Thanksgiving SuDoKu Logic Games for Kids

We threw out our first pumpkin today. Arizona weather is not kind to any living thing, including pumpkins.  I was so excited for the holiday season that I bought a pumpkin the second I saw them out.  And as a result, we’ve already had to throw out our first pumpkin.  It reminded me of how…

Silly Thanksgiving Digraph Easy Reader Printable

Do you ever feel like your kids need a small review of previous lessons?  I was reading with Royal the other day and he just plain forgot what sound -sh makes.  He’s a great reader so I was a bit confused.  I think he might have been having a brain fart, if you will, but…

Gobble Gobble: Turkey Spin a Sight Word Printables

What do you do with a child who thinks reading is amazing, pretends to read constantly, yet isn’t quite ready for sounding out words? You teach them sight words! I’m pretty much on board with teaching phonics and that’s how we taught both Royal and Baloo, primarily. We limit sight words and push through with…

Turkey Number Sense for Fun Preschool Math

Learning math is really a series of understanding numbers and how they relate to each other, right?  There are some people who just ‘see’ the patterns in numbers and it clicks.  But I don’t think they just “see it”. I think they are taught in a way that promotes understanding of umbers and math and…

The Sorting Turkey

Turkey’s are just too much fun.  There are endless options for turkey crafts, activities, etc.  I love turkeys! This year we decided to do a sorting turkey.  I cut out the turkey body and feathers.  Then I added shapes to each feather.  I did either one, two, or three of each shape.  Then we had…
