Analogies An analogy is a comparison between two things that are usually thought to be different from each other, but that have something in common. Analogies help us to understand something because they are compared to something we already know. It might sound a little confusing, but a few examples will make it easier to understand. Learning analogies can help reading and building vocabulary. Learning tools, like a thesaurus, can be very helpful if you get stuck when trying to use an analogy. Bird is to feather as dog is to ________. Hot is to Florida as _______ is to the North Pole. Similes and metaphors are two types of analogies. A great way to practice analogies is with online games.

No Stress, No Fuss Christmas Pageant & Worship Part I « Still Waters 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. (Luke 2.16) Every year around this time, congregations struggle to find a fresh way to retell the familiar story of the birth of baby Jesus. Luke 2.16 always seemed to cause the most stress for me because every year, I always managed to lose baby Jesus. No matter how careful I would store away the baby doll (AKA baby Jesus), I could never remember where I put him and this realization always happened at the last minute. I think one time, I had to substitute my son’s stuffed dinosaur at the last minute. The Sunday before Christmas, we have an annual Christmas pageant. This is when I discovered the no stress, no fuss Christmas pageant. Note: At the beginning of each part within the script, children and adults are invited to come forward to the chancel to assume the character they want to be. Welcome: Introduce the pageant and give instructions to the congregation. Narrator: Part I: Mary and Joseph

Area, Perimeter, and Fractions Idea I just found this really cute idea using area, perimeter and fractions all in one. Katie, Over at I Want To Be A Super Teacher posted about an activity she did with her class. I love the fraction idea of using 47/47 meaning 1 whole person. Sometimes they forget when the numerator and denominator are the same, it means 1 whole. I love the idea of using the area and perimeter to outline their own body image and then for each body part. What a great way to integrate! Thanks Katie, for a great post!
