Recently I blogged about <a href="http://forsuchatimeasthis.blogspot.com/2016/06/sowhat-exactly-do-you-have.html" target="_blank">what it's like</a> to have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the secondary conditions (dysautonomia and Gastroparesis) it's led to. It's not always easy.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Sometimes it's downright awful. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I'm an honest person by nature. And though I don't often parade around with these raw emotions displayed across my face, I fully admit there are days I hide, days I stay in bed, days I cry in the shower, too weak even to stand, too discouraged even to reach out. There are days I wonder why I keep going, days I can't face the fact that this is what the rest. of. my. life will be like. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
But such days are the minority. They're rare. Most of the time, you'll see me smiling, and that's no lie. It's not an act. I'm not pretending or forcing the pain aside. Most of the time, I really am joyful. My life is full, despite these health issues. I am a wife. </div>

</div>
<div>
Daughter, sister, volunteer--my roles are many. People ask me often, "How do you do it?"</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
To answer, I have to tell a story. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Once there were three young men. They were faithful men living in exile in a foreign land. The king of this land enacted a law that everyone had to bow down and worship a statue of the king. These three young men remained faithful to their God and refused to worship the king of that land. The king liked these guys, and that didn't sit well with some powerful people in the kingdom. So the powerful people watched the young men and caught them in the act of disobedience to the king and turned them in. The king was bound to his word, so he had them brought in to face punishment. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
What was the punishment?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Oh, just a furnace heated so hot it instantly vaporized the guard who opened it. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Yeah. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
These men stared down the furnace and said words that ring through my head over and over again each day. "Our God can save us. But even if he doesn't, he's still God, and we'll still serve him."</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
God can save us. But even if he doesn't...</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The men were bound up and thrown in. The king and his guards watched through the doors and saw four men walking around inside, among the flames. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Now you're looking up a few lines, checking something. Yep, three men. So who's the fourth? Hang on. I'll tell you in a minute. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
So the king had the doors opened, and the three men walked out, no longer bound, not a hair on their heads singed, not even the smell of smoke on their clothes. The king was aghast and said, "No other god can save in this way!"</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I'm staring down my own furnace of sorts. It's hot. It intimidates those around me. Those guys were on to something. God COULD save me. He could. It's within his power to heal me. But even if he doesn't. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
But even if he doesn't. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The king said something else when those men came out of the fire. He said, "These men were willing to lay down their lives for their God. Praise be to God! No other god can save in this way!"</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Remember that fourth guy? Most scholars believe it was Jesus. Jesus didn't start at the manger. He was with God from the very beginning. He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And he's with me. And so are so very many others. I'm not in the flames alone. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul (a guy who knew a thing or two about hard times) wrote, "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I'm willing to lay down my life for my God. My life is his. God can save me. But even if he doesn't, may the world look at the way I stare down the fiery furnace and say, "Praise be to God!"</span></div>

</div><div><br></div>
<div>
People often stop me to express their concern and love for me. They know I'm sick, and they care. But understanding what I'm sick WITH can be a bit of a challenge. When you live with rare or underdiagnosed conditions, it can be hard for people to understand what you're going through. If someone is battling cancer, we all understand what that means. Conditions like Lupus, ALS, or MS are common enough that people at least have an idea what they mean. But a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, dysautonomia, or gastroparesis can be harder for people, no matter how well-meaning, to understand. So what do these conditions mean? </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a genetic connective tissue disorder. I was born with it but wasn't diagnosed until I was 25 years old and a surgery revealed just how damaged my ligaments were. EDS is a collagen deficiency, so my ligaments, skin, blood vessels, and some organs are too loose and fragile. I partially-dislocate and hyperextended joints easily. I wear ankle-foot orthotics and occasionally need to wear braces to stabilize other joints too. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
EDS often leads to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that regulates functions you don't actively think about, like heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and digestion. This dysfunction is known as dysautonomia, a term that encompasses many conditions. I was diagnosed with dysautonomia after fainting in the automotive section of a Wal-Mart. I struggle to regulate my heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, temperature, circulation, and digestion. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Likely a consequence of that autonomic dysfunction, I've also developed gastroparesis, a paralysis of the stomach. My stomach does not digest or empty as it should, causing pain and digestive distress and severely limiting what I can eat. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
This may be an oversimplification of the way these diagnoses are related, but it does help explain what's going on. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIn6cYEnx37vBpCqWuBIgVjl2BNlz_YtwNfZzg-MiEyPgoHSAZr3QSksAnwgxEu7eFiXH0OHEnxVlRugkAtkc_i-Au566bFjY-MyzZ69b0nQ9VqSGRwCVShI4ZXKGUPOEV8k4Z0Tbqfu4/s640/blogger-image-1204873022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIn6cYEnx37vBpCqWuBIgVjl2BNlz_YtwNfZzg-MiEyPgoHSAZr3QSksAnwgxEu7eFiXH0OHEnxVlRugkAtkc_i-Au566bFjY-MyzZ69b0nQ9VqSGRwCVShI4ZXKGUPOEV8k4Z0Tbqfu4/s640/blogger-image-1204873022.jpg"></a></div>
<br></div>
<div>
<div>
So what does all this feel like? Think of having the flu. Your body aches. Your joints and muscles are sore, and it hurts to move. It's like you've hyperextended every joint, pulled every muscle. That’s what the EDS feels like. You feel weak and tired. You nearly pass out every time you stand up, and your head hurts. Your heart races to keep up. You have to muster up the will to take on simple chores, or they may be insurmountable. You find that you have to take a break in the middle of even small tasks. That's what dysautonomia feels like. Your stomach aches, and you're afraid to eat because it could make you ill. Anything you eat or drink refluxes into the back of your throat. You feel nauseated like morning sickness, your lower gut feels unsteady, and you have no appetite. The pain feels like giving birth through your intestines while someone squeezes your stomach. That's what gastroparesis is like. Some days are better, even nearly normal. Some days are bad--all this and worse. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
And what does this mean for me? I am sick. Barring dramatic medical advancements or a miracle, I will always have these conditions. I won't get better. I'll have good days, and I'll have bad days. But there's no remission. No cure. Very little even in the way of treatment. I could lie in bed. I'm sick, after all. But I don't want my life to BE these conditions. Yes, they are a part of my life, and they are like a lens that tints everything I do. But I love my life. It is full of happy, worthwhile things. I am wife to a great man who has dedicated his life to loving God and loving people. I am mom to two wonderful boys who face each day as if it's a grand adventure (and give the best snuggles ever). I am member of a church that has shown me such tremendous love and support. And I am a teacher to students who need my creativity and quirk to help them find their route to success. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<div>
I do not plan to stop working. If you've read my magazine article or the article about me in the newspaper, you might have guessed my career is a source of great joy to me. Being a teacher is to me like being a musician is to Billy Joel or happy trees were to Bob Ross. It's not just my job--it's part of who I am. I love it. But I don't want my job to leave me too depleted to be the kind of wife, mother, or friend I want to be. So I'm having to rethink what my daily life looks like in the small things. Chores, errands, volunteering, making the day-to-day work. I plan to write separate entries about how I do that, at home and in my teaching. For now, though, suffice it to say that I can't do it all. I have to say no to some valuable things, and I have to find new ways to do some essential things. I may need to accept help. That's hard, but I can't keep living as if I'm “normal.”</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
People sometimes comment about the grace, strength, and faith they see in me as I go through all of this. That's humbling to hear, but it's a blessing. I'll share more about that in a future post too. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
For now, hopefully this entry gives you a better idea what life in my shoes (or rather, braces) is like. The simple fact that you're trying to understand shows me great love and helps me feel less alone. For more information about these conditions, I recommend:</div>

<div>
I understand people may want to help. I'll share some ideas soon. In the meantime, if you want to show support, consider a direct donation to any of the above organizations, or purchase a Bravelet. When you purchase Bravelet jewelry, $10 goes to one of these organizations, and you get awareness jewelry that is actually fashionable. When people ask about your Bravelet, you can tell them about me and spread awareness while your money funds support and research. </div>

<br />
Sometimes, in education, we lose the art of exploration. Especially in the middle grades. The standards are so challenging, the class times so short, the demands so many that we deliver canned notes and a textbook assignment and move on.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But it could be so much more. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When kids learn by exploring and investigating, they come to understand the concepts naturally on their own. They're invested. They care. And they like it. Sure, you're thinking, "Really, Katie? My 8th graders can LIKE cross-sections of 3-D figures?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well...YES!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wager, if you try it, you'll eagerly ditch the lecture and never look back. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some ways we've explored and investigated the properties of 3-D figures in my class. These activities cover properties of figures, nets, surface area, cross sections or slices, and views of models or figures. You can easily scale each up or down for your level. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Properties of Figures, Nets, and Surface Area with Magna-Tiles</b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Magna-Tiles (http://www.magnatiles.com) may be my favorite. I bought them for my youngest son one Christmas but routinely borrow them for class. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Divide students into small groups and give each 6 squares and 4 triangles.</div>
<div>
Give them a couple minutes to just build with the blocks. Inevitably someone makes a shape and unfolds it into its net without me prompting. And the magnetic properties are just fun :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then have each group build a cube. Ask questions about the properties. "What shape is the base?" "What do we call each square of the cube?" "How many faces are there?" Etc. You've just taught or reviewed the vocabulary and properties of 3-D figures. And, GASP, without a textbook! Score!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVUTGSrefDtGuCczrNbt_BqTcGmxhxnGeFER_PvPgF4hwzZwnlnooJdbK07UsLIgDg7v8wP6kbc36jcfc8bf2A7SeMmjFXfaEDBiZ_T3EHh1Enchvsby4ruJ2J7JFZA7A2oIr9oky8luA/s640/blogger-image--1354381424.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVUTGSrefDtGuCczrNbt_BqTcGmxhxnGeFER_PvPgF4hwzZwnlnooJdbK07UsLIgDg7v8wP6kbc36jcfc8bf2A7SeMmjFXfaEDBiZ_T3EHh1Enchvsby4ruJ2J7JFZA7A2oIr9oky8luA/s640/blogger-image--1354381424.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then have them unfold the cube into its net. I like to have them draw it on a small whiteboard and hold it up so we can compare. Were they the same? Similar? Can we make another net that still works? How many can we come up with? Can we tell how the faces must be arranged for it to work? Now you've upped the rigor by having them draw conclusions and allowed students with strong understanding to keep going. </div>
<div>

You've now covered several standards without cracking a book. And they were actively invested and interested every step of the way. A great closer? Have each group make a set of notes for a figure based on their exploration and what they found important and then compile a class set. Discuss. Anything to add? You can assign homework to practice the skills independently as you see fit, but I bet they remember more of this than anything we lectured at them or they copied off the board. </div>
<div>

<b>Cross-Sections and Slices with Play-Doh</b></div>
<div>
Ok, so the first time I did this, I learned something I didn't expect. Middle schoolers LOVE Play-Doh. Like, seriously. Even the uber-cool athlete boys. Even the boys who you know are doing drugs after school. No joke, they beg to take it home. It's a big deal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, that said, I like to get something out of the way right up front. "Just so we all understand, this is Play-Doh. We're making shapes. Not human appendages. Especially not those typically covered by underpants. Understood?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Trust me. It's a needed conversation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Give each group one canister and let them play a minute. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then give a task. Have them make a sphere. They can make one for the group or divvy the doh up among each member. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then I give each group a plastic knife. I have a similar conversation about the knife. "This is a knife for cutting Play-Doh. Not people. Not materials. This is not Orange is the New Black. Understood?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have them slice their sphere in half. What shape is revealed?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then issue a challenge. Can they slice the sphere with any single straight slice and get anything but a circle?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Repeat with other figures and slices. Most figures can be made by starting with a ball or snake and then smushing edges against the desk. Talk about slices parallel to the base vs perpendicular. What about diagonal cuts? Ask them how they would need to slice a figure to get a certain shape and let them try until they get it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Again, you can have them generate notes or do an assignment as you see fit. But they just learned a LOT of content willingly and maybe even happily. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And little cups of Play-Doh would make great end-of-year gifts later :)</div>

<b>Views with Katie Kubes (or Other Connecting Blocks)</b></div>
<div>
I bought a set of Katie Kubes (http://www.eaieducation.com/Product/520395/Advanced_3D_Cube_Models_Grades_6-8.aspx) from EAI one year and really like them. I use them just for this skill, but even then, they've been worth it since so many kids just can't visualize these kinds of problems on their own. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You could probably improvise this with other linking blocks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I start by showing everyone an example. Many of them have no idea what it means to draw the "top view" of something. And the blueprint can be a bit challenging. Then I give each group an easy model and a blank or digital grid to draw the views on. Then I just let them keep going, advancing through the models as their skill allows. If they've REALLY got it, I give them a reverse model--they get the drawn views and build the block model from them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Getting to see, turn, and manipulate the models really helps them visualize and understand what these kinds of problems are asking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, there are some ways we explore and investigate 3-D figures using hands-on materials. Every time, I hear things like, "Class is over already?" "That was fun!" "When can we do Play-Doh again?" This approach is definitely worth the risk. I have virtually no off-task behaviors when I do this because everyone, even my reluctant learners, are engaged and curious. They don't even know they're learning so much! If it's too out of your comfort zone, start with a one-shape, one-concept mini-activity (boy, that was a lot of hyphens...) and see how it goes. And share your ideas! How do you get students hands-on with upper-grades math concepts?</div>

<br>
So for the last few years, I've tried to find a way to make egg dying more active. We've done shaving cream eggs. And last year we <a href="http://forsuchatimeasthis.blogspot.com/2014/04/an-easter-egg-speriment.html?m=1" target="_blank">exploded</a> our eggs. Ok, not exactly, but the kids loved it. This year we tried an activity we're calling tie dyed eggs.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnUg45FRtQSlAiot6iBEjj8Gv9_cBjAR_Sd4CPXYNtAGGKkEOa0ZB0JDsX-Hs53LUBqldP4hWDofFk5FvQy_BlIYc7zcU-G1IwCvGF0JUM81Y1OMoT4jSfkcr4rNAs1m_vHaggoFaCAU/s640/blogger-image-1915389595.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnUg45FRtQSlAiot6iBEjj8Gv9_cBjAR_Sd4CPXYNtAGGKkEOa0ZB0JDsX-Hs53LUBqldP4hWDofFk5FvQy_BlIYc7zcU-G1IwCvGF0JUM81Y1OMoT4jSfkcr4rNAs1m_vHaggoFaCAU/s640/blogger-image-1915389595.jpg"></a></div><br>

When they decided their egg was done, I rolled it to the top corner of the bag and tipped it directly into the egg carton to dry. No mess!<br>
<br>
Let me say that again in case you missed it. No. Mess.<br>
<br>
Then we repeated the process with a fresh bag and towel. We used each bag twice just for convenience.<br>
<br>
This approach kept the kids busy and the mess in check more than with traditional egg dying. No splashing, and more than 56.3 seconds of entertainment.<br>

I used duct tape for the lines, but any tape should work. I free-handed the path and designed it to have many possible successful routes to keep it as engaging as possible. Oren LOVED driving his cars along the "roads," and we set up his super hero bases at various points. Tovi liked to track down the bad guys and take them to Gotham City Jail. The kiddos can also use dry-erase makers to draw paths or even walk the paths themselves. </div><div><br></div><div>Ball (...or Angry Bird...) Wall</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLf9bISC8tfzNXhfrLsB_WlEOh4eBP377VRtuDkQQlUuxHpzsmQhJqg9ecMiGvQxYCEZ8t6xOjXJ4k5FK_zSw5IADl8pbvQSHry2mnhCqiQnm2Hqz2zqBJiNupFv0yLkCOPuxq5hwqNz8/s640/blogger-image-720114427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLf9bISC8tfzNXhfrLsB_WlEOh4eBP377VRtuDkQQlUuxHpzsmQhJqg9ecMiGvQxYCEZ8t6xOjXJ4k5FK_zSw5IADl8pbvQSHry2mnhCqiQnm2Hqz2zqBJiNupFv0yLkCOPuxq5hwqNz8/s640/blogger-image-720114427.jpg"></a></div>We LOVE the ball walls at the children's museum, and I plan to eventually construct one for the playroom. In the mean time, this idea is a cheap, easy alternative. I took toilet paper, paper towel, and wrapping paper tubes and wrapped them in tape so loops of tape would stick to them (tape doesn't adhere well directly to the cardboard, so a tape layer helps). I used duct tape, but painter's tape would be safer for your walls if you're concerned. We arranged the tubes in various shapes and orders, then dropped small balls, cars, and Oren's beloved Angry Birds through them. We had fun re-arranging the tubes, seeing how far apart we could put them without losing the ball/car/bird, etc. </div><div><br></div><div>Alphabet Parking Lot</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3rc2K3wagpEwqR7aGyvuu7yqGEoTgmiPqLfCtJSZL4dH2VowsZHKqYameYikByd-ssfODUJAURHy_m2cga-Td1ZGQJU724Bluvnkb0mLrROrDXgZOVhgp4ps-fOKI8wlfBFNR8zdD_uI/s640/blogger-image--811530604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3rc2K3wagpEwqR7aGyvuu7yqGEoTgmiPqLfCtJSZL4dH2VowsZHKqYameYikByd-ssfODUJAURHy_m2cga-Td1ZGQJU724Bluvnkb0mLrROrDXgZOVhgp4ps-fOKI8wlfBFNR8zdD_uI/s640/blogger-image--811530604.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>I've seen variations of this idea online using taped parking spots on a floor. But I had these cheap Dollar Tree table cloths and used those instead. I write the alphabet on duct tape (can you tell I love this stuff?!) and put one letter on each car. The goal is to park the car in the spot with the matching letter. I used upper and lower case. This summer I plan to put words on the cars to have the kids match them with the initial letter on the parking lot. There are MANY possible variations!</div><div><br></div><div>Counting With Bubble Wrap</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzn1zhmE428BcrR4y3v4UMxkMf26uiRatL_3AIlQ2GRXN21uwC6AviB30VRnYVJPpwn2XyazOm9oBplTGLvEqo0g7x_QAka4ymmROvXMUUohhJ3I4Wu4Lq9ZztBJ80UIwvsnaQMS8JoO4/s640/blogger-image--1305617380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzn1zhmE428BcrR4y3v4UMxkMf26uiRatL_3AIlQ2GRXN21uwC6AviB30VRnYVJPpwn2XyazOm9oBplTGLvEqo0g7x_QAka4ymmROvXMUUohhJ3I4Wu4Lq9ZztBJ80UIwvsnaQMS8JoO4/s640/blogger-image--1305617380.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>I actually used this with my kindergarten Title 1 group first. I wrote one number per bubble in mixed-up order and had the kids pop them in counting order. This builds several skills including number recognition, counting order, and pincer grasp fine motor skills. You could easily do this with the alphabet. Or for older kids, you could say a word and have them pop the bubble that corresponds with the first sound of that word. These could easily be used in place of Bingo boards too!</div><div><br></div><div>What are your favorite activities using ordinary materials in creative ways?</div>Katie Powellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464146992139742904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044569148878623320.post-66573915165393409632013-09-22T10:57:00.001-07:002013-09-22T11:18:26.939-07:00Personal Memoir ProjectAs last school year was drawing to a close, I was wrapping up not only the school year, but also a chapter of my life. I was moving away, stepping out of my job as a middle school special education teacher at the school I'd worked at for 8 years. I had a special year. My students and I had journeyed together from the fear of failure to the triumph of success. A talented aide and friend walked that journey with us. It was wonderful.

After having Tovi, I experienced some health problems that would require surgery. Surgery would mean no more kids. We were grateful to have had Tovi, to have been fortunate enough to carry and deliver a healthy son. I tried to accept that as enough. But my wise doctor sat in front of me on that little rolly-stool, looked in my eyes, and said, "If you might want another child, even a little, I encourage you to try. I'll get you through the pregnancy. But if you want another child, now is the time." And we were blessed with our Oren!<br />

Oren has been snuggly, silly, HUNGRY, energetic, temperamental, creative, and wonderful right from the start. He loves his brother, shares everything, no matter how special to him, and makes us laugh with his silly turn-of-phrase and tendency toward nakey-ness. We adore him :)<br />

Amazing.<br />
<br />
He starts kindergarten tomorrow. He wants to wear his new Iron Man shirt. He has a super hero backpack. He's ready.<br />
<br />
And you know what? I am too. If we'd tried to do this a year ago, which we almost did, neither of us would have been ready. What a difference a year makes. Sure, I'll miss his silly face. His little brother will miss him too. But like Tovi said, "Mom, I'll just be gone some of the time. Then I come back."<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite moments from our Tov-ster over the last year. I apologize for the layout nightmare. Blogger does not like it when I copy and paste from Facebook.<br />

Sure I do. I honestly believe God will work things out. I just prefer he detail for me exactly how he plans to get me from Point A to Point B. Funny thing, though: he never does.<br />
<br />
I little over a year and a half ago, Nathan stepped out in faith and accepted the associate ministry position at Pleasant View Church of Christ, following God's call toward preaching ministry. You can read more about that <a href="http://forsuchatimeasthis.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=5" target="_blank">here</a>. That position has been a proving ground of sorts, an opportunity for Nathan to learn and grow as a minister and hopefully lead some others in growth as well. He has been blessed to have some fantastic mentors really pour into him, teach him, lead him, admonish him, and encourage him. He has had opportunities to preach and teach. He has developed a website and a prayer ministry and started leading the worship team. He has been privileged to work with some spectacular youth, some of the most talented, goofiest, most sincere kids on this planet. And he has been humbled to serve alongside the mommies and daddies who raised such kids. My children have been taught by some of the most creative ladies I've encountered. My boys cheer when it's time to go to church. They love it, and that's thanks to the love of these volunteers and staff. I have been challenged and encouraged by generations of ladies who have taken the time to share their lives with me and allowed me to share my life with them. We have been blessed.<br />
<br />
But we've also been surprised.<br />

When Nate left the Garrett church to work at Pleasant View, we really thought we were in it for the long-haul. The church had a plan that when the senior minister retired, Nathan would move into that role. But there was always a clause, an asterisk that said they could decide to keep him in the associate role if they felt that was best. Al will be retiring soon, and the leadership decided it would be best for Nathan to stay in the associate role. Their reasons are sensible and God-led. The church, in order to move forward the way she needs to, will need more of an administrative-style minister. Nathan is not that kind of minister. He is relational. He could stay in the associate role and continue working with youth, families, and worship. But there's that call on his heart, that call that started years ago. God called Nate to be a senior minister. Point A, Point B.<br />
<br />
There is a plan. God knew how all this would work out from the beginning, long before Nate accepted the position at Pleasant View, long before the leadership announced he would not be the senior minister, even long before Nate knew he WANTED to be a senior minister. While at Pleasant View, there have been some pieces that just haven't quite fit. Our house didn't sell. We thought it would. We wondered if God was wanting us to be patient, or if he was wanting us to step out in faith and move anyway. We waited. We wondered why, if we were following God, he seemed to be holding us back. Sometimes it felt a step...off. We believed God called Nate to Pleasant View for a reason, but we also believed he had been called to senior ministry. There was a plan. We just didn't know what that plan was.<br />
<br />
When the leadership at Pleasant View decided not to move Nate into the senior ministry role, he prayerfully started sending out his resume. One church that was looking for a senior minister at the time was a small church in a small town in west-central Indiana. Nate sent his resume on, not expecting much. These things take time.<br />
<br />
Practically right away, he received a call. Then an interview. Then another call.<br />
<br />
The job was his if he was willing to accept it.<br />
<br />
Pending a congregational vote in a week, Nathan will be the new senior minister at <a href="http://www.ladogacc.org/" target="_blank">Ladoga Christian Church</a> in Ladoga, IN, starting the first week of June.<br />
<br />
God had a plan. He did not tell me how he was getting me from Point A to Point B, or even what Point B would be. But he knew. Not once in all that time of uncertainty did we want for anything. We had a house with more than enough space. Cars to drive and gas to fuel them. A babysitter who loved our kids and did housework so I didn't have to. Friends who loved us and allow us to love them. Income to cover our expenses. Our needs have been met. God has provided manna and required only that we gather for today and trust him to provide for tomorrow. And he has.<br />
<br />
This morning, our Sunday school class was studying the story of Joshua. He saw the Promised Land and believed with real faith that they could take it, that God would lead them to conquer the giants so they could claim the land as God had promised. But the people were afraid of those giants. So they waited. For 4 decades.<br />
<br />
40 years.<br />
<br />
God provided for them as they waited. They had food. Their shoes didn't wear out. God was with them, day and night. But 4 decades.<br />
<br />
Joshua got to enter the Promised Land. God delivered him to Point B. The distance between was long, but God provided for Joshua and his people every step of the way. If Joshua could wait 40 years, there's no excuse for my impatience. God has no obligation to tell me how he'll get me from Point A to Point B. He will. That's enough. And I truly believe his version of Point B is far better than any I could imagine for myself.<br />
<br />
Nathan and I have run the numbers dozens of times, several different ways, and it looks like I'll get to be a stay at home mom after our move. LCC has a parsonage, and with that and Nate's salary package, it looks like we won't need a full-time income from me. I have never been a stay at home mom. I'm sure you can imagine how I feel about this opportunity. I love my job and believe I'm good at it. But I have hated that I can only give my family what's left over. My health is a real challenge, so often by the time I'm home from work, I'm far from my best self. My family has paid the price for my career, even though I've worked because I've HAD to. Even with our fairly modest lifestyle, we've never been able to make it on one income alone. We have always trusted that if God orchestrated our finances in such a way that I needed to work, that he had a purpose in that. I've seen my teaching career as my ministry. But by the same token, when God orchestrated our finances in such a way that I no longer needed to work, we immediately saw that God was giving me the blessing of time. Of energy. Of health. Of family. This is God's will.<br />
<br />
My friend Mitzi once explained seasons to me. I was a new mom and really struggling with the change in my role in Nate's ministry, that I wasn't serving as a youth sponsor or dorm mom anymore. Mitzi explained that I was in a new season, a season of motherhood, and that like all seasons, it wouldn't last forever. She said her season of motherhood had been a tough adjustment too, but now as a mother of grown children, her season had changed and she was serving busily again, and missing those days of young motherhood. She said this was my season and to embrace it, because the season would change soon enough. Wise words.<br />
<br />
Now we're entering a brand new season. Nathan's entering senior ministry for the first time. I'm going to be a stay at home mom for the first time and will be stepping out of my career, at least for now. We are leaving the community we've lived in for the bulk of our married lives. We learned to be adults here. Our children were born here. Our dearest friends are here. But God is with us, day and night. He's providing enough for today and will again tomorrow. We are somewhere between Point A and Point B right now, and that's OK. God has a plan. He had one all along. I'm blessed and humbled to be a part of that plan. And I'm so excited to see what's next.Katie Powellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464146992139742904noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044569148878623320.post-905495525642602752013-03-01T17:58:00.000-08:002013-03-01T17:58:41.162-08:00$23 ChallengeI have a friend from college who is like Jess Day from "New Girl," but in real life, and named Michelle. Her life is like an unfilmed sitcom. Or maybe there are cameras. I don't know. But her life is more exciting than yours. And mine.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Michelle contacted me via Facebook earlier last month and proposed a challenge. For some reason, she thinks of me as being a fun person too (perhaps Michelle is a tad delusional), and we both enjoy the challenge of getting interesting, fashionable buys without spending much money. We settled on an odd amount of money, and the $23 Challenge was born.<br />
<br />
Michelle established some rules:<br />
-We could spend only the assigned amount, no more.<br />
-The items we purchased had to be for ourselves.<br />
-The items had to be things we would really use.<br />
<br />
Some of our friends have pointed out that this isn't truly a challenge. We aren't exactly competing or anything. It wasn't a who-can-buy-the-most or a who-can-save-the-most-money thing. It was more about finding things we really love without spending much money. But isn't anything more fun if you call it a challenge?? :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, the rules meant I couldn't buy fun things for my kids. Seriously, an excuse to go shopping FOR MYSELF without spending enough money to make myself feel guilty? Yes! The toughest part was getting some kid-free time to do my shopping. Our children's minister planned a really neat event for the preschoolers involving cardboard boxes decorated like cars, take-out Happy Meals, and a movie, so that gave me a few hours to myself to browse local clearance racks.<br />

I checked out Maurice's first, since many of my friends get cute clothes there, but to be honest, most of what I saw was still too pricey for my stingy tastes, and as a middle school teacher/youth minister's wife, wearing something with a see-through lacy back isn't exactly appropriate. So I headed to my trusty stand-by, Kohl's.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, issues like the heart monitor reading below left me feeling less than stellar. <br />

I actually spent part of my shopping trip lying down on the bench in the dressing room. I felt crummy enough that I even went back to get the boys an hour early. I know, a night to myself and I went home early. But at least I found some cute things first :)<br />

<br />
<u><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Holes-Louis-Sachar/dp/044022859X" target="_blank">Holes</a></u>, by Louis Sachar, is one of my favorite young adult novels to read with my students. Although it's challenging for my classes (reading level 5.2), it's funny, engaging, and smart. This book doesn't talk down to my students. It's proud of its complexity, but not too proud to be silly in all the right ways. I mean, a book about pre-teen boys sweating away in a desert work camp is BOUND to include lots of stink-humor. And my kids LOVE it.<br />
<br />
We've been reading aloud in small groups of 5-6 students. The kids take turns reading a page aloud, under the supervision and guidance of my amazing cohort, Chris, while I run grammar and writing skills groups. We use rotations, so small groups of students are all doing different things around the room at any given time, and I am fortunate to have Chris with me this year to help supervise these groups. I mean, after all, we KNOW 6th graders will always do what they're supposed to do without direct supervision, right?? Ha!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the students have worked very hard through this book and have participated fully. They've asked thoughtful questions along the way to improve their understanding, they've made connections with their own experiences, and they've made smart predictions about what may happen next. Because they've knocked my socks off, I felt it was only fitting to celebrate the conclusion of the book with some fun activities. Feel free to use any of them with your own classes and modify things as you see fit (thought it's always nice to give credit to your source...ahem...me!). If you're on MyBigCampus, look me up (Katie Powell); I have quizzes and other resources in a bundle I'd happily share with you.<br />

Trivia Challenge</h3>
<div>
I selected 30 or so questions from the quizzes we've done along the way, focusing on themes and plot elements that run throughout the story (such as why Kate Barlow became an outlaw, how Zero and Stanley are connected back in their ancestry, what The Warden is really looking for, the importance of Stanley and Zero's journey on the mountain, etc). I printed a clip art of a shovel in a hole and pasted one question onto the back of each. I also printed a picture of treasure and one of a lizard (colored to have yellow spots). Then I asked our secretary to laminate them all.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the game, I laid the "holes" out on the floor. Since my students are already divided into three groups, they played in their rotation groups, but you can group your students into any number of teams. The objective is to "dig" the most "holes" by answering questions correctly. The first player from the first team tosses a bean bag and has to answer the question the bean bag lands on. I did not allow team-mates to help so that each individual student was accountable for full participation. If the player cannot answer the question correctly, the card is returned to the floor. Similar to memory games, other players should make note of the card's location, especially if they know the answer, so they can get an easy "hole" on their turn. If the card has treasure on the back, everyone on the team gets a piece of candy (but I did not count this card as a "hole"). If the bean bag lands on a yellow-spotted lizard, the team must surrender a "hole." The team with the most "holes" when all cards are collected is the winner. Total game play for 3 teams of 5-6 students, 30+ cards, took us approximately 40-45 minutes.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My students were VERY engaged. They cheered and jumped around for the treasure and groaned and yelled about the lizards. And they KNEW the information!! I was so impressed by how well they did!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Typically I make games that can be applied to multiple areas of content, so I was hesitant to spend this much time setting up a game that would just be used once a year. But this book is such a hit year after year that I felt it was worth it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Extension Idea:</div>
<div>
This game could be used as an assessment. You could call students back one at a time to toss the bean bag to answer a set number of questions, however many you want for your assessment. You could tally how many they get right or wrong. You could even number the cards to keep question statistics, such as which questions were most often missed, etc. You could take a quiz or assessment score right from the game! I'd probably remove the lizard cards but keep the treasure in for random candy/sticker incentives along the way :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Celebration Stations</h3>
<div>
To celebrate the end of the book, I set up centers around the room for the following activities:</div>
<div>
1) Holes-inspired treats: donut holes, samples of various kinds of onions, dirt pudding, and sploosh (for us, I used peach-flavored applesauce, but peach preserves, sliced peaches, etc would also work).</div>

2) What's Your Nickname prompt: I printed this page. The students wrote their Holes nickname on the name tag picture and then wrote a sentence explanation on the page. I had name tag stickers for them to wear too :) We then hung the prompts in the hallway.</div>

3) Yellow-Spotted Lizard pencil pals: The students traced my example lizard twice onto craft foam, cut them out, and then I helped hot-glue them together along the sides, leaving the space down the middle open. I allowed the students to use any color spots they wanted. Once dry, you can slide a pencil down inside. This "pencil pal" keeps pencils from rolling off the desk :)</div>

4) Moon Sand: On a teacher message board, a teacher said they go outside to dig holes every year to celebrate the end of the book. She said it's the student's favorite activity every year. I found this surprising and funny, so I told my class about it. And guess what--they all wanted to go dig holes. I don't know if you're familiar with February in Indiana, but our ground's pretty frozen. That's a no-go. But I found a recipe on Pinterest (yay!) for moon sand that called for 8 cups flour and 1 cup baby oil. I had about 3/4 cup baby oil, so I supplemented with cooking oil, and it seemed to work just fine :) I dumped the whole concoction in a large bucket, tossed in some sand box toys, and laid down a plastic table cloth to protect the floor. I tried it out at home with my own kiddos first, and I have a couple observations: my 3 year old was less messy than my 6th graders, and my 6th graders enjoyed the moon sand as much as my 3 year old. What a hit!</div>

Writing Prompt</h3>
<div>
We have ISTEP coming up in a week. But even if you don't have statewide testing (lucky!) or aren't in testing season, writing prompts are great assessments. This is the prompt I'm using this year:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I print several on a page and then cut them apart to affix to photocopied ISTEP prompt paper to keep the experience as authentic to our assessment as possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the rubric I'm using. The students do peer assessing first which helps deepen their own understanding of the writing process while also helping them catch their weaknesses. After revising, I grade. I use the rubric as a basic checklist (the element is present or isn't), but you could use a point scale too.</div>

<br />
For coordinate graphing, I made a giant floor graph using a sheet of plastic drop cloth and masking tape. I taped the underside of the plastic and numbered each axis. <br />

For several years now, I've used this graph as a way to get kids up and moving during our graphing unit. However, this year I noticed some of my students having trouble following the grid lines up to each axis to find the numbers for the ordered pairs (coordinates). Many of my students have visual/perceptual disabilities, so following a line can be difficult. To meet that need, we came up with the following activities:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Driving on the Floor Graph</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I printed basic clip art images that say "Crash!". I laminated them and then placed them around the graph. I brought in some Hot Wheels-style cars (Shh! Don't tell my kids!). The students placed 2 cars at the crash site and then "drove" out along the "roads" (grid lines) until they reached each axis. </div>

Have you ever seen 6th grade boys with toy cars? Ha! They had a blast! And we solved the problem of students not being able to follow the grid lines.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This idea then morphed or grew into the Floor Graph City Challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Floor Graph City Challenge</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This activity has 2 parts. I printed clip art of basic city locations like a hospital, school, park, church, house, and store. I laminated these, then affixed a loop of tape on the back of each. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the first part of the challenge, I placed the buildings around the graph. Students used their toy cars to "drive" out from each location to the axis lines. </div>

For the second part, I listed ordered pairs (coordinates) for each building, and the students had to place them correctly on the graph. They could use the toy cars to check their work.</div>

I LOVE teaching persuasive writing. Here are some of the activities I've used:<br />
<br />
I opened our unit on persuasion with a clip from the movie <u>The Lorax</u>, found on <a href="http://wingclips.com/">wingclips.com</a>. In <a href="http://www.wingclips.com/movie-clips/the-lorax/selling-air" target="_blank">this</a> clip, the characters are pitching their idea of bottled air to their boss. This clip is familiar to the students but is also a great example of persuasion, so it serves as an effective hook for the unit.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Teaching Target Audience Through Common Products</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For this activity, you'll need to gather several examples of one category of product marketed to specific audiences. For example, you could gather body sprays, shampoos, and soaps for women, men, and kids. Or you could use cereals: kids' cereal, cereal for extra fiber, cereal for those on a diet. Regardless of what kind of product you pick, make sure a clear, specific audience is being targeted. I used health and beauty products.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Label each product with a number. Use one product as an example and talk about how companies use colors, shapes, characters, fonts, word choices, etc to reach the very specific audience they are trying to reach. Women's products often use curvy lines, soft or feminine colors, and far more adjectives than you would think a shampoo would warrant. Men's products often use bold colors, solid shapes, and even use picture directions instead of words (seriously!). Kids' products are marketed not only at kids (typically using bright colors and familiar characters), but also at their parents (using terms that denote their product as safe, healthy, etc). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3y939lif9eP4lMeEU2583PIH4EWidGAQRMk3vm-tFVMNr8TDCFkRhfKkMk-hNZ4NdWPAryZSi7QOoHhvHJQ2wPTVrZqP8NpKV589CcgGt1-MTArE57xVVglLqUVSv17j2weNnYmrCJyg/s1600/IMG_3253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3y939lif9eP4lMeEU2583PIH4EWidGAQRMk3vm-tFVMNr8TDCFkRhfKkMk-hNZ4NdWPAryZSi7QOoHhvHJQ2wPTVrZqP8NpKV589CcgGt1-MTArE57xVVglLqUVSv17j2weNnYmrCJyg/s320/IMG_3253.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I arranged students into groups of 2-4 and gave each group a product. I also created an "assignment" with the same number as the product on our <a href="http://www.mybigcampus.com/" target="_blank">MyBigCampus</a> page (similar to edmodo or other virtual classroom platforms). You could have students hand-write their answers on paper or even just discuss aloud. Students sought to answer these questions by examining the products together:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) What is the target audience for this product?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) What elements of the physical packaging attract that audience?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) What word choices reach that audience?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the students realized the men's body spray I brought actually used picture directions, they burst into laughter. They also thought the overly-dramatic and descriptive language on the women's products was excessive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a great, easy way to teach target audience!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Using Emotion to Persuade</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For this lesson, I pulled some favorite commercials off Youtube. One was an example of using comedy, one was an example of getting the audience to feel a need to help, and one was an infomercial (masters of persuasion!). Here are the videos I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Old Spice <a href="http://youtu.be/z-m6Ua9Iqkg" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;">http://youtu.be/z-m6Ua9Iqkg</a><br />ASPCA <a href="http://youtu.be/IO9d2PpP7tQ" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;">http://youtu.be/IO9d2PpP7tQ</a><br />Pocket Hose <a href="http://youtu.be/87sRVk1f7ik" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;">http://youtu.be/87sRVk1f7ik</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After watching all three videos, we discussed how they were different yet equally effective and memorable and what lessons from each we could apply to our own writing. This tends to be a springboard for helping students understand that it's harder to keep someone's attention or make them feel an emotion in WRITING than it is in person or via video. This gets them to start expanding their writing beyond the basics.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Students are naturally good persuaders. They try to talk Mom and Dad into letting them do things all the time! These simple, engaging lessons are a way to tap into that natural ability and guide them to a more academic use for their powers of persuasion. Consider following these activities with a real-world persuasive assignment like having them persuade you how to spend your classroom funds, to persuade the principal or school board to make a change, to write letters to the editor of the local newspaper, or to write to a government official about an issue they care about.</div>

<br />
I've spent the better part of the last six weeks recovering from the flu (apparently something as mundane as the flu does a real number on someone with chronic illness...), so I'm going to publish a couple posts back-to-back today to update you all on some recent classroom activities I've really enjoyed.<br />
<br />
This first one originated out of an attempt to keep my students PHYSICALLY participating in their learning. Back at my <a href="http://www.johnsonu.edu/" target="_blank">Johnson University</a> days, I was taught that physical activity should be part of every lesson. Although I don't hit that goal 100% of the time these days, I do try to work multiple active learning opportunities into every unit.<br />
<br />
Shortly after Christmas break, I was teaching prepositions. I was looking for ways to teach prepositions actively without too much prep work since I was still something akin to a zombie thanks to my New Year's Day flu diagnosis. Here were my ideas:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Preposition Scavenger Hunt</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This idea was simple. I had one student volunteer stand in the hallway outside my room while another hid a designated object somewhere in the room. I reminded the rest of the class to not give clues with their eyes or body language. Then I called the volunteer back in. The rest of the class took turns giving verbal clues using prepositions until the volunteer located the item. Then we rotated roles.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Preposition Drawings</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is an idea I've used for a few years, and it actually led to the Preposition Lego Challenge idea. For this activity, students will need to be grouped in partners or small groups. Each student needs a piece of paper and a pencil. Students are seated facing away from each other. One student in each group is designated the original drawer. Then they draw a simple picture using basic shapes and lines--nothing too complicated. After completing the drawing, this student uses clear step-by-step directions, with a focus on prepositions, to instruct his or her group members how to recreate their drawing. When finished, everyone compares their drawings (usually with lots of giggles).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Preposition Lego Challenge</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This idea was a new extension of the Preposition Drawing activity. I have a tub of Legos in my room, and my students LOVE to build with them. Looking for a way to engage and interest my most reluctant learners, I decided to include Legos in our preposition lessons. Students were grouped similarly to the preposition drawing activity (groups of 3 or partners, seated back-to-back). I divided my Legos into plastic cups, one for each student, with identical Lego blocks in each. One student in each group or partnership was designated the builder. This student constructed anything they wanted with their Legos, without having to use all the blocks I gave them. When they were finished, they gave step-by-step directions, using prepositions, so their partner could recreate their design. When finished, students compared (and giggled). </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I allowed the partners to ask for clarification ("When you said to put the small red block in the middle, did you mean the middle of the short side or the long side?"), and I was delighted to witness the careful, specific communication skills they used. I have students with a wide range of abilities and disabilities, and even my most reluctant communicators were carefully selecting their words and thinking critically to seek more information. We know students tend to remember information better when learning is connected to movement, and we also know that building with blocks engages the same areas of the brain needed for mathematical thinking, so by adding these communication and language skills, this was a well-rounded learning activity that could easily be adapted for other skill sets. </div>

Students were engaged and had a blast. How many other teachers use Legos for grammar? Yet another reason why Mrs. Powell's class is one of the best ;)</div>

If you are a teacher, you know how much better your class runs when your students are ACTIVELY learning. These activities are just a few examples of how easily physical activity and creativity can be added to everyday learning. What are your favorite preposition activities?</div>

<h2>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Public Humiliation</span></h2>
Last night I had the pleasure of going out to dinner with about 20 friends. Although Nathan was out of town at <a href="http://www.theicom.org/sicom" target="_blank">SICOM</a>, I was super excited to get out, sans kids, with other adults and enjoy dinner without catching drinks, coloring place mats, wiping faces, and shushing whines. One of the, um, <i>older</i> Sunday School classes at <a href="http://www.pvccangola.com/" target="_blank">church</a> arranged to watch all our kids while they prepped for Sunday's Thanksgiving meal, giving several of us younger adults a chance to go out together. <br />
<br />
I really had a lot of fun! We were loud, silly, and happy. The food was fantastic. I ordered shrimp scampi with fettucini alfredo. <br />
<br />
But sometime between my last bite and the arrival of the checks, my head started to hurt. <br />
<br />
By now I recognize this hurt. It's not exactly a headache. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I'll find myself rubbing my eyebrows. Bad sign. Then my tummy started to protest. My hands started to shake. And I started to feel far away from myself. Auras danced across my vision. I made several back-and-forth trips to the ladies' room, hoping to settle my stomach, but I knew what this meant: I was going to faint. I down-played it as best I could, but it was clear to those around me that I was not well. These sensations tend to ebb and flow, so I'd start to think I was through it, but then another swell would overtake me. <br />
<br />
Feeling faint's bad enough, but if you've ever felt that way, you know your tummy doesn't feel great either. Although blacking out in public is bad, I'm less worried about passing out in public than I am about hurling in public! Eventually I laid down on a nearby booth, muttering apologies to the employees and fretting at how rude I appeared. Faces hovered above from time to time, seeing if I was OK, waiting for me to be lucid enough to head back to the church. I made it to a friend's vehicle, rolled down the window (it's similar to feeling car sick), and kept my eyes closed for the ride back. <br />
<br />
I had tunnel vision by then, but I found my way to a couch back in the youth wing. Tovi was worried, Oren was wound up, and both wanted to snuggle. People occupied my kids, brought me Gatorade, and then insisted I stay the night with them. Angola's about 30 minutes from our home in Garrett, so it was highly unlikely that I could get me and the boys home safely. I didn't think I could even manage to RIDE that far if someone else drove us. This family has 5 kids of their own, so adding my 2 wouldn't be too much of an imposition. I still felt like a burden, but I was grateful. I cranked the AC on myself during the short ride to their house. Tahlia, a saint of a friend, set out jammies for all of us and got my boys ready for bed. I texted Nate, then laid down with Oren beside me and Tovi in the next bed.<br />
<br />
Although snuggling Oren overnight results to fitful sleep at best, I was so relieved to not have to be alone while so unsteady. After being horizontal all night, I was well enough in the morning to enjoy some pancakes (thanks again, Tahlia!) and get the boys home. They played in the playroom down the hall while I laid in bed. I think God prompted especially cooperative behavior and positive attitudes. I'm still woozy if I'm upright too long, and experience says this sensation will probably stick around for a few more days. But I'm improving. Thank God for an easy work week coming up!<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Kitchen Science</span></h2>
Under healthier circumstances, when Nate's out of town I try to do something special with the boys. I had originally planned to make glow-in-the-dark slime with them, and around lunchtime I decided to give it a shot anyway. The process is pretty quick, so I figured I could fit it in before being upright long enough to bring back the woozies. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I found the recipe <a href="http://domesticcharm.blogspot.com/2011/10/glow-in-dark-slime.html" target="_blank">here</a>, linked on Pinterest. We made some minor adjustments simply due to my curiosity when I discovered so many colors of gel glue (WITH GLITTER!!) at Wal-Mart.<br />

<br />
Here's what we did.<br />

-We set out one bowl for each color we planned to make.<br />-In each bowl, we poured 1 cup of warm water, 4 oz glue (I estimated--each bottle was 6 oz, so I eyeballed 4), and 2-3 teaspoons of glow paint from the acrylic craft paint aisle. The original recipe calls for food coloring, but since we used colored glue, I used food coloring only when we wanted colors we didn't have paint for (like red--the paint was pink, so I added red food coloring).<br />-Then the recipe said to mix the paint, glue, and water. We found you have to mix WELL or the recipe won't work.<br />-Next, in a separate bowl, mix 1/3 cup warm water and 2 teaspoons of Borax.<br />-Add 2 tablespoons of the Borax solution to the bowls of glue mixture. The more of the Borax solution you add, the thicker the slime. Less creates oozier, stickier slime.<br />-Stir it all together and watch it go from snot to Gak :)</blockquote>

My oldest is a texture-phobe, so I used enough Borax to make pretty thick slime. Your kids may like it dripper, but it will be messier and will stick to hands and surfaces. The thicker variety feels slick but doesn't stick to hands or surfaces. We varied the amounts of Borax enough to make some slime oozy and some almost like foam. It stretches if you let it hang, rolls into a ball, bounces, and breaks into pieces if you pull it. Fun to explore!<br />

The paint is light-activated, so we had fun holding the containers under the lamp and then running to Tovi's room to open them under the bed.<br />

Cheap, easy, memorable fun! Enjoy!Katie Powellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464146992139742904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044569148878623320.post-28100273293624158352012-11-12T18:36:00.000-08:002012-11-12T18:36:51.069-08:00Some Classroom FreebiesThanks to my slightly off-the-wall, kooky, active teaching style, I've generated a sizable repertoire of unexpected learning activities. I've found that if I can hide the learning inside absurdity, humor, and fun, my students learn more and actually enjoy doing it. So here are some activities we've done lately.<br />
<br />
<b>Verbs with AFV!</b><br />
To build anticipation for and gather some quick formative assessment data on what my students already know about verbs, I used the hit show AFV. I streamed clips of America's Funniest Home Videos (but you could use any clean, funny videos) and had the students write a sentence describing what they saw happen in each clip and then identify the verb(s) in each sentence. The kids LOVED it, I got the data I needed, and we all had a good time. MUCH better than a worksheet!<br />
<br />
<b>Checkers for Worksheets or Review</b><br />

For this one, you'll need a checker board (and checkers). I labeled each square used in play with numbers (there are 32 squares played in checkers, but my worksheet had only 27 questions, so I labeled 5 spaces as free spaces, similar to those used in BINGO). Because I wanted to use these checker boards for other activities, I used Post-it strips to number the spaces, but you could easily write directly on the board. I wanted students to turn this worksheet in, so I made copies for each student. However, you could laminate your worksheet or use page protectors and rotate kids through the activity, reusing the same sheet with dry or wet erase markers to save paper. My kids have iPads, so they could even snap a picture of the page and email it to me (though most of my kids have iPad 1's, which don't have cameras...).<br />
OK, here are the rules of play:<br />

You get the same information a worksheet would provide, but you're also breaking up the monotony and allowing learning to happen in an unexpected way :)<br />
<br />
<b>4 Corners</b><br />
You've probably already heard of this one. Label 4 areas of your room, one for each term or concept you're covering (we did the 4 types of sentences). Then you give an example and have kids WALK to that area. You can also use this activity as an ice-breaker or time-killer ("Your favorite zoo animal: tigers, lions, chimpanzees, or alligators--go!"). Cheap, quick, and easy! And the kids LOVE it and tend to remember the concepts because their BODY was there. When we did the types of sentences, kids connected the type of sentence to where they had stood in the room and used that to help them on the final assessment.<br />
<br />
<b>Voting Paddles</b><br />
These are great for yes/no questions or any question that can be answered with one of two answer choices (think math--positive or negative or opinions--agree or disagree). I made mine very simply: laminated paper and craft sticks. That's it. Then I have the students use wet-erase marker to write our answer choices for the day so we can reuse the same paddles for other activities. I ask questions and have the students quick vote with their paddles. Students can also poll each other that way. Again, quick, fun, easy formative assessment!<br />
<br />
<b>Give me a ., !, ?</b><br />
I'm using this one currently for our reading log. I have the students give me a brief statement summary (.), one thing that surprised them (!), and one thing they're still wondering about (?). <br />
<br />
<b>Adverb Charades</b><br />
You'll need strips of paper or index cards, two different colors. One one color, have the kids write one verb that could be easily demonstrated. Then have them write one adverb on the other. Gather the cards in separate stacks. When a person is "it," they draw a combo and act it out. Students then guess the combo. I usually quickly write a word bank on the board as I gather the cards. <br />
<br />
And one last instructional freebie: If you haven't yet checked out the site <a href="http://classdojo.com/">classdojo.com</a>, you need to! It's a free, online classroom management site that lets you award or deduct points for any issue (you can input your own, positive or negative) and keep running totals and even email reports to parents! I LOVE this site, and it's motivated my students like never before WITHOUT creating more work for me! Woot!<br />
<br />
Finally, I try to do things on open house or conference night to make my room as welcoming as possible. Sometimes parents and/or kids are nervous, younger siblings are squirmy, and everyone is tired and frazzled. I appreciate that parents take the time to come in, so here's what I do to make the whole experience a little more enjoyable:<br />

And since our conferences are student-led, students often sit there uncomfortably unsure of what to say while parents impatiently flip through page after page of old homework assignments. This year I developed a conversation guide to focus the time.<br />

If you've ever met a 6th grader, you know they are fairly ridiculous creatures. For example, one of my students asked, "Why do I need to take English class? I already speak it goodly." In another class, a girl asked my colleague if people can get bad gas. She was speaking of the fuel, not flatulence, but her question didn't come out quite the way she intended. This stuff is gold, and I couldn't make it up. 12 year olds are just this delightful all on their own.<br />
<br />
Last week was a spirit week to raise money for Junior Achievement. But I'm a rational, mature, intelligent adult. Wearing pajamas to school is wonderful to the average 12 year old. But to this rational, mature, intelligent adult, it's terrifying. You've had those dreams when you woke up late on the first day of school, or missed your alarm, or shown up in your jammies, right? I was a dork in middle school. Popularity and coolness were not mine. I was insecure. So even now, when it comes to spirit days, I obsess a bit. I'm always afraid I have the wrong theme on the wrong day and that I'll show up to work in my jammies on hat day. Or I'll have the wrong week entirely. Or, Heaven forbid, I'll have to stop for gas on my way to work. In my jammies.<br />
<br />
Seriously. I know most of America goes to Wal-Mart in their jammies. Peopelofwalmart.com is testament to that (and many atrocities more). I don't get it, to be honest. It takes, what, 30 seconds to put on pants? So why not put on REAL pants before you head to the store? Or at least comfy pants of a solid color? But NO. Americans flock to Wal-Mart in their flannel print or character-adorned fleece jammie pants. So when I had to go to the store on pajama day, I stopped home to change my pants first! I couldn't do it!<br />
<br />
Anyway, as an adult in the world of middle school, it takes courage to humiliate myself. I have to be brave enough to humble myself and make an utter fool of myself. I don't LIKE to do it. But I like the results. I was the only teacher in the whole school to participate in pirate day. Did that bother me? Yep. It was like all those bad dreams, but in real life. But as I walked to my classroom door from my meeting that morning, I heard a student say, "Phew, I knew she'd be in costume!" I looked up into the face of a very relieved boy dressed in full pirate garb. For a moment, I flashed back to all the insecurities of being 12 and realized that if I had been afraid to participate, he must have been nothing short of terrified. Being 12 is hard enough. It's an awkward time. But when he got ready for school that morning, he knew Mrs. Powell would be even more ridiculous than he was, and that gave him the confidence to participate. <br />

<br />
<br />
So, yes, I'm absurd for a good cause.<br />
<br />
I've found that the bigger fool I make of myself, the better I do as a teacher. This is true both when I'm dressed as a pirate and when I'm in a suit. It's not about what I wear or don't wear. It's about the fact that I'm willing to put my own pride aside and make my time at that school about my students. If I sing songs about capitalization and punctuation, even though I can't carry a tune in a bucket with a really sturdy handle, they remember it. If I chant about adverbs, even though I was never a cheerleader, for good reason, they remember it. If I pantomime various over-the-top emotions for our show-not-tell lesson, they remember it. If I dress as a pirate, they remember it. I may be more than a little embarrassed on the inside, and the term DORK hasn't ever really left me, but it's worth it!<br />
<br />
Here's Duck Tape Day!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rovn-QTd4hU/UIX6tDswKqI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/DZQFe6ePxPU/s1600/12+-+5" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rovn-QTd4hU/UIX6tDswKqI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/DZQFe6ePxPU/s320/12+-+5" width="240" /></a></div>
I braided three kinds of Duck Tape for the bracelet and necklace.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J-v9uLrXexY/UIX6tI7USsI/AAAAAAAAAaY/1CLpzR2II1s/s1600/12+-+6" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J-v9uLrXexY/UIX6tI7USsI/AAAAAAAAAaY/1CLpzR2II1s/s320/12+-+6" width="320" /></a></div>
I made my hair pin by making triangular leaves in green and pink, then curled petals of the zebra print, then taped the whole thing to a giant bobby pin. <br />
<br />
My challenge to you this week is this:<br />
What do you need to lay aside for the sake of someone else?<br />
How would your impact be different if you weren't afraid to make a fool of yourself?<br />
What would you have the courage to do?<br />
<br />
This week, try it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, a bonus feature.<br />
I cook the way I teach. I have an insistence about doing things my own way, blazing my own path, and I'm insatiably curious and creative. And stubborn. So I rarely follow a recipe. When I cook, I often throw things together and see what happens.<br />
<br />
I have a very patient husband.<br />
<br />
He's also forgiving.<br />
<br />
And if what I serve is remotely food-like, he's happy.<br />
<br />
Sometimes my experiments work. Sometimes they don't. Here's one that worked!<br />
<br />
I call these "Baked Fiesta Cups."<br />
You can call them whatever you'd like.<br />
When you cook, you can change anything you'd like about this concoction. This is just what I did!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-njAUZOWTASM/UIX6tOf_PnI/AAAAAAAAAao/U41yVTHIzq8/s1600/12+-+2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-njAUZOWTASM/UIX6tOf_PnI/AAAAAAAAAao/U41yVTHIzq8/s320/12+-+2" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
In a pot or crock pot, combine:<br />
shredded chicken breast (I used the Tyson pre-cooked variety--one of my favorite time-savers!!); fully cooked if whipping this together on the stove; you can use uncooked in the crock pot<br />
1 can diced tomatoes with cilantro and lime (I used the Ro-Tel brand)<br />
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed<br />
rice (minute or quick variety, brown or white)<br />
1 packet either taco seasoning OR chicken chili seasoning (I used chicken chili--it's what I had!)<br />
I also needed to add about 1/3 cup water for the rice.<br />
You could even simplify this by using black bean salsa instead of the tomatoes and beans!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gLOCgkaoQlo/UIX6tNK0-PI/AAAAAAAAAaI/dTWw85sx6zE/s1600/12+-+4" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gLOCgkaoQlo/UIX6tNK0-PI/AAAAAAAAAaI/dTWw85sx6zE/s320/12+-+4" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
You'll also need tortillas, cream cheese, and cheese (shredded or otherwise) for later.<br />
<br />
Heat the first ingredients through, then cover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft. <br />
<br />
While it's cooking, pre-heat the oven to 350. Grab your muffin tin and tortillas. Slice the tortillas in half and roll into a cone-ish shape, then fold/stuff them into the muffin tin to make little tortilla cups. Mine kept trying to un-fold/stuff themselves, so I dabbed them with a little water to soften them and keep them in the cups.<br />
<br />
Is your rice soft? Then stir in half a package of cream cheese.<br />
<br />
When it's blended into the rest of the ingredients, spoon the mixture into the tortilla cups, top with cheese, and then bake until the cups start to brown.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J_NMU5TY4Go/UIX6tN7AdQI/AAAAAAAAAaA/yTrtVixaRIM/s1600/12+-+3" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J_NMU5TY4Go/UIX6tN7AdQI/AAAAAAAAAaA/yTrtVixaRIM/s320/12+-+3" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then eat! Well, you'll want to let them cool a smidge first. But then eat!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--YUR-pWqdQE/UIX6tPHEapI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/PBBb5Cy7BLk/s1600/12+-+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--YUR-pWqdQE/UIX6tPHEapI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/PBBb5Cy7BLk/s320/12+-+1" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
They were super yummy! Hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
And if you don't, psssh! Make your own recipe! Ha! :D<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now go be absurd.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Today our spunky, sassy, rambunctious youngest turns 3.<br />
<br />
After I had Tovi, we thought I wouldn't be able to have more kids. My body was in pretty bad shape after carrying him, but our doc encouraged us to try for another before having surgery to repair the damage (but end my child-bearing years). Doc held me together with elastic and velcro (literally!), but we made it. And on Sept. 10, 2009, Oren raced into the world after one of the easiest labors and deliveries in the history of womanhood.

We celebrated with Lightening McQueen, Mater, Mickey Mouse, Batman, and one very interactive Superman book.<br />
<br />
For a birthday treat, I made jello cookies (see <a href="http://www.iheartnaptime.net/jello-cookies/" target="_blank">this</a> recipe, courtesy of Jamielyn at I heart nap time) and shaped them into long snakes, one thick for two thin, and sliced to make Mickey Mouse shapes. They baked up in super vibrant colors and taste tangy and sweet. I let the boys ice and sprinkle theirs, and then we served them with birthday cake flavored ice cream. Yum!<br />

Oren fell asleep with a bed full of Cars characters and a new turtle night light stuffed animal that plays very LOUD music (what a lullaby, right?!) and projects stars onto his ceiling after wiggling the starts around this room to make Grayson, the kitten, pounce and chase. He smiled and giggled all evening.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y82bEj0UAtE/UE6mnxsvR2I/AAAAAAAAAPs/vivfadur5LI/s1600/12+-+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y82bEj0UAtE/UE6mnxsvR2I/AAAAAAAAAPs/vivfadur5LI/s320/12+-+1" width="240" /></a><br />
And Tovi was a fantastic big brother. It's hard to let someone else have all the fun, and we did have to negotiate some sharing, but Tovi wanted to make sure Oren had all the trappings of a happy birthday, from opening presents to ice cream. Tovi was very worried we'd leave something out!<br />

I teach 6th grade resource, reading, English, and math. Although I never, EVER imagined myself as a teacher, I LOVE it!!<br />
<br />
I have a bit of a reputation (hopefully in a good way!) among the students as being a bit...quirky. Maybe weird. But I teach with a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and creativity. We do a ton of active learning, and we do some impressive projects. My students work hard and produce quality work, and I'm always so proud of their growth. We have one-to-one technology (iPads), and I love what we get to do with them.<br />
<br />
That said, I also know there are areas I need to improve. Here are my professional goals for this school year:<br />

4 has been a fantastic year. We've lived in capes and masks, even to the grocery store. Tovi fell in love with Robin, the Boy Wonder, the side-kick extraordinaire. We've giggled until we've got the hiccups. We've been to Florida twice. We've made major changes in our lives. We've learned to write our name, phonics, right from left, and how to get to our favorite places around town. We've snuggled. And snuggled. And snuggled. I've loved every age, but I must say, this has been my favorite so far. I'm a little sad to leave it behind, but I know more adventure is yet to come.<br />

Yesterday I had lunch with a lovely young lady. She's insightful and kind, and her very nature is to want to help, heal, cure everyone around her. She's 15 years old and wiser than most of us. She said, "Everyone has holes they're trying to fill, and they're just filling them with the wrong stuff."</div>

We know the answer, right? Everyone has holes, and they're trying to fill them with the wrong stuff. The right stuff is Jesus.</div>
<div class="actorDescription actorName" data-ft="{"type":2,"tn":":"}" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px;">

But somehow in the name of our Lord, we have managed to marginalize and outright hurt those who need Him the most. I don't mean the whole Chick-fil-A thing. That's not what this is about. I mean we have this ability to pick out the sins that others struggle with but we do not so we can stand above those who are hurting and look down on them. It keeps us safe. Makes us feel holier. And it's destroying this world.</div>

<a href="http://michaelpatz.com/2012/08/02/the-morning-after-chick-fil-a-day/" target="_blank">Michael Patz</a> described a conversation with a homosexual. When the man found out Michael was a minister, he expected condemnation. And why not? What have we (Christians) collectively demonstrated? That blog post got me to imagining.</div>

Let's say you encounter a homosexual like Michael did. Let's say that person responds to your Christianity like the person Michael described. How could you respond? How about this:</div>

<br />
It's the hardest job I've ever had. It requires my best, and I fail...a lot. But I DELIGHT in my boys. I love, love, love being their mom. <br />
<br />
We lost a baby before having Tovi. That pain and grief left me sensitive to those who can't have kids or have lost theirs. And because of the damage and subsequent surgery resulting from the combination of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and my pregnancies, I cannot have more kids. That has left me grateful for the opportunity to have had mine. Each of my boys is a precious blessing.<br />
<br />
Even when one poops his pants, or another lets the cat out, or when my patience runs drier than our recent Mid-Western draught, I am grateful.<br />
<br />
I have these moments as a mom that fill my heart with gratitude for this opportunity to raise them. Many of you know these moments, and as you read mine, your eyes will tear up with the recollection of your own. Please share! We, as parents, love bragging on our kids more than virtually anything else. Here are a few of mine:<br />
<br />
This morning, we were preparing to take a picnic lunch to the park, and Tovi was running in and out of the kitchen while I was fixing our lunch. At one point he ran in, breathless, and gasped, "Mom, I don't know if I'm strong enough." He was pretending to be one hero or another. But in that moment, I saw both my little boy and also this vast, challenging, beautiful world he is facing. He wasn't just a kid madly in love with all things Batman; he was a future man, a man after God's own heart, a man destined for greatness. So I had a rare stroke of genius.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously. This was motherhood gold. </div>
<br />
The boys have been memorizing Ephesians 6:10: <i>Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.</i> So when my little boy said, "I don't know if I'm strong enough," I knelt down and said, "Tovi, what does Ephesians 6:10 say?" He quoted it to me, and I continued, "So who makes you strong?" He thought for a moment (undoubtedly processing that Lord=God...hard concept for a 4 year old to grasp), and then his eyes lit up. He proclaimed, "GOD!"<br />
<br />
"Yes, my dear, God makes you strong! So you see, you ARE strong enough because God makes you strong!" He was bursting with this news and sprinted from the room to share this with his little brother and fight off all the invisible foes his oversized imagination could muster.<br />
<br />
And then the icing: From his position on the stairs, I heard 2-year-old Oren say, in his adorable little voice, "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power!"<br />
<br />
Yep, moment of gratitude.<br />
<br />
Other moments aren't quite as allegorical or philosophical, but they leave me equally grateful for these precious, spirited boys. A short while after the above account (I was still wrist-deep in the peanut butter jar), Tovi was pretending that bad guys were blowing up the house. If you've seen the old 1960's Batman series, you know how prevalent cartoonish bombs are in those story lines. These are the bombs Tovi was imagining. I told him he'd need to fix our house, and he said, with all sincerity, "But Mom, I don't have any house pieces in these pockets!"<br />
<br />
Oh, I should have thought of that. Of course you don't have any house pieces in your pockets. We left those in yesterday's shorts.<br />
<br />
Tonight, I suspected that announcing, "It's bedtime!" would lead to some resistance, so instead I asked them what time they thought it was and then asked a series of silly, rhetorical questions.<br />
<br />
"Is it breakfast time?"<br />
"Noooo!"<br />
<br />
"Is it clip-our-toenails time?"<br />
"Noooo!"<br />
<br />
"Is it wear-a-silly-hat time?"<br />
"...Yes!"<br />
<br />
OK, so silly hats it is! I grabbed my giant black sun hat from the peg above the entry way closet and dropped it on Oren's head, amid giggles and hiccups.<br />
<br />
Once Oren chucked the hat to the floor, I asked, "Is it put-on-our-jammies-brush-our-teeth-and-snuggle-Mommy time?"<br />
"Yeah, it's snuggle-Mommy time!"<br />
Bedtime snuggles are the very, very best.<br />
<br />
Finally, one more. My boys are of an age where a kiss from Momma can still fix anything. Their giant stuffed lion, whom Tovi dubbed Morris after the cat-food mascot (no matter the fact that this lion is, in fact, a lioness), suffered a fatal wound today. Granted, the wound was imagined. But for all intents and purposes, Morris was dead. "Don't worry, I can fix it!" I said. Tovi looked doubtful, but handed Morris over to me. I asked where the wound was and planted a magic Mommy kiss on the spot, and Morris roared back to life. Problem solved. Oren functions under this same rule of logic. He screams easily, and it's not a pleasant sound. Every bump, scrape, stumble, or even hurt feeling leads to this scream, and he will sustain it until he receives his remedy: a kiss from Mommy. And if I happen to miss the spot, even by millimeters, I must try again. And again. But the fact that, with the mere brush of my lips, I can solve the biggest problems in his little life, fills me with love and pleasure. I delight in being his mom and in the magic of motherhood being enough to cure all ails.<br />
<br />
You see, the reason my eyes fill with tears so easily when it comes to my children is that I know how fleeting these days are. Someday my boys will face problems that can't be solved with a kiss or a snuggle. Some hurts will be too big for me to fix. Someday they'll be out of my grasp, and those sweet, tender bedtime snuggles will be long behind us. Someday they'll disappoint me. They'll mess up. They will suffer broken hearts, wounded pride, lessons in humility. And I won't be able to rescue them.<br />
<br />
They may even get sick. Suffer. Die. No, I can't save them from everything, no matter how much I love them. My dear cousin Mary's grief over her precious daughter Myah, gone too soon due to the evil that is childhood cancer, is proof of that. No matter how much we love our children, we can't save them.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I will cling to these moments, these brief days, and delight in the imagination, the snuggles, the kisses, the laughter, even the frustration, poopy pants, and doors left ajar. </div>

<br />
So today, I am grateful.Katie Powellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464146992139742904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044569148878623320.post-77382311461410715052012-07-24T20:44:00.001-07:002012-07-24T21:13:09.032-07:00An Opportunity for AdventureLast month, on our way home from vacation, we attended church at Southeast Christian Church. In the sermon, the preacher talked about a family in the congregation who had lost their home and possessions to a fire. He said their response to those circumstances surprised him. Although living out of a hotel room for months on end, the family insisted this was an opportunity for an unexpected adventure.<br />
<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
Most of us get grouchy at stop lights, long check-out lines, or slow internet speeds. Yet this family faced undeniably difficult circumstances with an attitude the Swiss Family Robinson would admire. <br />
<br />
This idea of facing life's challenges as opportunities for adventure really struck a chord with me. I'm a naturally optimistic person. If you cut me off in traffic, I'll assume you're in a hurry because you really have to pee. If you're short with me at the check-out counter, I'll assume you have a lot on your mind. I'm not easily frazzled, and it takes a lot to get me down. But I'd never intentionally faced potentially frustrating circumstances as adventures.<br />
<br />
I'm raising two imaginative boys, so "adventure" would suit our family well. Kids are naturally drawn to adventure. Every dry twig is a sword, every bike helmet turns you into a Power Ranger, and every bathtub is a brave vessel traversing the high seas.<br />
<br />
What happens to us that as adults we lose this sense of adventure? Why do we accept our irritation at every hiccup and delay? Yes, we have places to be and things to do. But is our frustration, anger, and negativity really helping anything?<br />
<br />
My life, like yours, includes its share of challenges. But since hearing that sermon a month ago, I've been trying out this "opportunity for adventure" idea. I'd like to share some reflections with you.<br />
<br />
Shortly after returning home from that restful vacation, this happened:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7aj9FdG-l0uMZF4V2E2pNf_2ayd8nr8_56LWJF9zOA-5kOZ7_oVFzVZ_OfHCtGkQbj88M0BfJ_r77HDWPTuIntr0G-AVFpR5Hy27mTF-RIPRXzNhP89ttGAE5S6KUwNoVrLHZlk2N1XA/s1600/IMG_1409.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7aj9FdG-l0uMZF4V2E2pNf_2ayd8nr8_56LWJF9zOA-5kOZ7_oVFzVZ_OfHCtGkQbj88M0BfJ_r77HDWPTuIntr0G-AVFpR5Hy27mTF-RIPRXzNhP89ttGAE5S6KUwNoVrLHZlk2N1XA/s320/IMG_1409.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Yes, that's our wonderful, LOADED van smooshed under a tree. It was a scary experience, but no one was hurt, and that's what you have insurance for, right? Opportunity for adventure. But as one dealer put it, people like shopping for cars about as much as they like going to the dentist. Nathan and I liked the IDEA of looking for a car. You get to dream a bit, look at features, consider upgrading or cutting costs. But the reality was that we had a week of church camp, then Nathan had a full load at work, and car shopping with two preschoolers in tow, during nap time, is NOT an easy experience. We were sweaty, frustrated, frazzled, embarrassed, and to top it off, Nathan and I wereNOT seeing eye-to-eye on anything. Adventure? Ha! We were lucky to survive!<br />
<br />
In the midst of this, I woke up one morning in a terrible funk. Like a woke-up-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-bed-then-stepped-on-legos-before-unintentionally-roller-skating-down-the-stairs-which-happened-to-be-covered-in-lobsters-and-mouse-traps kind of funk. It was bad. Now, I wasn't lying when I said I'm naturally optimistic. Bad moods like that are not my norm. And I recognized this particular bad mood right away. I even posted to Facebook about it, saying that I knew I was responsible for my attitude even when in a bad mood. But you know how bad moods go. Nate and I had a very uncomfortable phone conversation, I stewed some more, then we tried to drag those rambunctious punkins of ours car shopping during nap time, again. Sigh.<br />
<br />
The whole time, despite my overly-sensitive emotions and eyebrows pulled so far down over my eyes it was difficult to see, this verse ran through my head, persistently:<br />

"Give thanks in all circumstances..." Yep. Although this passage fits the idea of "opportunity for adventure" quite well, it DID NOT fit my attitude. Nothing like memorized scripture to set me straight.<br />
<br />
In the end, we DID pick a car:<br />

And it's a lovely vehicle. It met nearly every wish-list item (and several I didn't know I wanted until I saw this, like a cooler in the glove box?!), seats as many people as our van did, is less of a monthly payment than our van had been, is cooler than a van (yes!), and we were able to agree on it. The problem, though, is that I lost that sense of adventure, and in doing so, dragged my family down with me. We could have really enjoyed the whole process and modeled this adventurous attitude for our kids. Instead, I behaved like a spoiled, grumpy brat. Oops.<br />
<br />
Let's try again!<br />
<br />
Nate's gone this week. In the world of youth ministry, there's a saying: "I'm a youth ministry widow." Many of my friends know exactly what I mean! You may not know this, but youth ministers are away from home often. They work really crazy hours. And it can be stressful for their families.<br />
<br />
Early in Nate's ministry, I DID NOT handle him being away from home well. I whined and put a lot of pressure on him to stay with me. I seriously hindered his ministry. But I have successfully reformed my attitude, and in recent years, I've tried to see the times he's away as opportunities to make really special memories for our boys. Just like my attitude set the tone for our family while car shopping (FAIL), my attitude when Dad's away will set the tone for our kids. They can dread Dad being gone, or they can look forward to these new adventures. <br />
<br />
But guess what? It's been raining. Don't get me wrong; we need the rain! But rainy days when home alone with your kids for nearly 6 full days...eeek!<br />
<br />
Opportunity for adventure!<br />
<br />
Here's Monday:<br />

About 10:30 AM I resigned myself to the fact that the day would be soggy. So we donned our costumes (yes, we have super hero costumes on hand in ample supply) and set off for the World War II Victory Museum down the road. They have an exhibit of Carl Casper's celebrity cars, including a Batmobile, Batman motorcycle with Robin side car, Penguin's giant duck-vehicle-thing, etc. The boys are still free, and my admission was cheap, so we had a couple hours of fun hanging out in the museum with Batman. The boys even talked me in to lunch at "Happy Donald's" (McDonald's to those of you who don't combine Happy Meal with Mc Donald's the way my kids do), still in full costume. It was fun! A great way to fill a rainy morning :) Adventure=success!<br />
<br />
Tuesday, it rained again. In fact, it rained more than Monday. And boy, were we feeling it! That grumpiness was edging in on all three of us, and I knew we had to do SOMETHING! I didn't really feel like going out again (I'm a little nervous about storms after the whole tree-falling-on-our-van episode), so I set up a couple projects using materials we had around the house.<br />

Next, I let the boys explore scissors and glue. They thought they were playing. But I knew they were working on fine motor skills and learning to cut with the thumb on top. They loved it!<br />

<br />
Now that I've been trying to see potential frustrations as opportunities for adventure for about a month, I have some conclusions:<br />
<br />
1) It takes work. There are plenty of people in this world who will tell you that all your emotions are justified, that if things make you mad you're allowed to behave accordingly. But I don't believe that's true. I believe we are responsible for our attitudes no matter our circumstances. Go re-read that verse I included. Follow it up with this one:<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><sup class="versenum" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;"><i>5 </i></sup></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><i>In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. </i>(Philippians 2:5)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Or this one:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><sup class="versenum" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">14 </sup><i>Do everything without grumbling </i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-style: italic;"><sup class="crossreference" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-29406Y" title="See cross-reference Y">Y</a>)"></sup></span><i>or arguing. </i>(Philippians 2:14)</span></span><br />
I think the Apostle Paul had it worse than I do.<br />
Yet when the going got tough in my life, my natural inclination was to get grumpy, selfish, short-tempered, impatient, etc. I had to consciously work at my attitude (seeking forgiveness along the way), spending time praying and seeking the wisdom of God's word.<br />
<br />
2) Similarly, approaching frustration as adventure is easier when alone. I wouldn't have wanted to car shop alone (in fact, Nathan offered to let me do it alone, and I freaked out), but most of our separate grumpiness came from being out of sync with each other. Apart, we probably would have made it through with better attitudes. Together, we brought each other down (and the boys with us). Related to #1, to make this work as a family, we're going to have to work at it AS A FAMILY. We all have to be on board with CHOOSING to have a good attitude despite our circumstances, to help each other keep those attitudes up, giving grace and space when needed, and setting the tone with a (hopefully) contagious good attitude and excitement.<br />
<br />
3) Some adventures are planned, and some we enter unwittingly...maybe even kicking and screaming. Think Indiana Jones. He ran head-long into adventure. His gal-pal, not so much. But she became part of the adventure whether she liked it or not. And at some point, she inevitably got caught up in the thrill of the adventure. I think life works this way too. Sometimes we get enough notice that a potentially frustrating circumstance is coming that we can plan ahead and actively seek ways to make it an adventure and to be on guard against those bad attitudes. Other times, we are thrust into the story whether we like it or not. In those times, I think it's best to let go of our own emotions or agendas and dive right in. I was thankful to have some rainy-day plans ready to roll this week. Maybe every family should have some sort of adventure inventory so, when emotions encroach, you don't have to think too much or plan too much to make it a more positive experience. Be ready to roll with some bad mood busters.<br />
<br />
4) I believe this is an important attitude to teach our children. As parents, we play a huge role in shaping the adults our children will become. We can shape our kids into adults who gripe and complain at every frustration and challenge, or we can shape them into adults who can find the adventure in even the mundane delays. Which would be more fun to be around? Which would more accurately reflect those verses I included? <br />
<br />
5) But to do that, to help my children become adventurous, positive adults, I need to keep my own attitude in check. This is NOT easy. It takes intentional effort. Continuous effort. I have to ask for my family's forgiveness often. I pray for patience (ouch!). I need to take enough time to myself that I can be refreshed and rested enough to be...enough...for my family. And I need to commit verses to memory that will help guide me when my own emotions threaten to run away with me.<br />
<br />
I think seeking the adventure in life is worth it.<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts? Do you have any experiences with adventures to share? Are you more like Indiana Jones or the gal pal? What are your favorite bad mood busters?Katie Powellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03464146992139742904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044569148878623320.post-16219358572964815022012-06-04T14:25:00.003-07:002012-06-04T14:25:48.233-07:00Guest-Post: Another Example of Life with EDSHere's a guest-post by fellow EDS-er Adrienne!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi there to all of Katie’s readers! My name is Adrienne and
I’ve gotten to know Katie because we both share the same collagen disorder
known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I’m 37 years old and I have two sons who are 9
and 7 who are both extremely active and boisterous and require a lot of
physical and emotional attention, which isn’t easy for anyone all of the time,
but especially not for someone suffering from chronic pain. Parents with EDS live
every day dealing with random injuries and pain in various parts of the body,
including: neck, back, hips, ankles, fingers, elbows, shoulders, intestines,
eyes, bladder, feet and toes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Evidently I’ve had this disorder all my life but have only
recently been diagnosed with it. I’ve had odd pains since my teenage years,
though nothing was TOO bad until my late 20s, after I had my children.
Parenting young children is a considerable job in itself, and working outside
of the home while trying to parent them is a feat that only super-humans can
successfully achieve! I stayed home with them when they were young but then
went back to work two years ago only to discover that my body could no longer
physically withstand an 8 hour work day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last year I had to <a href="http://dailypath.com/blog/leave-the-past-alone-and-make-the-present-perfect/">say
goodbye to the old me</a> and say hello to the new me with limitations. I had
to explain to my children that I can’t do all of the physically active things
that we used to do, and that was really tough. I went through a really emotional
time while I mourned my lost abilities to run, hike, carry my kids, and play on
playgrounds.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lost</i> some
abilities, I gained <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so much</i> in the
way of mental strength and focus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had
to quit the job that I started but I became insanely determined to <a href="http://dailypath.com/blog/643/">create a life for myself that worked</a>.
Through persistence, therapy (both physical and mental), a deluge of
medications and supplements, a shift in the way I ate, intense focus on
meditation, and learning to ask for help when I need it, I have managed to look
at my life with a positive spin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
sometimes still long to hike to the top of a steep hill to feel the rush of the
breeze and to see the city below. The other night I cried because I probably
shouldn’t have any more children if I can’t adequately carry them. But,
overall, when I look at my life now, with a disability, I am so much happier
and grounded than ever before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether you were forced to slow down or you chose to, what
did you discover when you looked at your life with a disability?<o:p></o:p></div>
