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…

Free Thanksgiving Addition Game – Turkey Trot Addition

ByErin October 26, 2016January 4, 2020

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. The challenge for me is to create something that is entertaining enough that they…

Hands On Measuring Fun with Thanksgiving Measuring Set

ByErin October 24, 2016January 4, 2020

Have you ever thought about how arbitrary measurements are? I find it kind of interesting that we use systems of measurement every day but they’re really just standardized systems we made up! Of course, it makes sense to have a standardized system. I still remember the first time I realized that humans made up our…

Turkey Digraph Sort: Gobble Up Reading Fun

ByErin October 23, 2016January 4, 2020

When learning to read, it’s all about the tricks. They’re not really tricks, of course, more like little chunks of information to build upon. Digraphs are a chunk of their own, and quite an important chunk! After all, if you don’t learn that ‘sh’ doesn’t say sss-ha, you’ll never be able to figured out that…

Gobble Gobble: Turkey Spin a Sight Word Printables

ByErin October 22, 2016January 4, 2020

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

ByErin November 19, 2015November 4, 2023

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

ByErin November 25, 2013November 24, 2013

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…

Tt is for Turkey – Tot and PreK Round Up

ByErin November 24, 2013November 24, 2013

There have been a LOT of changes in our household recently. We finally back in our own place and not living with family (how lucky we are to have such supportive family! It’s nice to be back in our own place though). We have all of our school supplies back which has been a lot…

Thankful Acrostic Poems

ByErin November 11, 2013November 12, 2016

November is all about being thankful, right? It’s the month we’ve dedicated to remembering everything we appreciate, all the people in our lives we love, and things we think we cannot live without (ahem, pumpkin spice lattes…) I think the first step to raising kids who are not full of the entitlement attitude that has…
