In the midst of updating my Terms of Use I came to the conclusion that Resources by Lolly K has run it's course. My little experiment was fun to say the least, but the time required to run two blogs and stores that complement each other seems unwarranted.<br />
<br />
I sent a message out this morning to my followers on Teachers Pay Teachers (see below) outlining how any products that are updated for the migration will be updated at the RBLK store for those who have made those purchases to upload the updated file. I'm unsure how long the process will take but I will telegraph a final date allowing plenty of time for people to access the updates.<br />
<br />
I want to thank all those who have supported the blog and the store, it has been appreciated.<br />

<br />
Here is the message I sent my TpT followers today:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">Dear Followers,</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10px;">Thank you so much for your support over the 18 months this little project has been up and running. Resources by Lolly K came about due to some requests I received via my other blog/store (</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;"></span><a data-mce-href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elementary-Observations" href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elementary-Observations" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">Elementary Observations</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">). In an effort to keep my Montessori and general works separate RBLK was born. </span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10px;">Unfortunately the experiment has run its course and I have decided to merge the two after all. The majority of my products would easily fit under the "Montessori-inspired" banner and as such the time and energy to run two stores seems unwarranted. </span></span></span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">As part of the process I will be updating all of the items that will be moved over to the other store, so they are branded as such. I will upload the these updates to this store as well, as they roll out, so that you can download the up to date file as it become available. I will leave this store open for a reasonable amount of time after the migration so that everyone has a reasonable opportunity to obtain the updates for their purchases for free. I will give a warning of a final date once the migration is complete. I want to wrap up the store in the most fair and equitable way possible. </span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">Thanks again for all the support and please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">Kind regards,</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">Lolly</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I will continue to keep readers updated here at the blog as well as on TpT and other social media. </span></span><br />

My health continues to go up and down, which is something I can expect to go on for a while. The tutoring studio is plodding along - I am contemplating Instagram as a way to remember to take photo's of things that I can record and share. I will update you with anything new as it happens.<br />
<br />
My <a href="http://elementaryobservations.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">other blog</a> has been taking up the little bit of free time I have had - again mostly behind the scenes stuff, not a lot of visible happenings there either. I have lots of ideas for resources and materials, but finding the time is difficult. I tend to prioritise my creations based on what our needs are in the tutoring studio, and of course what my own children may need or be interested in.<br />
<br />
In an effort to blow off the cobwebs I have some new little social media icons in my sidebar - hopefully I will be adding an IG one to the collection soon.<br />

This little blog is a space where I share some of my tutoring work and other educational ideas, materials and thoughts that fall outside of my <a href="http://elementaryobservations.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Montessori elementary work</a>.<br />
<br />
It all started last Christmas when I was commissioned to create some resources for an ex-Montessori colleague who teaches remotely. He uses Montessori principles and wanted some Montessori friendly resources that would be flexible for his multi-age classroom. You can see one of these commissions <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Parts-of-a-Volcano-2820323" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

<br />
<b>Rotation of the Earth & The Seasons</b> - this pack contains an unlabelled chart, a labelled chart, a booklet about the rotation of the earth and the resulting seasons, twelve task/activity cards and a note booking page. Makes a great mini-unit or the foundation of a larger unit. Suitable for grades 2 through to 6, possibly 7.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b>Orders of Mammalia</b> - this is the first of a series I am doing on the different classes of animals. It features eighteen pairs of picture and information cards, mammal summary card, worksheet (and answer key), word search (and answer key) and a card for guiding independent research. Suitable for grades three to seven (and beyond). When the series is completed these will be bundled.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Synonyms-Shades-of-Meaning-2654222" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3wslBczk0WA/WDqQ8OE3l8I/AAAAAAAAAUs/MWBqUPUrh-8VZoOAROp6jgE8GMjUFJcDACLcB/s400/RBLK3.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Synonyms: Shades of Meaning</b> - a flexible set of word cards. Essentially seven sets of twelve verbs for exploring synonyms. The file contains a colour coded set and plain set for more versatility. A really fun thing to do after initial lessons is to use them for charades to further cement students understanding of synonyms. For older students these will aid discussion of how synonyms can deepen our writing. There is a record sheet for students to write the definition of a synonym in their own words and two record some examples.<br />
<br />
What is on your TpT wishlist? Now is the perfect time to grab it on sale - you can also see what other's top three wish list items are <a href="http://daisydesignstpt.blogspot.com.au/2016/11/tpt-wishlist-linky.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> (goes live on the 28th).

It is something parents, teachers and the wider community are all keen to get behind - and with good reason. There are so many positives to having a kitchen garden at school, especially when the children are able to take responsibility and ownership of it for themselves.<br />

<h4>
What's in the vegetable garden?</h4>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I think it is really important children make a connection with their food from a young age. It cultivates an appreciation of the world we live in and provides an understanding of where our food comes from. Many of my students do not have a vegetable patch at home, which is why it is so fantastic that kitchen gardens have become so prevalent in our schools. Not only do they provide academic learning opportunities but they also allow children to foster a sense of responsibility, cultivate self-esteem, team building and cooperation as well as drawing connections between learning and life.<br />
<br />
Using photos from my personal vegetable garden at home I have created a set of vegetable patch three part cards and a scavenger hunt page. The scavenger hunt page could be a great conversation starter for older students as to why certain plants cannot be found in different parts of the country (or world!) and at different times of the year. For younger students it can be a way to keep them focused and honing their observation skills whilst being outside hunting.<br />

<br />
Having great references for students to access can really spark their interest. I like to have a two or <br />
<a name='more'></a>three quality reference books on display, but not too many that the children are overwhelmed. Plus you want to encourage their desire for further research at the library.<br />
<br />

<h4>
Learning About Continents</h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">For younger children - globes, maps and cards are essential for hands on exploration and understanding. Older students are equally interested in real maps and globes, lending themselves to learning opportunities such as longitude and latitude, finding coordinates,</span><br />
<br />
You can find a tutorial for a no-sew felt continent map <a href="http://www.montessoriencasa.es/nuestro-mapamundi-de-fieltro-sin-coser-our-felt-world-map-no-sew/" target="_blank">HERE</a>, Check it out, it is awesome (scroll down for English translation).<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">You can find some free continent cards <a href="http://elementaryobservations.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/continent-cards.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TFQe9tGJBqw/V6Wfu1oQH0I/AAAAAAAAANg/P2lGyd0wYL8CIpqvxlQB228AgKhUWHldgCLcB/s1600/3PartCards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TFQe9tGJBqw/V6Wfu1oQH0I/AAAAAAAAANg/P2lGyd0wYL8CIpqvxlQB228AgKhUWHldgCLcB/s400/3PartCards.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">For older children - continental plates and drift theory which I will talk about some more in an upcoming geology post.</span><br /><br />Learning About Countries</h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Inspired by <a href="http://www.everystarisdifferent.com/2014/09/south-america-unit-w-free-printables.html" target="_blank">this post</a> I took the idea to the next level by including the ordinal points of the compass as well as the cardinal. I loved the idea of using a map to help cement the concepts of the points of the compass and using it as a unifying activity. The children can really extend their knowledge with this activity and it can be modified to suit various ages.</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mByPW_7pFvA/WBCyq0HLo3I/AAAAAAAAAS0/_BTKFe_tnG863LPI7UeXHS4DjH4Rt8lUQCLcB/s1600/Geography-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mByPW_7pFvA/WBCyq0HLo3I/AAAAAAAAAS0/_BTKFe_tnG863LPI7UeXHS4DjH4Rt8lUQCLcB/s320/Geography-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Students choose a continent map and randomly chose a country as a starting point, then use the cards to practice their cardinal and ordinal point skills. They can simply colour and label each country, or do more research depending on the learning outcomes appropriate for their level. Of course you may find other ways to use them.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
The other thing I like about this activity as it incorporates using reference books (primarily an atlas, but if their interest is piqued hopefully other resources as well). The extra cards in the set relating to mountains, rivers and capitals are great for older children to practice and hone their research skills.<br />

<h4>
Learning About Flags</h4>
Parts of a flag - I think this work provides a a good foundation for building the child's knowledge. Introducing children to vexillology will give them an understanding of the design features, symbology and function of flags.<br />
<br />
Flags of countries - for younger students drawing the flags of other countries can be a good exercise for developing pencil skills, and it can be an early platform for research.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IWTePdoGYrM/V5beDGy7-3I/AAAAAAAAAMs/sC3y3fpfodMr9CiRz0MMFgURhHbQcR15gCLcB/s1600/flags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IWTePdoGYrM/V5beDGy7-3I/AAAAAAAAAMs/sC3y3fpfodMr9CiRz0MMFgURhHbQcR15gCLcB/s320/flags.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
One activity many of my new elementary students enjoy is copying different flags of the world. This will often lead them to ask where each country is on a map and open many lines of inquiry - leading into history, geographic politics and economics.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I love this work with synonyms - it is a great way to get students thinking about their word choices in both their writing and everyday conversation.<br />
<br />
Some ideas for use:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>classifying the degrees of meaning of each synonym</li>
<li>play charades or password</li>
<li>allow children to choose 2 - 3 words for sentences or stories</li>
<li>as a group create sentences and switch synonyms to see how each modifies the sentence</li>
</ul>
<br />

And the majority of them are great/cute/fun/etc. But there is something special about the Montessori style ones you see.<br />
<br />

Montessori mathematics is VERY clever and I could write oodles on the topic of just how clever the maths materials you see in Montessori classrooms are. Essentially though, everything has a direct purpose and an indirect purpose (laying the foundation for something else to come). Which brings me to the number cards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2gNKujuL5y0/VwtytI2L8_I/AAAAAAAAAK0/FRfWfvijQYEiA5wy_cZDtSZMBkMeHUNrg/s1600/IMG_6278.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2gNKujuL5y0/VwtytI2L8_I/AAAAAAAAAK0/FRfWfvijQYEiA5wy_cZDtSZMBkMeHUNrg/s320/IMG_6278.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The Montessori number cards, and the way young children are taught to lay out the corresponding counters, are purposeful in the pattern they use. The direct purpose of the cards are for teaching the value of numbers, but the indirect purpose that the pattern prepares the child for is the more abstract concept of odd and even numbers. So whilst it is not explicitly taught at this stage, it is preparing them for concept for when the time comes and providing an opportunity for the child to make this discovery for herself. You may see this pattern in other numeracy materials I have developed.<br />

It is so much fun, I think because language and etymology really come into play and it can be one way of engaging students with some lively discussion.<br />
<br />
This set of mammal cards serve as an introduction to the main orders within the class mammalia. There is a picture card and information/description card for the orders covered (18). They have been colour coded as these are the first in a series of resources, as I hope to cover each of the classes.<br />

Flexibility is key to most of the materials I make. These cards can be used for matching and reading, made into a chart or booklet, etc. I will make a set to have on hand and also use the picture cards to make an Animal Kingdom chart when I have completed making all of my sets.<br />

Over at my other blog I have a FREEBIE that can be handy for free form classification work. Kids love spreading out animal cards on the ground, sorting and classifying and discussing what goes where and why. (click <a href="http://elementaryobservations.blogspot.com.au/p/downloads.html">HERE</a> and scroll down to the 'Biology' section)</div>

I created this pink flamingo design and thought I would use it for a weekly planner.<br />
<br />
My goal is create a series of planning pages with this and other deigns and I would love some feedback! I am offering this first file for FREE for a LIMITED TIME.<br />

It is a general planning page, it could be used for school or home. It is designed for LETTER sized paper (not A4 - I hope to have an A4 version out soon) although depending on your printer options you can still print to A4. I'm using mine for my weekly blog plan.<br />

So I was really excited when I was approached by a former colleague who is now a home-school mama to put some resources together for her.<br />
<br />
This pack provides the foundation for understanding how the Earth's movement around the Sun effects changes in the seasons. The task/activity cards are designed to appeal to different ways of learning (multiple intelligences) and encourage students to enrich their understanding.<br />
