Easter Egg Name Puzzles
Another holiday approaching means another name puzzle on the blog! I will do a round up once I have finished my first year of blogging with all of our name puzzles – like this Christmas tree one, and the Halloween pumpkin. For our Easter name puzzle I took some inspiration from Hands on as we…
STEPPING Up the Reading!
Oh exciting things are happening in this house of ours — Sammy is starting to read. As a teacher, I just love this stage of child development. He knows all his sounds and blends and he is starting to sound out words all on his own. He is so excited about it, he is ready…
