In third grade my teacher, Mr. McArthur, would challenge us every holiday with a word contest. He would give us the name of the holiday and we would have to see how many little words we could find within the big word. I LIVED for these word contests and would spend any remaining time after I finished homework in the evening searching for words, dictionary beside me, until I was quite certain I would be the winner. I think I won all, if not nearly all, of those word challenges that year.
I did the same thing when I was a teacher except I had Limber Letters for my students to use. It was great to see them mixing things around, finding words they might have not otherwise found. It makes a HUGE difference to visually see letter combinations. The double "ee" or "ll" for example.. putting those together and looking at the other letters makes it easier to see possibilities.
Have a friend, class, family or neighborhood challenge. Give it as an assignment during school breaks -- it will keep your school aged children busy for quite some time (at least it did me).
Happy letters to all of you! The letters are going fast. I only have about 8 more bags ready for this round of selling and then I will be taking a break...

Random question but I didn't see an email.
I taught my son (35months) numbers by just counting out loud and counting objects. He can count objects and count out loud to 13 . However, he doesn't recognized the numeral 3, etc. For my next child I'll teach him to count and the numerals at the same time. I don't know how to bridge the gap for my 3year old now. It feels like I'm just holding or pointing to numbers and asking what it is and he may guess a couple before saying he doesn't want to anymore. How can I teach him that a 6 is a 6, etc? Please help!

I don't think it's a problem really. Just by continually putting a set number of things together with the the picture of the corresponding numeral(or writing the numeral at the same time) would be a start. Just as workbooks have a picture of say 6 items and a place to write the number 6. He will get the point soon enough. In a instructional design class, I read that the mistake often made is teaching kids the numbers orally without ensuring that they understand that each number corresponds to one object. I hope that's understandable. Example of this might be a child not putting one number to each space they should be moving to on a game board. They will say the numbers in order and move the game piece, but they are not consistently landing on the next space. Your little guy is already ahead on that.
Also, kids have learning spurts. He'll be ready soon. While he may seem uninterested, just keep presenting the information a bit at a time. It will all kick in soon.
The limber letters I gave my great nephew for xmas have been a huge hit. He and his older brother are using them in numbers of ways to help with their schoolwork. And, the whole family spends time using them for games.
Thanks.
You are so welcome! I am so happy. I have been thinking lately I need to get some new games up here. If your great nephew has any fun games he has made up we would love to post them!
Also, thank you for the brilliant comment about numbers --- you are right, it is important that we teach them that those numbers they are repeating mean something!
The sandblasting machine can be defined as a process of cleaning and finishing of materials by the forceful direction of an abrasive media applied either dry or suspended in a liquid medium, against the surface of the workpiece.
Sandblasting is used most often to clean iron or steel surfaces. Other surfaces generally employed by sandblasting techniques include masonry (brick, stone, concrete, etc.), sand castings, aluminum, copper, brass, wood, glass, and plastic.
Sand Blasting Machine is the operation of forcefully propelling a stream of abrasive material upon a surface of the harsh subject under high pressure to smoothens a rough surface A fluid is pressurized by compressed air or a spiral wheel(turbine or motor). It is used to propel the blasting material to the subject.
This process mainly helps to limit damage and provide completion before the material is coated with a protective layer and for that this process becomes essential in all metallic structures before it undertakes to coat. There are various methods of abrasive cleaning but Sandblasting is the strongest method among them for cleaning metal surfaces. There are some other uses of this process like it is also used to create signage on wood and glass to give them an authentic look. This high-pressure machine is also used to burn sign on the cemetery monuments.
Application of Sandblasting Machine:
Clean a surface by removing unwanted rust, scale, paint, etc., in preparation for painting, anodizing, welding, or other processes that require a clean surface.
Deburr, remove tooling marks or differently finish a crude product.
Change metallurgical properties or stress relieve a part by the peening action of multiple impactions.
Produce the desired matte or decorative finish.
Provide an actual cutting or inscribing of partially masked parts, such as tombstones.
remove “flashing” (excess material) from formed plastic or rubber.
The lettering and impression on most modern cemetery stones and markers are created by abrasive sandblasting machine.
Sandblasting Machine package also be used to provide three-dimensional signage this type of signage is expected to be a higher-end product as compared to flat signs.
Sandblasting techniques are used for cleaning boat frames, as well as brick stone, and concrete work.
