A phonics matching game & our new activity/pocket chart

The first thing I've will share is a phonics matching game that I've been working on for a month or so... I printed all the pics, colored them, pasted on construction paper and then laminated. My niece Shelby helped by making matching alphabet cards for sorting. They are just double sided note cards with scrap booking letters glued on.

The other thing we're excited to start using is our new activity/pocket chart. My fantastic step dad, Dean, who is a school teacher had this laying around collecting dust- so he graciously gave it to us. I have already made sentences for learning Maddy's full name, phone number and home address. She will love working on these things with our new chart.

I can't wait to show photos of us using these in action cause we plan to use them A LOT!

Catch up and creating stuff

Has it really been over a month since my last post? Well, in my defense May is a crazy month for us, several birthday's, mothers day, and a holiday weekend. Can you blame a girl for being absent minded? But I haven't been slacking off, I've been creating several new learning toys and getting school stuff together and home organizational stuff. This summer is set to be a lot of fun- Maddy is very active in dance class and gymnastics class. We are finishing up her first year of soccer (possibly her last, haha). So here's some stuff I've been working on:
- Home chores/ homeschool prep chart
- Popsicle stick counting
- Phonics matching
- Bead counting in ice cube trays
- Our daily board and Calendar
- Our library area
- New to us pocket activity chart

I will follow up in individual posts for these things so it's not overload.

Basically, we're still alive and thriving, God is so good and we are beyond blessed in our happiness.
