Something you may not know about me is that I absolutely loathe spiders. We have a pet snake and that doesn't bother me, but when I see a big spider, I start to freak out. Just ask my sons, who recently videotaped me when I saw a big spider crawl across our kitchen floor! Even though I hate spiders, I actually love cute spider crafts. Today I have an easy spider door hanger craft that is perfect to do around Halloween or really any time of the year! Materials for Spider Door Hanger … [Read more...]

Jack-O-Lantern Printable Shape Activity

by Rachael Alley 1 Comment

Life since our school kicked off this year has been busy, to say the least. I have a 3rd grader this year and for some reason, the pressure on myself has set in for “serious” school. I realize it is self-inflicted, but with the content that I want to cover, I was feeling neglectful towards my littles (my Kindergartener and Preschooler). There has been a week here and there where I just haven’t had the one-on-one time I want with them, and my glorious plans for themes have already been thrown out … [Read more...]

Learning the alphabet can be easy for some kids, but more challenging for others. The English alphabet comprises forty different shapes and that’s a lot for kids to learn! Some letters have multiple sounds, are harder to recognize or learn to write and need more time on it. Most kids can recognize O, B, X, and A, but when it comes to lowercase letters b and d, it’s more challenging. Today I'm sharing a resource for teaching tricky letters. It's also a fun activity for Halloween! This … [Read more...]

The first page is all about sight. The goal is to find all 10 items as you go for a walk or look around your neighborhood. The … [Read more...]
