2nd Grade Word List, O-Z
2nd Grade Word List, A-N
A few months ago, I gave you all a list of 1st grade high frequency words. I have managed to acquire a list of 2nd grade words as well, so I'm passing the list on to you. These lists are long, so I will divide this up into two separate posts.

More Than Colors
My son brought home a bag of goodies from preschool this week. Inside were things he had made and gifts from his teacher. One of the gifts was a baggie of M&Ms with a poem inside, "More Than Colors".
More Than Colors
These special little candies,
Come in colors bright and fun.
There's more than color to be found;
A Story of God's Son.
The M's turn into W's,
If you turn them upside down.
A few more turns and E and 3's
Are waiting to be found.
M is for the manger,
Where Mary laid her precious boy.
Little did the world know,
This boy would bring great joy.
The W is for the Wise men,
Who followed a bright star.
The star revealed a king was born,
They came but, oh, so far.
In Bethlehem they found Him,
Just as they had been told.
Just as they had been told.
3 is for the gifts they brought;
Frankincense, myrrh, and gold.
W is also for their worship.
As they bowed before their King,
Salvation is the promise given,
There's nothing we can bring.
Faith along is how we come
He died to set us free
E is for eternity
God's gift to you and me.
~Barbara Hooks
You could print this on some nice stationery or print it on colored paper and cut around it with scalloped scissors. This would be a nice addition to a simple gift.
Be sure to check other Christmas ideas from the archives.

Review and Giveaway: Tiny Baby Jesus
Tiny feet of Jesus,
kicking up a storm.
Angels circling round his bed
keep him safe and warm.
Now those feet are bigger,
walking on the sea,
leaving us his footsteps, saying,
"Come and follow me!"
kicking up a storm.

leaving us his footsteps, saying,
"Come and follow me!"
When we celebrate Christmas at our house, we don't simply celebrate the birth of Jesus. There is more to the story and to the eternal hope that we have through the death and resurrection of our Lord. For this reason, I was pleased to review Tiny Baby Jesus.
While reading Tiny Baby Jesus together this Christmas season, children and families can celebrate the gift of Jesus from head to tiny toes. As they turn the pages, they will discover the wonder of hands that develop into those of a carpenter and swaddled shoulders that grow to carry the weight of all mankind. Readers can share in the humble birth of tiny baby Jesus while remembering the life and teachings of the grown savior.
Tiny Baby Jesus is written by award-winning author Dandi Daley Mackall and illustrated by 
Julia Noonan. “I don’t think we can talk about Baby Jesus enough—to our children, to our neighbors, or to ourselves,” says Dandi Daley Mackall.”
Dandi Daley Mackall is the author of more than 400 books, including several titles for Zonderkidz such as The Legend of St. Nicholas, The Gift of the Christmas Cookie, the Ali Cat I CAN READ™ series, and the That’s Nat! early reader series. Dandi is the recipient of the 2009 Helen Keating Ott Award for Outstanding Contribution to Children's Literature from the Church and Synagogue Library Association (CSLA). Dandi and her husband, Joe, both write from rural Ohio, where they’re blessed with three children and a variety of horses, dogs, and cats. Visit http://www.dandibooks.com/ for more information.

First Grade Shapes List
Here is the list of shapes for first graders. Notice that a parallelogram is no longer called a diamond. Oops. That might be something we want to tweak with teaching preschool and kindergarten. Maybe we could mention that it's also called a parallelogram. That might help with learning them later.

A Pumpkin Parable
My kids brought treat bags home from church Wednesday. Inside was a die cut paper pumpkin with a pumpkin parable on it. I know it's last minute, but I thought some of you might want to make these for tonight's trick-or-treaters.
A Pumpkin Parable
Sometimes I feel like I'm a pumpkin. Please don't think it's odd.
I'm growing in a pumpkin patch that's planted there by God.
God picks me from the pumpkin patch and washes off the dirt;
Scoops out the seeds of sin and hate and anger, greed and hurt.
And then, to show how much I'm loved, God marks me with a sign
And opens up my eyes and mouth: all part of God's design.
Then filled with love God sets me out for everyone to see,
So all the pumpkins in the patch can see God's light through me.
You are the light of the world.
Matthew 5:14

Christian Pumpkin Carvings
Cuddlebug brought this home from preschool today so I thought I'd share this for Halloween.
You'll need:
orange pumpkin with poem on 11x14 paper
two yellow stars for eyes
yellow cross for nose
yellow fish for mouth
glue
Here's the poem:
Christian Pumpkin Carvings
I am a Jack O Lantern
My light will shine so bright
For I am a Christian pumpkin
My symbols tell what's right
My nose is like the cross
On which the Savior died,
To set us free from sin
We need no longer hide.
My mouth is like a fish
The whole wide world to show,
That Christians live in this house
And love their Savior so!
The story starts at Christmas
My eyes are like the star,
That shone on Baby Jesus
And wise men saw from afar.
My color is orange
Just like the bright sun,
That rose on Easter Day
Along with God's own Son.
And so on Halloween
Let's set our pumpkins out,
And tell the trick or treaters
What God's love is all about!
