Word Families

So I can't claim this idea. I got it off of www.pinterest.com. But we tried it and its a huge success. My youngest daughter loved the fact that it was Easter Eggs and we are keeping them in an Easter basket. I have a long list of word families that we will keep adding once we master these really good. This has taken the place of our "sight word flashcards" for this week. We're ahead of the game compared to our public schools around here, so we're going to take a break on the flashcards and do these word family eggs to make sure we have got it down. My youngest daughter loves turning the eggs to make a new word and she's helping me do the eggs as well. So she loves trying to make the words.





We may even get creative with them and fit an egg hunt into this, especially around Easter time. AN EGG HUNT WAS HER IDEA...so we we will see how it develops. I'm just excited that she's excited about it.

BLOG UPDATE:WORD FAMILY CHARTS <--------- These are the word family charts that I used.

I decided to do solar bracelets this time!

Behavior Chart

I found a behavior chart image online that I really liked because it detailed, but I couldn't find a website to print one. So I made my own. I did this in photoshop and if you would like to print one for yourself you can here . After I printed it, I hung it in a picture frame and can use dry erase markers to check off.

Where's the line to see Jesus?

My eight year old has discovered the truth about Santa. "He's not REAL!" is what she keeps arguing with my six year old. This morning, Ashlyn, my youngest and I were up all alone in the house and she came to sit on my lap and just flat out asked me, "Is he real, Mommy?" We didn't want to force this question from her, because we've wanted to let her have her childhood and pretend. Well, when she came up and asked it - I had no choice to tell her the truth. And this is what I told her... "His name was Nicholas, and we call him St. Nicholas, because saint means someone who belongs to God, just like we do. In St. Nicholas' town there were many poor children. They didn't have enough food, clothes, or toys. St. Nicholas used his money to buy food, clothes, and toys for the poor children. He didn't want them to be embarrassed by his gifts, so he gave secretly." "St. Nicholas also told everyone about Jesus and how much God loved
