Learn, Play, Eat, Repeat!

 

It had been a long time coming, and their big day had finally arrived! My grandkids had been packing and repacking their backpacks for weeks, anticipating returning to their friends, classrooms and, of course...recess! With Covid keeping them at home for well over a year, for most, they couldn't wait to get back. With a few new rules and adjustments, they easily adapted and were excited to share their first day back experiences with everyone who would listen...and I'm always up for that! Listening happens to be one of my favorite things to do with my kiddos. It takes little energy, no clean-up and fills me to the brim with happiness!

Happiness and Hugs all around,

Reading is Fun!

Hmm...I think she's got it!
See Katie see daddy read! 
See Katie read, too! 
At just 10 months Katie is already getting the message...Reading is comforting and fun! 
When my kids were little I created a small reading corner consisting of a few colorful, over sized pillows sitting next to baskets and a low shelf filled with age appropriate books. Please share your stories for encouraging your little ones to read!
Thanks,
Bubbie, Katie and Katie's daddy!

How And When To Teach Reading And Writing?

Texting?  He's barely talking!  Does this mean he's reading ?  And who's he writing to?  Could it be the cute red-head he played with on the slide today?  How did she get his number?  Wait a dog-gone minute here.  That's my phone, and stop pushing the buttons! You're about to call England again!  Whew!  Kids!  Can't leave them alone with your phone for a second!
Best to be watching them,
Bubbie
P.S.  When did your cuties show signs of interest in reading and writing?
