As a Experience Early Learning (EEL) Blogger, I receive the EEL Preschool Curriculum in exchange for my honest opinions and authentic stories about our experiences using the curriculum. All opinions and thoughts are completely my own When I thought about what my family would be like before even becoming a mother, I always imagined reading aloud. I could see myself and my little one cuddled...

Exploring Sounds with Little Kids

Observing our surroundings, being able to listen, and discern the sounds around us are skills that take time. Children need to know what is going on around them and be observant, especially in this day and age. As technology creeps and ours heads bow so often toward a screen in our hand, we lose what is going on around us and that is when we are in danger. This week we dove into how "Animals...

This week has been tough. Everett has been pretty sick. With Thanksgiving and family in for his birthday party on Saturday, I really needed my little guy to feel better. Due to his allergies, we stayed indoors as the wind blew and the leaves continued to fall. Being stuck indoors can be tough, especially when you want to stay away from the TV and electronic devices. (Have you read Techwise...

Playing with Books: Resourcefulness

I love learning through books. Charlotte Mason's method to education is totally my jam. That is one thing about this toddler curriculum from Experience Early Learning that I totally love! It's not only theme based, but it's also literature based. Each week has come with a book (that came in our tot box!) and all our toddler activities have revolved around that weekly book. This week we read the...

What do you do when your toddler has to be doing the same thing as your Kindergartener? It's definitely been trial and error as we learn how to navigate this homeschool life. We received an Experience Toddler box this month from Experience Early Learning that is just for my toddler, and he has had a blast with these activities. Wanna see what's in the box? Check it out here. We started our day...

I remember being in 2nd grade and watching my teacher use baking soda and vinegar to show us how a volcano erupts. That was one magical moment.My girl also got to have that magical moment, but it was shared with me!  Such a perk of being able to stay home with her.  One of the many reasons I truly wanted to.  Mother Goose Time outdid themselves with the day on Reactions. Seriously,...

Starting Over.

I thought about starting over.  Starting a new blog with where I am now.  I thought about different names, titles, and what my new blog would be about.  Then I thought about the title "Jack of All Trades."  I love that title.  It can allow this blog to be about anything I want it to be. Jack of All Trades...Master of None.  Why is...

Goodbye Math… Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow….

leslie May 27, 2012 8 Comments
I love math.  I love the organization of it all.  I love that there is only one right answer but a countless ways to get to it.  The methodical approach of each step and the elimination of a number leading me to the answer.  I love my notebook filled with foldables, notes and knowledge.But now after 6 long years of always teaching something different, I finally get a year...
