Counting Mat Fun Free Printable for Veterans Day

ByErin November 5, 2016January 4, 2020

I swell with pride for my husband whenever Veteran’s Day arrives. He’s really not that into having a day as he feels it was more his duty to serve than some amazing feat. Either way though, I’m proud. And I want my kids to be proud, too! So we try to do at least a…

Hands On Map Unit for Mastering Maps

ByErin November 4, 2016January 4, 2020

Do you remember taking geography classes as a kid? What do you remember from those classes? The population of Russia? Who fought on which side on what war? Which country technically holds claim to Santa’s workshop? (I’ve been told it’s Canada…for now) I remember approximately none of it. What I do remember is the names…

Fun Dinosaur ABC Order Practice

ByErin November 1, 2016January 4, 2020

Am I the only one who has to sing nearly the entire ABCs to figure out ABC Order sometimes? No, just me? For some reason, a lot of those letters are jumbled up in my brain. Especially j-n. I have to sing it every time for those letters. I’m not sure if practice would help…

ByErin October 31, 2016August 15, 2023

Sometimes my kids think school is boring. Not always and not every lesson but overall, they’ve come to think of school as boring. And I hate that for them! Learning shouldn’t be boring! I’m not sure exactly where we are going wrong but I know that introducing more fun activities is going to…

Winter Themed Math – Beginners Fractions

ByErin October 30, 2016January 11, 2020

I have on clear memory of learning math as a child. And it was when I had failed my first math test. It wasn’t actually even a test, it was an assessment to get into the gifted program that I was already in. But we had to retest every six weeks. I hadn’t just failed…

Wintery Number Sense Fun with Snowflake Puzzles

ByErin October 29, 2016March 3, 2024

“One-ty one, one-ty two, one-ty three”. Yes, we renamed the teen numbers to be more in line with the rest of the numbers. And it sounds so weird. But it makes so much more sense. I could see the frustration all over Logi-Bear’s face. His eyes would well up with tears and he would clench…

Thanksgiving SuDoKu Logic Games for Kids

ByErin October 28, 2016January 4, 2020

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

ByErin October 27, 2016January 4, 2020

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…

No Prep Candy Corn Multiplication Pack

ByErin October 26, 2016January 4, 2020

Years and years ago, Baloo asked me to make addition with candy corn so I did, and he loved it. Its one of those things that we pull out every single year and enjoy. Royal and Logi-Bear love it now too, but Baloo is well beyond that. But he still loves Candy Corn (he’s crazy, although I…

We have a tradition on Thanksgiving where I print out activities (like this Thanksgiving Addition Game) and the boys have something to entertain them for that hectic 15 minutes while we are finishing the food and putting it on the table.
