Nifty resource


In the birthday report, I shared that we purchased a book titled Annie and the Wild Animals. I bought it because I loved the illustrations. Tonight, while searching for some flashcards and coloring sheets to help Juliana with her numbers, I found that the illustrator, Jan Brett, graciously shares her artwork on-line. You can find days of the week coloring sheets, numbers trace alongs, the whole alphabet to color and trace and a lot more.

If you are home-schooling, you want these. Even if you are not home-schooling, these are a delightful way to augment whatever is happening at preschool or kindergarten.

We are officially starting to homeschool on Friday, December 1. We'll start opening the advent calendar and do everything around the number 1 and the letter A on Friday. I just can't resist matching the curriculum to the calendar.

I love Jan Brett. What a great resource. I might take up homeschooling next year if we end up moving to a place with bad schools. We will see. Thanks for the tip.

What a great idea to start with Advent! The kids are just going to eat the learning up!

Wow--homeschooling is a big commitment. Is this something you plan to continue long-term?
