Get Students Interested in Learning

Use games in order to make learning more fun. You can either make up your own games or you can buy them. Just be sure they are a lot of fun and pertinent to what you are trying to teach in your classroom. Kids enjoy playing all types of games so you can be sure to keep their interest in the classroom if you play a learning game each day. Try not to make it a game where there are any winners and losers though, make it something where everyone wins so that no one will feel left out if they still just can't seem to get the material. Of course, there are some occasions when all of the educational learning tools in the world can't help a student catch on to a lesson. We have all been there, where we just don't understand something. If this is the case for you with a student, then be sure not to call attention to the fact that they are struggling. Simply talk to them to see if there is anything you can do to help them understand the material better. All it takes is to ask and then it will be clear how to help.

A word from our owner

To all PureFUN! Customers:
The tragedy and evil of the event in Connecticut this past weekend haunts us all. We are rocked to our core when evil breaks out on our kids – the most vulnerable of us. We want you to know that all of us here at PureFUN! are not only keeping the victims and their loved ones in our prayers but you as well. We know you will be directly impacted by this as you interact

with, answer questions for and discuss this event with the children and parents you serve. We pray God will give you the wisdom you need during this difficult time.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Bulletin Board Sets

There is nothing wrong with just decorating the bulletin boards for the fun of it in your classroom. There are so many different options available that are just for fun. You can theme your board to go with the seasons or the holidays. If you really want to add at least one thing educational to the board going with this theme, you can include a fact about that month, season, or holiday that the students may not have known. The board will still be all about fun, but they will learn at least one thing while looking at it. Bulletin board sets should be thought of as supplemental materials in the class. You can either make it overtly educational or you can spice it up with fun while they learn a little something. It is all really up to you and how you feel your students learn the best. Just be sure to change the board up every once in a while so the students are not stuck looking at the same boring thing all year while in the classroom.

Teach Your Kids The Value of Fruit

Purefun has always been focused on giving childcare providers safe, healthy juices for their kids. Fruits and vegetables are essential to a healthy, balanced life and kids should be taught about them at an early age. Teach your students about antioxidants and how they prevent cancer. Also, let them know that apples and other fruits trigger your body to know when it is full instead of overeating. Teach them about bananas and potassium and how this helps to prevent cramps. One of the easiest ways to get children introduced to fruits is to give them fruit stickers on their classroom work.

Themed activities will allow you to tie in each subject's monthly lesson ideas and keep your students actively engaged in each hour of the day, while supplemental learning center activities will give students a chance to work on their own or with each other.

Dolls Teach Through Play

With dolls, kids can explore and find that there is a child to match every doll they play with and learn that there is no difference that makes a child less able to be a friend or less able to be enjoyed. Our ethnic dolls help engage children in social discourse and encourage a breaking of the stereotypes that naturally build with age.

Our multicultural dolls can be used to teach a child how any baby would like to be rocked, cuddled, bathed, fed, and changed, as well as how a baby needs love and comfort. Showing a small child how to love a doll reinforces the care their own parents feel for them. Dolls can be used to teach little boys that there is nothing wrong with wanting to love a baby, care for a baby, dress or feed it. In fact, boys who play with dolls have more opportunities to learn how to become a loving, caring, fathers in the future.

Early Child Motor Skills

Gross motor skills involve the use of large muscle groups. Infants acquire these skills by learning how to hold one's head up and eventually turn over their body, laying on their backs and flipping onto their bellies and vice versa. Over time, gross motor skills such as crawling, standing, balancing, and walking are learned, eventually turning into running, jumping, and pedaling. Gross Motor Skills for Little Learners is an excellent collection of activities that help children develop these crucial gross early child motor skills.

There are several subcategories that are included in gross motor skills. Locomotive skills involve coordinating the entire body while crawling, walking, running, and skipping. Stability skills help one balance their body while it's in motion turning, twisting, rolling, and bending. The EZ Stepper is a family favorite to practice stability. Manipulation skills are the use of hands and fingers to manipulate objects by throwing, dribbling, catching, and kicking. Joey Jump is an exciting game a child can play to learn hand-eye coordination with catching. By incorporating gross and fine early child motor skills into game and playtime, children will learn the skills they will use for a lifetime while having fun.

Peanut School Decorations

I love EVERYTHING Peanuts! But….. who doesn’t!

Back to school time reminds me of Peanuts. We are now offering a great variety of items that work perfectly in any classroom. Whether you are looking to create a specific bulletin board for your classroom, or if you just want cute stickers to put on papers that you are grading, purefunsupply.com has a great variety of items.

When creating a bulletin board remember the basics. Always start with an eye catching back ground color. It should match the items that you are going to be putting on top. For example if you want to make a bulletin board about setting goals, first check out this great goal banner (Peanuts of course!)

I would make my background color Yellow to make the few yellow pictures pop! Then i would make the banner the main focus of my board. Use large block letters to make a catchy phrase. Then find other bulletin board sets that will make your board pop.

Leave a space for students to write their goals and then you can post them to the board! Help your students learn how to track their goals and celebrate them when they achieve them!

 

Happy Back to School!

Tasting Colors

 

Orange juice

We always tell our schools to have the students try to GUESS the flavor they are drinking when they are serving our Stain Fighter Clear flavors. Here is a great blog from www.education.com with a fun activity to see if your eyes can fool your taste buds.

 

http://www.education.com/science-fair/article/can-eyes-fool-taste-buds/

Author: Shelly Smith

Topics Fifth Grade, Fourth Grade, Third Grade, Second Grade, First Grade, Elementary School, Psychology

Grade Level: 1st to 5th; Type: Psychology

Objective:

This project examines whether people’s perceptions of taste are influenced by their sight.

Research Questions:

Can the color of a food or drink affect a person’s perception of its taste? or Can our eyes fool our taste buds?

Materials:
  • Three containers of apple juice ( or feel free to try any of our clear flavors for a mixture)
  • Red and green food coloring
  • 60 small, clear plastic cups
  • 20 test subjects •
  • Paper
  • Pencil
Experimental Procedure:
  1. With the food coloring, dye one container of juice red and one container of juice green.
  2. Pour a couple of inches of juice into each cup so that you have 20 cups of red juice, 20 cups of green juice, and 20 cups of uncolored juice.
  3. Place one cup of each color of juice in front of a test subject.
  4. Ask your subject to taste the red juice and tell you what flavor it is.
  5. Ask your subject to taste the green juice and tell you what flavor it is.
  6. Ask your subject to taste the uncolored juice and tell you what flavor it is.
  7. Record their answers.
  8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 for all of your subjects.
  9. Analyze your results. Did the color of the juice affect your subjects’ perceptions of their flavors? Did people mis-identify the flavors in keeping with the colors. (For example: Did they think the red juice tasted like fruit punch or cherry?)

Terms/Concepts: Taste buds, Sense of Taste, Sense of Sight

Early Childhood Lacings are Colorful, Fun Games as Learning Tools

Children learn to control both large and small muscle groups through play. This means they need a variety of activity for both large movements and balance and small movements that help them manipulate small items using their fingers. Lacing cards are fun for children because it is like sewing and the cards and string are colorful and durable. Using various colors of lacing string and cards can help a child learn colors and learn to mix and match various colors. It takes patience to sit and lace cards, so while doing so, children also develop attention skills to help them sit and finish the task at hand.

Schools, daycare centers and churches can all benefit from having learning toys for the children they care for. A variety of puzzles, lacing cards and various arts and crafts help the child learn while having fun. They are all also good entertainment and keep children occupied while learning and developing necessary skills. When choosing games and toys for children, take the age and skill level into consideration and remember that children love colorful, cute of funny pictures. Learning games should be inviting and a fun activity that holds a child's attention to be an effective learning tool.

Church Inspirational Decorations Help Children Learn

Kids learn better when there is constant mentions of the concepts learned. For this reason, decorating a bulletin board or Sunday school or vacation bible school with colorful virtues to read each time they are in the room is a good way to reinforce concepts teachers want the child to grasp. You can do the same with each new concept that the children are learning, such as books of the Bible, biblical characters of the Old Testament, a creation mural or scripture. When a child sees these bright, eye-catching church inspiration decorations each day, the information stays with them.

Church inspiration decorations can also teach other learning concepts, such as letters, numbers, colors and shapes. Meaning, this decorations can help enforce both values and mainstream learning concepts. This helps children with their overall education as well as learning the principle values taught in the Bible and by the church. Decoration can do a great deal to make a bright, inviting learning environment that makes children excited about the items on the board or on the walls. As they look at these things, they absorb information and retain it, as the bright pictures capture their attention each time they enter the room.

Improving Reading Fluency

The Building Fluency line of educational resource helps students learn the ability of reading fluency at a young age. They attempt to make reading fun by including poems, songs, rhymes and chants as part of the learning process. If a child has a good time doing something they are more likely to remember it and be more willing to take part in the fun again. The Building Fluency resources are available for grade 1 through grade 6 and also include many transparencies for an overhead projector as teaching aids. They make a great addition for any elementary school classroom.

The Developing Reading Fluency series of books were developed by Trisha Callella, a teacher with 15 years’ experience in teaching at an Elementary school level. She also holds a master’s degree in reading and has four years’ experience with reading recovery. Currently she teaches master’s level classes at the University of LaVerne. Trisha Callella has developed this series of reading resources using her many years of knowledge as a reading development expert and teacher. They are available from grades 1 through 4 and make a great educational resource for any teacher to have in their classroom.

Many other noted reading fluency aids are available as a great supplement to a well thought out teaching curriculum, from guides disguised as books of games or nursery rhymes to more complex teaching aids that come with educational DVD’s showing methods in action. Including any one of these fantastic resources to a classroom or a home school will greatly increase a child’s ability to comprehend the reading process.

Daycare Cribs Are Multi-Purpose for Multiple Children


Anyone who runs a daycare understands that cribs need to be completely safe and also certified to meet federal and state standards. We have daycare cribs that can be put to multi-purpose use – either as cribs, or as a play area, and we have cribs that allow you to stow them away at the end of the day. We offer our customers a chance to enjoy safe, quality equipment in an affordable way, and so we have several options of styles, convenience and price for you to choose from. In addition to regular cribs, we also have evacuation cribs in our stock.
Daycare cribs have several specific guidelines that they need to meet. They must be completely safe, they must be sturdy, they need to be easily cleaned, and they should be affordable. The Celebrity Portable crib is one of our top sellers, as it can be used for play or for sleep. It is one of the least expensive options available, and meets all required guidelines for safety. It is lightweight enough to be portable, and folds away into a tote bag. Not only is it great for children to sleep in, but they can use it for playtime as well.
In an emergency, you do not want to have to worry about your daycare cribs – you need reliable equipment at all times. Evacuation cribs are built to be sturdy enough to hold more than one child in case of a dire need. The compact size makes it easy to move through doorways in a hurry, and the safety labels can be used as guidelines in an emergency. The hardware is equipped for just such a scenario, and you can take care of the children without worrying about the cribs instead. In addition, it offers teething rings, an anti-microbial mattress and heavy locking casters.
As another kind of multi-purpose daycare cribs, the Angeles Compact Clearview Fixed Side crib is an outstanding crib for any daycare, home or church. The crib adjusts to two heights in order to accommodate the needs of multiple children. The rubber casters can lock into place after you wheel it in the room, and the clear panels at each end ensure a good view of the child while they are resting. This crib comes with a three inch rubber mattress, and meets all of the safety standards required. For even more peace of mind, there is a five year warranty on this product.

The Importance of Sight Reading


Being able to sight read common words is an important step in learning to read. It frees up time to focus on sounding out unfamiliar words and makes reading faster. As kids recognize more words and read faster, their confidence in their own reading abilities grows. Proficient readers sight-read almost all words, pausing only when something doesn’t make sense.

Teaching your kids to sight read some of the most common words around consequently a good idea. They would naturally pick up these words as they read more, but why not help them along. Purefun offers an excellent selection of sight words learning materials for preschools, schools, and parents.

Flash cards are among the best tools for sight reading. Hold up the card and ask your kid to read the word. Let him or her sound it out if s/he doesn’t recognize it yet, but remember the goal is to recognize the word and not have to sound it out. Start with just a few cards. Once your child has these down, add one or two more to the mix. Keep the words your child already knows so that s/he doesn’t forget them and gets a boost of confidence from reading some words correctly.
