over for this year. :)

We made headbands from old t-shirts. This yellow one is an example I made. 

Cut 2 straps that go around your head.

 Cross them and match the ended. 

Hot glue the 4 ends together.

I added a bow and used a small tab of fabric to give it more a finished look.

This girl made her own by cutting three long strips, pulling on them to stretch them out and then braided them. She ended up hot glueing the ends to make sure it stayed secure.

The girls were way more creative than me, but I didn't get pictures of them all.

I forgot to get a picture of a final product and one of the girl's instead of my toddler's.

You use canvas and draw a design with sharpies.

Then take rubbing alcohol and a paintbrush and lightly brush.

It smears the sharpie and looks pretty cool.

My toddler liked the painting with the alcohol a little much, so hers didn't come out very bright. You can see the corner of another girl's in the bottom right of the picture.

We made tin foil dinners one night. We were hungry and I didn't get a finished picture of this either.

What we used:

hamburger patties

carrots

celery

sliced potatoes

a dab of beef gravy

salt & pepper

It was yummy!

We had salad and s'mores to go with it.

I am going to be out on maternity leave for the 1st quarter. I was able to make an example of what I want my kiddos to work on during their social studies rotation with me. 

I'm using a combo of two TPT products. 

Native American Lapbook by Fifth in the Middle

Native American Unit by Rockin' Resources

We won't study all the cultures the lapbook lists. There is an editable form, but it won't hurt for the students to know that they are there.  I starred the ones we will study on the front.

My students will use the information from the Native American Unit to fill out the info tabs in lapbook pockets.  The table is the answer key of what information each pocket should contain.

Thanks for stopping by!

Monday Made It 2015 is here!

#1

I realized that I am seriously behind on my digital scrapbooking. So I started working on our 2014 book again. Hopefully I can be *almost* caught up before baby girl #2 makes her appearance.

If you're interested in digital scrapbooks...check out my Heritage Makers site {here}.

I love their products and the quality of the books! 

#2

After feeling guilty for not having dinner ready since school got out, I finally made dinner. Too bad my hubby ended up working super late that night. At least it was easy and delicious!

Here are the recipes:

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Parmesan Knots

#3 & #4

My daughter loves flowers! We decided to plant some of our own. She wanted orange flowers so marigolds it was (not my personal favorite but oh well).

We also got rid of a huge rhubarb plant which left a big hole. My hubby lovingly sifted all the big rocks (and believe me, that is a huge job!) so that I could plant some flowers. 

I tried transplanting some columbine and bought some delphinium and a peony. Hopefully they will all take and fill in my little space. K decided to move some of her marigolds into the bed as well.

Now I just need to get my lawn going, which is a difficult task here in AK unless you pay a lot of money to bring in a lot of top soil and lots of labor.

No school things this week but I'm sure I'll have some soon. :)
