Time for some football…and math 🙂 I’ll be honest with you, I am definitely not watching the game today. I’m just not that into it. At all. I’d much rather be crafting or home preschool planning or teaching. To satisfy my dorky desires I decided to go on an activity spree (two hours before kick…

One Fish, Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish! The first book I thought of when I first saw these little pasta fish shapes was Dr. Seuss’ classic One Fish, Two Fish story. Since Read Across America day is only a month away, I thought I’d share this little activity for anyone looking to add some…

“I’m Bored…” It’s the middle of winter and I feel like I’ve heard this phrase one too many times from my boys. Ever since we moved, my kids (who are used to playing outside all day every day), have been cooped up indoors due to blizzards and frigid (sub-zero) temperatures. I think they may be…
