Those of you that have been following for awhile have surely heard about my constant quest to slow down and focus on what matters! You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging since our move this spring. I have a million excuses, but basically it comes down to focusing my energy on what's most important at the moment. I appreciate all of my readers, and hope to someday soon be able to focus on blogging again. In the meantime, here are some of our highlights from the past year.
As my son was learning to read this year we did lots of
fun sight word activities! A very popular post was our
Sight Word Garden.
A year later we still enjoy our beautiful flowers, and use them regularly to practice new sight words.
Thanks to our
Writing Center, my son was able to develop a love of writing. We have made several friends very happy by gifting them their own writing writing centers and
art centers. We used the supplies in our centers to create this
fun color book.
We
loved owls even before they were so trendy! These
owl pillows were easy for the kids to make and could be adapted to any theme.
I love to come up with new ways to play with toys that we already have. When I was trying to come up with new (non-destructible) tot school games for my daughter, I posted a bunch of
fun ways to play with your chunky puzzle pieces! Her favorite was when I tossed a sheep puzzle piece in a bag. I shook
it while saying “baa, baa, what’s trying to get out of the bag?”
We have been trying to teach my daughter the letters in her name. Her favorite activity so far was this
do-a-dot art project, and it looks so cute on her bedroom door!
