Giveaway #2

This is the second giveaway I have for the Curriculum Clean-Out hosted by Jolanthe over at Homeschool Creations. I am doing 2 giveaways so be sure to check them both out. 

More Story Stretchers by Shirley C. Raines and Robert J. Canady gives ideas of things to do with children based on some very good books. I was given this when I was student teaching.  I have used some of the things in it but am trying to pass on things that I no longer need or use.   It has 90 different books in 18 categories such as Families, Friends, Plants, Colors, Classics and more.  It is full of fun activities to make literature come alive to your preschooler.

If you would like to win, leave a comment on this post.  For a second entry follow my blog and leave a comment telling me you did. 

This giveaway is up to US Residents only and will end on Sunday, May 1st at 10 pm.  

I will use random.org to pick a winner.  Make sure you leave a way for me to contact you.

Giveaway #1

I am participating in the Curriculum Clean-Out hosted by Jolanthe over at Homeschool Creations. I am doing 2 giveaways so be sure to check them both out. 

These are new-never used preschool books. I gave some of these away in the fall because I had two copies but I ended up not using them with my son, so it is time to pass them along to someone else.

Almost Done With Kindergarten

It is hard to believe that we are almost done with our first year of homeschool.  Sugar Plum has grown by leaps and bounds this year.  She is reading with more confidence everyday.  Each day she reads me a new book she is so proud of herself. It is so great to see the pride on her face.

Tiger Boy has had a bit of a break with preschool.  He is learning a few things along with his big sis, but I have not been doing much with him as far as preschool is concerned.  He is not really interested, so I have not pressed it with him.  He is only 3 and has plenty of time to do school in the future.  I am looking toward next year and trying to figure out what things to do with him to help keep him interested.  I will also be doing preschool with my nephew whom I babysit three days a week. I am thinking that will help since they will be doing things together.

We are getting more and more excited about the baby growing inside me.  We found out last month that it is another boy and we are looking forward to meeting him in mid August.  I know he will put a monkey wrench into schooling as he already has in how well I feel as far as teaching and doing things.  It will be a challenge to figure out how to do school with a new baby, but we will make it work.
