We go to the library about twice a month to pick up our allotted 20 books. I have to admit that about 50% of those books are not very good. 40% of them are okay. 9% are really fun. But then that 1% happens and you find a book that you really like! The Cow Who Clucked by Denise Fleming was that book this time. We had so much fun reading this book. I ...

Drawings
Bubs has never liked to draw. Up until a couple of days ago, if you asked him to draw something, he scribbled. I looked in the magazines that we receive and saw these great pictures that kids Bubs' age drew. I knew that the problem stemmed back to his fine motor skills but we had to turn the tide. Along with the Visual Perception Activities ...

Book: Big Thoughts for Little People
In Sept 2009, I raved about the updated version of the book Big Thoughts for Little People. I finally got it added to the 4 Year Curriculum. The book does not contain pages numbers but instead is lettered A-Z. Each letter of the alphabet contains a Biblical concept. There are questions that cover the reading and ask the child to ...
Magazine: Clubhouse Jr.
Clubhouse Jr. Magazine My mom purchased Clubhouse Jr for the kids a few months ago. Published by Focus On The Family, this magazine has been around since I was a child. For ages 3-7, my kiddos fall right into this category. I have to say that the first two issues we received were disappointing. A lot of the magazine ...
How Will We Get to the Beach?

I would rather consider this book an evaluating and thinking book. Roxanne decided that she is going to go to the beach. She wants to take five things with her. She runs into ...
