Mr. Printable. Making me more able.

Today I came across a great little website with printables. It's Mr. Printable. I love the design of the materials, and there is much I can use in our little Spirit Play classroom. I especially like the emotions cards and face. I see this could be a great way to get kids to talk about feelings and explore them. I made one for our resources shelves but would like to work it into a lesson later.

I also love the gigantic moon doodleboard. I think I need to put one up in the teen classroom. Art plus utility. Love. It.

Caring for our Shared Environment

One way I remind our Spirit Play participants that they are part of a larger web is by caring for our workspace. We act on the seventh promise when we clean up after ourselves.

I came across this child-safe cleaning solution that actually works great. The added oil really helps hide the vinegar smell. Peppermint, lemon, almond or lavender work well. I personally like the peppermint! I just use the peppermint oil for cooking/baking.

Vinegar Cleaning Solution

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup vinegar
• few drop of oil for fragrance

Pour into a spray bottle. I often recycle hairspray or smaller bottles for the small hands. Alternatively, you can often put the head of a spray bottle from windex/409/etc onto a smaller bottle, like a water bottle. Make sure it's stable for little hands to hold, though!
