Reading fluency and practice can be fun with a great theme. These apple themed CVC words are great for practicing reading with a fun, hands on approach. I love watching kids learn to read but there is no doubt that teaching a child to read can be frustrating. After they develop the understanding of how…
Make learning fractions with these fun apple fractions pages. Fractions can be a game for kids so they’ll want to learn and practice more.Oh fractions, how I do not envy you. Is it just me or are fractions a common enemy? That don’t follow the rules as easily as other math concepts we learn. But…
Pumpkin season is full swing. The manager at our grocery store told me it’s time to start stocking up on canned pumpkin because there will be a shortage. Pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere. We even had pumpkin spice donut holes at Dunkin Donuts (they were absolutely amazing too). It just doesn’t feel like fall so…
Logi-Bear is just delving into the concept of place value and I’m finding that extra practice with it is very very helpful. He has accepted that when you are counting and hit a 9, you move up to the next 10. But I’m not convinced he understands why. We’re working with LEGO Place Value a…
Logi-Bear is starting to learn some more diverse methods of addition and subtraction and I’m trying to keep up with him. He is a motivated learner and just does not need much instruction. But I have fun making things so I do. I’m hoping this hands on pumpkin number line will grab his attention! …
It does not feel like fall here. Not even close. We don’t really get fall at all but I feel like it’s time to start celebrating the leaves changing, pumpkins, and snuggling on the couch. So these fall beginning sounds cards are helping me to get into the fall mood. Logi-Bear is my last child…
It’s officially time to get ready for fall. Which apparently means everything pumpkin. Now, I love pumpkin spice lattes as much as the next person, but I do have my pumpkin limits. This adorable pumpkin time telling clocks were not past my limit though. Let’s face it, learning to read analog clocks is not the…
My kids hate analog clocks. Truly despise. We honestly just don’t even work on that anymore. While I can see it’s importance, the amount they dislike those clocks makes it not worth it. But we were working on calculating how much time has passed, and it’s just easier with these clocks. It’s so much easier…
Royal (7) hit multiplication in our math curriculum and shut down immediately. He thought it was too hard, too early, and he would never get it. I didn’t know someone could have such strong emotions over something they have never tried to do before! He’s even seen Times Tales and picked up some multiplication facts….
For the longest time, 10 Apples Up On Top has been one of Logi-Bear’s favorite books. I have it memorized (and then some. I could have memorized it in another language at this point). All in all, it’s not a bad story. Just very repetitive. I do believe in the importance of repetition in books…
I love fall, which is rather unfortunate because we don’t have fall in Arizona. However, I’m not past making my own fall through crafts and fun activities! So the idea behind this printable is to sound out the pictures on the leaves and match them to the correct word ending. It’s a practice in…
