2017 is almost done! It is almost 2018 and I feel like the end of 2017 flew by! First, I would like to thank everyone who followed along with me as we went through the themes this year. Second, I want to apologize for completely slacking at the end of the year and not posting the themes (more on that in just a bit). I truly appreciate everyone who followed along, tagged photos on Facebook and Instagram for me to see, and reached out to me with feedback! It can be a lonely world on this side of the computer screen when I create theRead More →
Now that Easter is over and kids have baskets of candy at home, I thought it would be a great time to do a dental health week. What are cavities? How can we keep our teeth clean?

Pumpkins are one of the most iconic squashes of fall. We have all sorts of fun activities planned that will help us explore the pumpkin and everything about it. You are going to need fresh pumpkins for many of the activities planned this week. Some activities require the use of pumpkin seeds, so be sure to keep a close eye on little ones as pumpkin seeds can pose a choking hazard. Note: This theme will focus on pumpkins as a plant and we will save all things “jack-o-lantern” for our Halloween Theme.Read More →
Can you believe it is only a few weeks away from Halloween?! We have lots of Halloween type themes coming up starting with this cute monster theme. Monsters can be scary for younger children, so this theme will help them see how funny looking they can be. Lots of color and number recognition skills will be reinforced with this theme. Hope your little monsters have fun with these activities!Read More →
With fall quickly approaching, trees are beginning to change colors and will soon drop their leaves. Trees are very beautiful this time of year which makes it the perfect time to really focus and learn about trees. While we will focus on trees in the fall and the changing colors of the leaves, we will talk about how a tree changes throughout the seasons, as well as talk about trees that don’t change colors, like evergreens. Have fun!Read More →
I love it when the seasons change. As much as I enjoyed the summer, I am ready for a change in weather. In this theme we will learn about fall/autumn. There is so much to learn about during fall that I have broken it up into several different themes throughout the month. So, if you favorite fall themed activity is not featured this week (like leaf rubbings) it is probably because I am saving that activity for another week (like the tree theme for next week). Have fun and enjoy the weather change!Read More →

This will probably be a good week to make sure you have plenty of real apples on hand because many of the activities will be using them. Have fun!Read More →
