Well friends, here at our house Kindergarten Kiddo is on Spring Break, which means that there are a lot of hours in the day to fill. As an only child, Kiddo has had plenty of practice in the art of occupying herself, but as the days at home stretch on, she inevitably turns to one of the grown-ups in the house for entertainment. Next up: "Sum Swamp" by Learning Resource. Check ou...

Last night we had our good friends Ruth and Jim over to our place for dinner. Kindergarten Kiddo spent the better part of the afternoon performing her duties as the table setter. This is a job that she takes very seriously, especially when we are expecting company. Ere’s what she came up with:. Creating menus is a great way for your Kiddo to practice his or her writing.

In today’s post I want to share with you some of Kindergarten Kiddos favorite card games. First up: Old Maid. For some reason this card game never fails to delight Kiddo. I started manipul...

Ellie Raises A Reader: Library Day #2

http://ellieraisesareader.blogspot.com/2012/03/library-day-2.html

Ellie Raises A Reader. One Mom's daily account of her family's reading life. Friday, March 16, 2012. While I do endeavor to teach Kindergarten Kiddo to practice restraint in most things, checking out books from the library is not one of them; which explains this:.

Ellie Raises A Reader. One Mom's daily account of her family's reading life. Sunday, March 25, 2012. One Hit Wonders #1. I was born smack dab in the middle of the 1970’s and grew up as a child of the 1980’s. I’m sure that many of you reading this right now are conjuring up favorite books from your 80’s childhood – something by Shel Silverstein. 8230;or maybe Judy Blume. Well, not me. All of the books that I remember best from childhood were written in the 1960’s. I don’t recall ever actually readin...

I’m an educator, avid reader, and a Mom who is raising her reader in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
