Several of you have asked about the printable masks I have. Now remember, it is much more fun to create them! But if you aren't feeling creative today...here's the links:

Welcome!

Sands of Time is a project that was started three years ago in my classroom. I have found that many children seem to be facinated with rocks and sand and I always wanted to base a lesson on this interest but couldn't figure out a cool way to get started. Then one day I was looking through a magazine at the doctor's office and inspiration hit!

I've created this blog to help assist other teachers that have attended my Sands of Time workshop; however I'll happily share the lessons, etc. with parents or anyone else that "digs sand"!!

Please feel free to post any questions, new ideas, things that worked (or didn't) in the blog. Thanks for dropping by!
