Like the art closet, I've had this writing workshop in the planning stages for many, many months. Originally inspired by my Playful Learning E-course and Mariah's wonderful book by the same name, it was the call of the child that propelled me into action. When Finn started "writing letters" to everyone and everything, I knew I couldn't put off the writing workshop any longer. Finn is almost three (the big birthday is less than two weeks away!) and he is a fellow who (mostly) takes good care of his art supplies and writing tools. But his brother? Notsomuch. So first...

I am finally getting around this summer to linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics! Don't forget to visit the linky and check out all the fun! This is mostly what I've been up to this summer: {best. movie. EVER!} But as I swinging around Hobby Lobby and Target last weekend I finally felt inspired! Here's what I made: First, I re-did my letter tile storage case with these awesome stickers I picked up at the Target Dollar Spot! I love how they have a picture and the capital/lowercase letter. Now I need to go find another case at Walmart for all my magnetic letters... 32 Compartment No Spill Case: Walmart, $7 Alphabet Stickers: Target, $1 Eureka Letter Tiles: Amazon, $9 {Total Cost: $17} P.S. Don't forget to enter my current giveaway for a Target gift card! Giveaway ends this Saturday! I finally tried it... mod podge cute clipboards for my awesome new teammates! Here's how it went- tell me I'm not the only one! :) In the end (six clipboards and three trips to Hobby Lobby later) they turned out great! Practice makes perfect, right?! Here's what you'll need for this project: Mod Podge Matte Finish: Hobby Lobby or Walmart, $5 Clipboard: Dollar Tree, $1 Scrapbook Paper: Hobby Lobby, $0.59/each Assorted Foam Brushes: Hobby Lobby, $2/pack Decorative Ribbon: Hobby Lobby, $1-$3 3" Avery Printable Round Labels: $9 {Total Cost: ~$20} {It is really important to add a MEDIUM coat. This first time I didn't do a thick enough coat and my paper ended up peeling!} {It's very important to WAIT between each layer of mod podge, otherwise you will get terrible bubbles. I did 3 total layers- 2 in the evening, 1 in the morning and they turned out great!} Did I mention how important it is to wait for each coat to dry completely before putting on another one? :) And last but not least... I learned how to print onto sticky notes {best.thing.EVER!} Look how cute and classy my new organizational binder tabs turned out: And it was pretty easy peasy lemon squeezy once I got going with it! Here's what you do: Print sticky note template onto white paper, then cover with sticky notes. The template shown is for 3" by 3" sticky notes. Be careful to place the sticky part towards the top in each box. Edit the text in the template file. The circles are designed for use with a 2" circle cutter or you can cut them out. You can also add text to the plain boxes to print onto an entire sticky note. (And yes, the text is upside down. This is very important- you want the sticky side on top to adhere to the page and the text to stick out of the binder!) Place template paper with sticky notes into printer. Note the direction the sticky notes face- you want the paper feed in the smoothed down sticky part first. Voila! Beautiful sticky notes. The lightly dotted circle makes it easy to line up with your circle punch or to follow with scissors. Got that? Here's the steps in review: And that's all folks! I hope you found some fun easy to use ideas. Don't forget to pick up your sticky note template/tutorial freebie below and happy crafting!

I am always striving to teach my students a combination of academics with functional skills. Since my kiddos struggle with alphabetical order, I bought these filing sets from Office Depot to use during our vocational AND reading time. They are so fun, the kids LOVE them and they really work! Over time, the kids see and remember the order of the letters and since the file goes front to back it really reinforces the alphabetical order concept! Take a peek! Start with any type of alphabetical filing system. This is what I used but really there are many different kinds. You can use ANY letters. I used upper and lower case letters! As you can see you can also file by numbers or months! SO many options! Also great for fine motor skills! Filing is such a useful skill! These make such a fun and effective station in my room and the kids really enjoyed it!
Print out this worksheet and use with kids to help them practice writing the letters A, B, C, D and E. Children will use this printable alphabet review worksheet to practice writing both the capital and lowercase versions of each of the letters between A and E. For kids just getting started with writing letters, make sure to check out the rest of our alphabet worksheets.
These Literacy Station signs come in two sizes! One set is approximately 4.25" x 5.5" (half page-perfect to post at each station).

Writing can be one of the hardest subjects to teach in your homeschool. I want to share a resource that has been teaching my kids to love to write!
Follow us on Pinterest for tons of great kids activities and ideas. Activities for teaching children to write Before children can write, they need to build up the necessary fine-motor skills. Involving them in a range of fine motor activities will allow them to develop the muscle strength and coordination necessary for writing. Like many things that children must learn, writing is something that comes with time and practice. It also often goes hand in hand with learning letters and learning your name. Enticing children to write and make marks in a variety of ways and for a variety of purposes will help them develop the skill over time. In the title picture above, we were practicing writing our name. I wrote the name in highlighter and children can write over that with pen or pencil. Little dots with arrows showed where the letter needed to be started and the direction they needed to go. Below are a good range of activities and ideas to help with teaching children how to write. 1. 2 letter writing games with salt from Learn with Play at Home 2.

It’s the thirty-second day of school. Over half my kinders are ‘Top Bananas,’ I’ve introduced and we’ve reviewed over half the letters of the alphabet, they are showing signs of segmenting and blending, they totally ‘get’ patterns, and I’m feeling like it’s time to introduce word families.

Most of us are used to seeing libraries as these strict places where all fun is banned and you must be quiet and serious at all times. Sounds pretty boring, doesn't it? Well, what if we told you librarians actually have a sense of humor too?
Is there a beginner reader in your house? Then they will love this printable Build A Word Game. Practice building CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant) by spinning the wheels to get your beginning sound and ending letter blend. Next build the word by sounding out each letter and then practice writing the word out. Perfect for preschool and kindergarten aged kids as part of your homeschool curriculum or as a fun addition to your busy binder. A blank version of the game (you fill in the begging sound and ending letter blend) is also included so you can practice your own specific words. Use the provided arrows for the game wheels (attach loosely using a brad pin) or use a pencil in the center and spin with a paper clip.
