A year ago, I wrote a blog about Bubs struggling with rhyming words. Fearing he would begin kindergarten still not hearing the rhyming sounds, we intentionally worked with fun words to help him hear the sounds. I was thrilled when Bubs' kindergarten teacher taught him a little rhyme to help. ____, _____ They both say _____. (clap) Here is ...
Impressing on Children
Forgiveness
I love the simplicity of this activity that I came up with to discuss forgiveness. This activity has been added to Week 8 of the 4 Year Curriculum's study of Joseph and Forgiveness. Gather black pompoms and print off the Heart Template. Discuss that sin is the bad choices we make. Sin is like black spots on our heart. Take turns naming a ...

Kindergarten Readiness

From your responses, I wanted to address three additional points which I have added to the post. "All of my child's friends are going to Kindergarten." - This is a statement that I hear a lot.

Is Your Child Ready for Kindergarten?
This is a question that I am very passionate about. What is your opinion about sending kids to kindergarten who have summer birthdays (or those who are close to the cutoff date)? As far as I know, every state has a cutoff birth date for children to begin kindergarten. The states I am familiar with place their cutoffs in August or September, ...
Mom Card or Poster
I was looking for an idea for the kids to do for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I didn't really find anything that I liked but somehow came up with this idea. The kids were able to do the majority of the craft by themselves and it allowed for scissor practice too! The word "MOM" is a palindromic word - a word that is spelled the same backwards ...
