Bear's Loose Tooth - Review

Bear's Loose Tooth by Karma Wilson is the story of a bear who looses a tooth for the time and how his friends help him deal with the wiggly, wobbly tooth.  

This story is sure to capture kids' attention and bring giggles and smiles as they listen to the story. My kids took it a step further and even decided to act out the story. I found this terrific as we were listening to the story in an audiobook format. 

The audiobook comes with two tracks:

1. The story is read all the way through. 

2. This time, there's a beep that signals page changes, which is useful when following along the book.

How to make a Smoothie

My kids and I have been on a smoothie kick for quick some time now. We have been trying different recipes and even coming up with our own. It's been so fun! I especially enjoy seeing the little green mustaches they get each time.  So special and rewarding to me because I know they are getting their full vegetable and fruit servings that they need to grow healthily. 

The fact that we make smoothies at home has been my inspiration to applying the concept as a writing prompt for our homeschool. 

To get the free printable, please click here to download How to Make a Smoothie. 

Let me know if you use the file in the comments. I look forward to hearing how it turned out for you!

Top 10 Snowman Crafts

My kids are all about snowmen these days because it reminds them of sweet Olaf.  So lately I have been searching for activities we can do at home that have a Snowman Theme. Here's what I've found. 

1. Snowman Letter Match 

I printed the free printable, pasted each sheet to cardstock for durability. You can also laminate each sheet as well.  This is a fun activity for learning capital and lowercase letters.  Original file found here.

2. Develop Fine Motor Skills making a Snowman with marshmallows. 

I found the original idea on Pinterest. The kids loved it! Basically, just draw the circles to make a snowman with glue. Then give the children marshmallows to put on the glue.  You could also use pieces of paper to glue. 

Then the children used sponges to pain falling snow.

Playing with Shapes

We decided to get the marshmallows and toothpicks out and start building with them. Kids made some shapes and then it turned into making anticuchos or bush-kabobs. These are some of the pictures I was able to take from their work.

Practicing Spanish Syllables sa-se-si-so-su

We have been working on learning to read different words begin with the sa-se-si-so-su Spanish syllable.  I've found a few printables online that have been very helpful while in the process of introducing, recognizing, and raising phonological awareness with these syllables.  

The following is an activity I created for my Kindergartener who is currently learning to read in Spanish and English.  

This activity is great for:

• Reading in Spanish
• Practice reading words that begin in sa-se-si-so-su
• Practice sentence structure 
• Review vocabulary 

Directions: 

1. Print your pdf copy.  Click here for file.
2. Cut the words in the boxes and tell students to arrange the words in the correct order. 
3. Write the complete sentence in the space provided.
4. Color the picture if desired.
