letter Sounds and Recognition

G didn’t go to prek and neither does M so I have tried to make sure we do all the things at home to get them ready for kindergarten. G is doing great at school. We absolutely love her school.…

Garage Organization

AHHH RUN AWAY! but not really. We have a barely 2 car garage. Like it fits 2 sedans. Don’t think about getting more than one car in there if you have an SUV. We, also, have a ton of equipment…

Dot Stickers

I have probably written 10 posts on Dot Stickers at this point but I legit love them. I keep some in my backpack with some paper and crayons. That way I always have a quick activity. Today we went to…

Egg Beginning Sound

We did this cut and paste. It was a success. G is getting really quick with matching beginning sounds. I did help her out some by dividing the pictures up by page. She tends to get overwhelmed still when she…

Word Family Legos

G has been super interested in reading lately so I have been trying to come up with lots of ways to help her. For CVC words she seems to do better with putting the last 2 letters together then adding…
