My son likes the countdown…five, four, three, two, ONE!!!! While my daughter prefers the count up…. one, two, THREE!!!! Either way, the excitement and joyful…

Memorizing addition facts is one of the building blocks of elementary math. My girls are always working on them. It’s not always the most fun thing to do, but the more you know your facts, the easier math will be in late elementary and beyond. We’ve burnt out on flash cards. And honestly, if you’ve got…
I Spy. Those two little words have filled endless hours of my children’s lives. Starting with hours of waiting in pediatrician’s offices with bored toddlers while we assessed why my oldest two daughters had rashes every other day (seriously, in one span we were in the doctor’s office twice a week for about 4 months!), then…

Because Shiloh does not understand abstract concepts, it’s very important that we teach counting with hands-on activities. These free printable…

In my mind, fall practically begs for an indoor day with a pot of simmering chili, apple crisp, and scarecrow crafts with the kids. Here’s a fun Cut-and-Paste…
