Logi-Bear is proving just how different kids can be. Baloo was my first ever encounter with teaching kids to read and he just picked it up one day. It was seriously like he couldn’t read one day and the next he could. Royal took the opposite approach and learned a tiny bit every day and…
I absolutely cannot believe this is it for this set. Altogether, I do have some extras planned so this isn’t really “it”. But 26 packs done!! I love finishing big projects like this. There is something very satisfying about it! I hope everyone has enjoyed, and continues to enjoy, learning cursive with these packs! …
The boys are super into dinosaurs so I really wanted to impress on them how long ago dinosaurs lived, how long they lived for, and for how short a time humans have actually been on this earth. I really like the idea of timelines and had planned to make one for all the history of…
Dinosaurs are IN right now. And as such, everything we are doing is dinosaur right now. Dinosaur math. Dinosaur ABCs. Dinosaur play. Dinosaur excavating. Dinosaurs have been a major theme that comes into and out of our lives regularly. Baloo, at 13, still enters dinosaur phases every now and again. So naturally Logi-Bear needed a…
Memorizing math facts is a big deal in our house right now. It seems like everyone is working on something different. So we are using a lot of different methods for memorizing these facts – mostly games. They love playing the games the first few times, but then tire of them. So we are playing…

We were going over lowercase g this week and Logi-Bear flipped it upside and said it looks like an a. And I have to say, it kind of does!! So now he calls lowercase g an upside down a. Convincing him otherwise might be difficult (he still calls ‘m’ an upside down w sometimes). …

Included in the calendar set Large Calendar Cards Small Calendar Cards PreK Calendar Notebook Pages Lower Elementary Notebook…
We’ve been practicing a LOT of addition facts. I’m of the belief that having memorized basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts simply makes life easier. But we don’t drill because that’s boring and not the most effective method. Nope, we don’t drill. We play games. Lots of games. Board games are popular with the…
Logi-Bear and I took a bit of a break from the Do a Dot stuff. Frankly, just a LOT of other stuff going on. And he’s taken interest in other ways of learning ABCs so I’ve been trying to kind of follow his lead. But anyway, back to the do a dot stuff. In…
I remember my mom making this for me when I was a kid and she just recently made them for my kids. They are in love! Of course Royal wanted to make this for the Kids Favorite for the Kids Kitchen Monthly Blog Hop! It’s so good I couldn’t say no. This recipe is…
