100 original Sunday School Songs for Kids

by Anna G June 16, 2013 22 Comments

Today I’m excited to share a Bible songbook for kids — it’s packed with 100 original songs! We love to sing at our house. It’s kind of evident when you step in the door because we have three pianos. When we got married, I had one.  My husband had two. Now we have three. But you know what? We don’t even need a piano for these songs because they’re all set…

How Do Kids Learn to Spell? (Word Study, Part 2)

by Anna G June 13, 2013 23 Comments

Do you teach spelling? It’s important to understand the stages of spelling development. Let’s take a look! In my last post I shared a better way to teach spelling.  Children learn best from a developmental, research-based approach to spelling instruction. It’s called Word Study.  It’s for kids from preK through high school.  It’s inexpensive.  It’s hands-on.  It works. Can you tell I love it? But before I get into the how…

Family dinner out + a book! – an end of the school year tradition

by Anna G June 3, 2013 11 Comments

Years ago, when my oldest was just a toddler, I read about an end of the school year tradition I knew I wanted to try.  I wish I could credit the original source, but I don’t remember where the idea originated – just that I loved it and couldn’t wait to use it with my own family. Since we keep our kids home for preschool, our daughter’s year in kindergarten…

How to Get Kids to Love Writing

by Anna G April 24, 2013 72 Comments

As a teacher I found that two subjects always found themselves at the center of instruction: reading and math.  These subjects deserve to be at the forefront.  But with the ever-increasing expectations for classroom teachers, other subjects get pushed out of the spotlight.  I’m thinking of one subject in particular.
