My boys are crazy about Monsters.
I’m not sure why but they love creepy, goopy, slimy looking creatures, but they do.
Monsters can be cute too though right?
My four year old drew these silly Monster Brothers and I thought they were absolutely adorable.
(Side Note: Scan your children’s artwork into your computer to save them)
I was also to happy to find these Silly Wacky Monsters from Daily Art Hub because I knew they would make for some adorable games and worksheets!
Use this worksheet to reinforce key number bonds that make 10. Children can use counters to cover the monsters while they compute the equations.
This is a great game to play with children who are learning number bonds that add up to 10. Children choose a wheel and then find the correct second wheel to solve the equation.

Word families are words that have the same ending sound, “back,” “sack,” and “rack” are all in the “ack” word family.
Teaching children to listen to ending sounds and rhyming words is a great way to build early reading skills.

Well, my kindergartner is finally ready to start talking without all those slurred S sounds.
(I may not be ready for it, but he certainly is)
Personally, I think it is adorable when he says “Pagetti” instead of spaghetti and “Tooter” instead of scooter.
But alas, he is nearing 6 years old and it’s time to provide some gentle guidance towards correct pronunciation.
I made this letter S blends learning game specifically for him :)
The game comes with twenty-eight different pictures of letter s consonant blends for children to match up with the correct beginning letters.

Monkey is 2 1/2 and in full on TOT mode.
Which means he wants to do “school” like his older siblings,
but he has the attention span of a…
Well…….
of a Monkey
But he absolutely MUST be keep busy.
As we all know
That if we don’t keep little Monkey busy,
He’ll keep himself busy…..
and then we’ll all be busy
So here is one way that we keep little Monkey busy:
I made the game using Jolanthe’s beautiful Color Matching Cards
and then laminating pieces of colored paper onto which I wrote the color names.
In hindsight, I should have written the Spanish words on the back as well.
We play by drawing a card and matching it to the correct pile.
Simple. But Busy.
Very, Very Busy.
It actually took me quite a while to decide on what to do for science.
And I still don’t know what we’ll be doing for the ENTIRE year,
but I’ve finally got a good handle on the first few weeks!
I looked a a whole bunch of curriculum, but one day I was walking through
a bookstore and I spotted this:
Children’s Human Body Encyclopedia
The price was $9. and somewhere the frugal homeschooler
in me was inspired.
I had been looking at $30-$50 curriculum
and I just couldn’t resist the under $10 appeal…
I bought two of them, one for Sissy and one for Bubba.
(This will be our first year where each child has the same text book!)
I figured we’d just go through each topic together,
reading out of the text, and I’d supplement with our
own discussions (about God’s design) and our own
crafts and activities.
Later on I found these little gems to add to our Science Curriculum:
My First Human Body Activity Book
(This has amazing coloring pages of body systems)
My Body
This book has reproducible patterns you can use to make
you’re own life size human body diagram.
(I got this one as an e-book)
So using these resources we’re going to be making a Human Body Science journal!
Starting off with SKIN!!
We’ve had a blast reading all about our skin,
and the kids have been loving all the different activities we’ve been
doing alongside them. We do science two days a week,
so over the last two weeks we had quite of bit of fun things to
add to our Science Journals.
I posted all of our activities and links to what we did on our main site,
but here’s a sneak peek at a few projects:
Come take a second to see the rest of our skin activities!
Oh, and if you see a little blue pencil in the title of the activity,
it’s something that can be added into your science journal!
Hopefully the ideas will inspire you to make you’re own journals!
And Stay Tuned……next up is the Human Brain!!
