It’s that time of year for all of those fresh, local berries and goodies! We have been visiting our local farmer’s market each week and each week I am so thankful that there are gardeners far better than I. This also means that we have been getting oodles of those green plastic baskets too.

Calendar Activities

October 26, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

We are into our second week of homeschool and so far, so good! We have actually been so very busy with lessons, sessions, and activities with our co-op that I think we will have to cut a few things out. After all, we must be at home sometimes to in fact homeschool. But anyways, things…

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We began exploring the idea of tally marks this week and opted to use sticks. A super simple way to play with this concept and you quite likely have them available to you. I will share some games we played and ideas for…
