Memory Verse Monday and a Personal Note

Happy Monday and Happy Earth Day!!

I know that when Earth Day rolls around each year, many of us are busy with thoughts of plants, growing things and taking care of the planet.

And I'm right there with you. We are right in the middle of a Spring, growing, planting unit ourselves.

But for the last 5 years whenever Earth Day rolls around, my thoughts turn to my Daddy.

My Daddy passed away on Earth Day 2008.

So if you would, allow me a little detour today.....

To my Daddy, "I love you & miss you and look forward to seeing you again!"

To my God, "THANK YOU for choosing this man to be my Daddy. 

Thank you for allowing us the time that we had together. 

And thank you for the promise that I will see him again."

To anyone who might be reading this, 

"While you're taking care of the planet today, 

don't forget to love those who are around you on the planet. 

Make every moment count."

Earth Day always comes to me with a reminder,

that this world is not our home. And so I would pass that on to you as well.

Make sure that you know what comes next & if you don't know, 

please spend some time looking for answers.

And now, here is your memory verse packet for the week.

It features Psalm 104:14 

and it contains a coloring sheet, find and color, draw and label, and word cards.

Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for something special.

Sail Away....and an Earth Day FREEBIE

Well, I'm a day late linking up with Cynthia at The 2nd Grade Pad

but still wanted to share this with you.

Do your kids love puzzles as much as I mine do?

This puzzle is one of the many activities setting sail in my latest unit "Noah's Ark."
I love it, because you can just print, laminate and throw it out in a center or for free time use.

Easy, right?! Well here is your FREEBIE.
I started making these as puzzles but when I got finished with the pictures I decided that maybe my kids would just like to have a coloring sheet instead of a puzzle.
(Maybe I'm indecisive today!)
So I decided to leave them alone. You can print them out for coloring sheets or chop them into pieces and make puzzles. (Or you could be indecisive like me and do both.)

Click on either picture to grab your FREE copy.
In case you are interested in the Noah puzzle or other activities,
here is a preview of the entire packet.

Don't forget to pick up your other FREEBIES today.
