Coding is a skill that now bridges many different fields and career paths, from IT to art careers. Basically, coding is a worthwhile venture. Now pair that with kids who love all things technological and…
It’s time for more Minecraft multiplication printables! We all want our kids to enjoy schoolwork, right? But sometimes it’s not 100% possible. We all will be faced with something in life that we don’t really want to do but it ultimately good for us. Like practicing math facts. So I just do my best to…
Minecraft is absolutely the best educational motivator in our house. So I’m always ready to include a bit more Minecraft in our lessons. It’s only natural that we’d eventually get to more Minecraft multiplication since the Minecraft Multiplication Game went over so well! Minecraft No Prep Pack This pack in no prep, which is my…
I love introducing my kids to new science concepts and words. Reading Zoey and Sassafras is a great way to find those concepts and learn about them in a meaningful way. Sometimes we need a bit of extra reinforcement to remember the new words, which is why I wanted to make these crosswords and word…

We are coming to the end of our ‘learning to read’ phase but we have been in this phase for a good amount of time – probably 6 or 7 years! It’s such a magical and frustrating period of time, but so totally worth it. I hope this list of 100 learning to read printables…
Handwriting isn’t the most exciting task for most kids. I know my kids have never taken to handwriting practice and it definitely wasn’t my favorite as a kid. But there were times that I was motivated to write – like when it was fun! I remember a lot of fun writing projects (and probably forgot…
