The Importance of State Fairs

Ok, I admit it.  I am a Country Girl.  True Blue Through and Through!  
I have been so blessed to raise my children on a farm and teach them the fundamentals of life.
We plant the seed, water it, watch it grow,and then harvest it.  We feed, water, and tend to many animals.

  We pray every day for the success of our hard work, and time invested in building our farm and ranching business.
A Great opportunity that many in this world today don't get to enjoy.

So, where do many of the children in the world get their food?  The grocery store, right?
Well, that is a true statement.  But, where does the grocery store get the food from?

 How many of you are taking the opportunity to take your children to the State Fairs around the country?  These are a Great way of teaching our children the basic concepts of self-esteem and survival.

I am lucky enough to live very close to the Eastern Idaho State Fair.
It has been a wonderful opportunity to have our children and neighbors participate in 4-H and other programs that are vital in the education of our rising generation.

Many of our family members have learned about developing their talents by having their work judged by someone who has been trained to know the value of their hard work.  Whether it be in the barn or in the sewing and cake decorating department.  The lessons and rewards are endless.

I truly Love to walk through the Hand Crafting, and the Art buildings!  Oh, how I wish that I could do what others do.  I get to enjoy from a distance the talents and gifts that others possess.

The inspiration behind my store,

Latter-daycrafters.com 

came from those gifted and talented people around me.

[Teacher Tuesday] Left•Right•Center ADDITION

My own kiddos (Luke included, lol) are LOVING the Left Right Center multiplication game!
We played 4 rounds on Sunday!
So much fun!!!
(One suggestion I have is to run each "number" on a different color so you can sort the cards quickly for differentiation; ie: all 0x_ facts would be on purple, all 1x_ facts would be on green, etc.  Then you can just pull out and focus on the facts that your kiddo needs to practice most!).

So, because I know this game is a HUGE HIT, I created the Addition Version.
It matches the First Grade Common Core Standard 1.OA.6: Add. . within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition. . .within 10.

And here it is. . .FREE for you!
If you love it, please leave a little comment of thanks.  :)

The multiplication version is FREE here at Latter-Day Crafters.
The subtraction version is only $3 at Teacher's Notebook.

I'm working on a division version.
It's requiring a little more brain power than I am capable of right now.
It is August after all. . .

Have a great week!
Stop by My Little Classity Class and say hi!
See you back here next week.
