A couple weeks back, we had our farm theme in PreK. One of the books I used was “Sheep In A Jeep” by Nancy Shaw (Amazon link here). While I was researching ideas on Pinterest (where else?) to use with this book, I saw this craft, which inspired this idea to make a jeep to use in speech to go… Read More
Movin’ Mondays: Putting Out Fires!
October 6-12 is Fire Safety Week, so I thought I’d share a fire-themed activity we did in speech where the kids were up and moving. I cut out a bunch of flames and taped them around the room– on doors, windows, cabinets, etc… I used this activity for my artic kids.. I had them say 2 of their speech words… Read More

A lot of my little ones… Read More
Lovin’ Legos®!

I played with them ALL the time as a kid and had my own Lego® table that had an opening with a mesh bag attached to it in the center to store all my Legos®. My husband and I spent last Christmas Eve watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation while assembling… Read More
