    Fun and Colourful Parts of a Fish Activity Sheets

    June 28, 2021 / No Comments

    Have you ever been fishing? One of my kids LOVES to go fishing, so chances are good we will do that at some point this simmer. Whether you are a skilled angler or starting out, the parts of a fish are important to know. In school when studying science and life cycles, you might come across a fish related activity or learning unit. There’s so much to learn about animals, insects and fish and there are so many fun ways to make those lessons resonate with kids. When I was in school, I did several life cycle assignments and ecosystem assignments involving collecting tadpoles and more. One year we did…

    Take the 1,000 Minute Reading Challenge

    June 21, 2021 / No Comments

    When I was a child I could spend hours upon hours reading. I consumed novels in the summer as if they were food and they kind of were. In summer as a child I had all the time in the world just to read. In school, I loved a good reading challenge too. Summer Slump This summer, when the kids are home you can encourage their love of reading with this cute little 1,000 Minute Reading Challenge. Don’t let summer slide or summer slump claim too many of the kid’s brain cells this year or any year. What are You Reading? What kinds of books are your kids interested in?…

    Horse Life Cycle Learning Games Booklet

    February 26, 2021 / No Comments

    What do you know about the horse life cycle? What do your kids know about horses? This horse life cycle learning kit is four pages and it might help reinforce a love of literacy while nurturing compassion for living things in general. My daughter rides horses and she has a passion for them. She’s been riding at Sari Therapy Riding since she was about 5 or 6 and she’s 16 now. She looks forward to doing this weekly and knows a lot more about horses than I ever have in my entire life. She has done summer camps that involve horseback riding and therapeutic riding lessons as well as dressage. In the…

    January 13, 2021 / No Comments

    What do mountains, peninsulas, lakes and wetlands have in common? Take a moment to think about it. That’s right, they are all landforms. Right now, as the summer trails off and closes in on fall I thought it might be a good time to share these free landforms flash cards. Remember Being a Small Bean in a Huge World? Last week, while visiting my brother and his family at a cottage in Sauble Beach I listened to his adorable kids, my niece and nephew refer to Lake Huron as a river, or the ocean. That simple childhood slip reminded me of being small and that period of time during your…

Keep Them Entertained and Learning Right now, with a return to school still a bit uncertain and summer in full glow, you might be hunting for ways to engage the kids in educational activities. I don’t know about your children, but mine have always loved hands on kinaesthetic learning. It’s simply how my kids learn best. They are hands on and visual as well. Auditory is lower down on the list for my kids anyways. So, if you want them to retain something, often that requires…

    Germany Colouring and Printing Book

    Let’s play five things you didn’t know about me. One. I am afraid of snakes. They creep me out big time. Two. I grew up in Guelph with my Mom and brother. We were a tiny family of three. Three. I didn’t take my first trip by plane until I was about 23. I paid for it myself and went to Margarita Island in Venezuela for spring break with several girlfriends. Four. My Mom grew up in England. Five. My Dad’s family came from Germany. Enjoy this adorable Germany colouring and printing book for kids. I’ve never been to either England or Germany, but I genuinely need to visit both…

    In May of this year my oldest daughter and I will travel to Greece for the first time ever. We are beyond stoked. It is her last year of high school and she literally just a few days ago got accepted into university. Her first choice for the subject she wants! Can’t wait to celebrate that in Greece.

    Sign Language Flash Cards and Memory Game

    Use these Sign Language Flash Cards and Memory Game to nurture a love of languages this year. These are perfect for any age. I have been a language lover from the time I was young. At about 7 years old I wrote a booklet with a male classmate. It was grade two, I think, and we made a big splash with our words and storytelling and I knew pretty much from that age that I’d be a writer in some capacity. In those early days language and learning and words were everything to me. Family too, of course. Things haven’t really changed that much in that regard. My kids are…

    At some point during your child’s school years they will start learning about the food chain. That also means learning about environment and geography to some degree.
