It am truly so fortunate to have wonderful people who the love children in my class and who are willing to come and read and spend some time with them. Grandma Main is a blessing to us. Right before Spring Break (and I mean like hours before Spring Break started --note the state of my room in the pictures as evidence), she decided to come back to our class and do an encore reading performance for us. In December she visited as a Snowman. This time she came as a dolphin. She may ... VIEW POST

Deal Me In . . .
I decided a long time ago that you’re either born with the card-playing gene or you are not. While my family played boardgames, we weren't much on playing with a deck of cards. So when I married into my husband's card-playing family, I quickly was schooled in the finer strategies and rules of their favorite games. Fast forward ahead three little boys later, and I soon discover that not just one, but all three of them have inherited their fathers card gene. Yep! They're all ... VIEW POST
Sensory Table Polar Love
My kiddos are deep in love with polar animals these days. You know how they love jumping nonsense word icebergs with their little penguin and polar bear, right?
