Alphabet Spoon- Matching Game

Thank you to; From Kindergarten With Love, who gave me this idea. I love her vinyl letters and wish I could have made mine like that, but I have no cricut...so a marker will have to do. :) :)

Kids love games and I have noticed that if I say "game" to anything my daughter gets excited. :) When those "games" are educational I get excited. :)

This was very easy to create! I found both clear and white spoons at the dollar store. I used white as my capital letters and clear as my lower case letters.

I know my daughter knows her capital letters much better then lower case so this game is good practice for her to start to learn those lower case letters better.

I spread the upper case and lower case letters out in two different piles. Then I first had her locate the letters in her name and put the lower case with the upper case. After she did her name I told her to try to make as many pairs as she could. I could easily see her getting frustrated because of all the letters still left. So to alleviate some of her stress I took out 5 upper and 5 lower case letters to make pairing a bit easier for her.

I now know what lower case letters we really need to focus on! The spoons are easy to store and this could even be a travel game! :) We are taking a road trip soon for a wedding and it will be fun for her to have one bag of letters at a time searching for the letters as she looks out the car window. :) So we will be taking these with us! :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
