Ice Cream Sounds! Short and Long Vowel Sound Sorting Activity

by Leave a Comment

Is there anyone alive who doesn’t scream for ice cream?

I’m sure there must be, but I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t.

My kids (like most kids) are fanatics for ice cream. One loves chocolate, one loves strawberry, one loves cake batter, and one loves cookies & cream (like yours truly).

With warmer weather on the way, I thought ice cream would be a fun theme for an early phonics resource: this short and long vowel sound sorting activity!

Nothing says “summer” quite like a popsicle.

When I was young, there was a general store about 10 miles away from our house that sold Dreamcicles – a combination of orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream.

A Frog’s Life! Frog Life Cycle Sequencing Activity

by Leave a Comment

Growing up out in the country, I didn’t see many frogs. We saw a lot of toads.

Which, to me, are some of the cutest animals ever.

Once I moved to the suburbs, though, frogs were a much more common sight.

They’re usually sticking to the door of our back patio. In fact, when we walk up to the door, we can almost see through their bellies and make out their internal organs.

It’s pretty cool.

Frogs go through an incredible life cycle, transforming from water animals to land animals in the process.

Which makes this hands-on frog life cycle sequencing activity a fantastic science lesson for kids!

Fun Frog Life Cycle Sequencing Activity for Kids

This is a simple way to teach students about how animals develop and how frogs, in particular, transform from living in one environment to another.

Working with a kindergartner is kind of like walking on a tightrope.

They don’t want to do anything too “baby-ish”, but they’re not quite ready for “real school” either.

Except for my four-year-old.

She wants to do EVERYTHING her older siblings are doing, including learning subjects and predicates, as well as order of operations.

This free printable homeschool day planner makes it easy to structure a day of learning from home!

Printable Relaxed Kids Homeschool Day Planner

by Leave a Comment

We were homeschoolers for ten years.

During that time, I taught up to four children. In four different grade levels. It was fun.

And at times overwhelming.

But one of the most important things I learned is that the only way to make homeschooling work (for me, at least) was to take a very relaxed approach.

I tried timed schedules and they just didn’t work for us. Especially because some of our children have attention issues.

The relaxed homeschooling approach, though, was perfect.

Which is why I thought it might be helpful to share this printable kids homeschool day planner – which is perfect for relaxed learning at home!

Cute Printable Homeschool Day Planner for Kids

With this handy planning page, you can structure your child’s learning day without going overboard.

Which will only stress you all out. Trust me.

Read on to get your copy – free!

And, for more ways to plan your homeschool without feeling overwhelmed, take a look at how I got by without using a homeschool planner at all!

This free printable homeschool day planner makes it easy to structure a day of learning from home!

What is Relaxed Homeschooling?

I feel like I need to give a quick primer about relaxed homeschooling, just in case you’re new to teaching kids at home.

Relaxed homeschooling takes a gentle approach to schoolwork.

Instead of structuring your day in a school-at-home fashion (with a set time for each subject and a set amount of work to cover), you choose your own way to cover each subject.

In fact, you can even choose which subjects to complete each day.

The overall goal is to learn on a continuous basis – not to cover a certain amount of the curriculum.

My kids loved it.

Printable Relaxed Kids Homeschool Day Planner

So – if you’re using a relaxed homeschool approach, this simple homeschool day planner is perfect for outlining what you want to accomplish each day.

To use this printable kids homeschool planner, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

This homeschool planner includes two color pages and two line art pages.

One set of color and line art planning pages has labeled sections for the following subjects:

  • Math
  • English
  • Physical Activity
  • Creative
  • Free Choice
  • Science
  • and Quiet Time
Colorful Homeschool Day Planner Printable for Kids

The other set of color and line art planning pages is unlabeled, so you can decide which subjects or areas you’d like to teach that day.

The very essence of relaxed homeschooling!

Kids Printable Homeschool Day Planner

You can even make these reusable.

Simply laminate the pages and use dry erase markers to fill in what you’d like to cover each day.

And you can let the kids color in the line art version too!

Work on learning big and small sizes with these flower size sorting printables!
These free big and small sorting worksheets are a perfect spring activity for preschoolers who are learning about size!

One of Piglet’s favorite subjects to discuss is how “big” she’s getting.

On any given morning, she may emerge from her bedroom shouting “I’m getting so big!” or “I’m almost as big as you now, Mama!”

Preschoolers are often fixated on getting “big”, which is a surefire way to know that they’re starting to notice the differences between big and small.

And that’s a great thing, because size differentiation is a basic math concept that helps kids grasp other ideas: comparing shapes, comparing numbers, measurement, and more!
