File Folder CVC and Sight Word Puzzles!

Pin me to Pinterest!

Today I am going to tell you about a resource that I am really excited about:  CVC File Folder Puzzles!  These have actually been for sale on our website for a while, but I haven't really blogged about them much.  I am mentioning them now, because summer is a GREAT time to put these together and get them ready for next year, along with the Sight Word Spelling Puzzles as well!  I use both of them in my classroom regularly with great success.  They make great independent centers for word work and word building activities.  You can read more about the Sight Word Puzzles here.

The best thing about making your own puzzles is that you can just make the ones for the words that your school requires the students to learn, and simply not worry about the rest.  We sell them on our website, our TPT store, and on Teachers Notebook actually one word at a time!  So if you are missing just one sight word from a set that we sell, you might want to check out our TN store.

There are actually two sets of CVC puzzles:  one set of puzzles for the CVC Volume One Book and another set of puzzles for the CVC Volume 2 Book.  The difference between these two books is simply in the word families that are covered.
 

The HeidiSongs CVC Book Volume One includes the following word families:
at, an,
eg, et, en
ig, in, it, ip
op, ot, ox
ug, ut, un

The HeidiSongs CVC Book Volume Two includes the following word families:
ad, ag, ap,
ed, em
id, im
od, og
ud, ub, um, up

It is much more satisfying for the children to put the puzzles together when they attach with velcro than without!

 I like using the CVC puzzles in conjunction with the books because the pictures are exactly the same.  Once they recognize the picture for "jig" on the worksheets for the CVC book, then they will also recognize it on the CVC puzzles, the CVC pockets, and any other resources that you might make for them out of the book!  

If you would like to try out a couple of these puzzles free, you can download a few of them here.  :)  And don't forget that our new Sound Blending DVD is out and was made to help kids learn to sound out CVC words.  Watch a clip here!

How to Make a HeidiSongs File Folder Puzzle

I once had a volunteer take home the supplies to make me a couple of these CVC puzzles, and I must admit that they came out all wrong!  So I assume that perhaps the instructions are not as self-explanatory as I thought.  In light of that, I took some photos while I made my last set so that I could share them with you here.

Step One:
Decide what color you want each word to be.  I prefer to match the words of the puzzle to the color of the file folder to help us remember which letters go with which file folder.  Then you'll have to go shopping or round up the right colors of paper and file folders in your school supply room.  Then print, cut out, and trim the puzzles.  Hint:  I think it's easier to laminate the pieces with the letters BEFORE you cut them apart!  Just trim around the outside of the border first to save lamination film.

Step One

Step Two:
Lay out the puzzle pieces onto your file folders and make sure they are all going to fit as you thought!  Remember, the letters that go on the top of the puzzles don't need to be glued down on that file folder!

Step Two

Step Three:
Think about whether you want to keep word families together on one file folder or mix them up, and plan out your folders accordingly.

Step Three

Step Four:
Glue down the bottom parts of the puzzles as shown.  (When making the Sight Word Spelling Puzzles, rather than the CVC puzzles, I can usually turn the file folders the other direction as is shown in the pink and red picture near the top of the page.)

Step Four

Step Five:
Laminate the file folders for durability.  I felt very lucky that our laminator at school was large enough to take a file folder!  Laminate the puzzle pieces while you are at it.
 

Step Five

Step Five and a Half!

Step Six:
Trim your lamination.

Step Six

 Step Seven:
Cut apart the puzzle pieces.

Step Eight:Add Velcro to the backs of the pieces and the puzzle frames. I try to be consistent with always using the loop side of the Velcro on the puzzle pieces, and the hook side on the frames.

Step Eight

Step Nine:
Put it together and your puzzle is finished!

The completed puzzle!

I hope that this helps any of you that were a little confused!  As you may be able to tell from the picture directly above, my laminator was not quite hot enough, and it didn't seal well above the word "run" and left an air bubble.  Make sure your laminator is very hot and works well, or you will probably be SORRY!  So far, we have had no problems with the puzzle, but I am afraid that due to the poor lamination, it won't last very long.

Do you think if I put a wet cloth over the file folder and then iron it with a hot iron, I can fix that?  Does ANYONE know how to salvage a project that was (kind of) ruined by a laminator that didn't work so well?  The teacher next door to me bought her own laminator at a craft store and it seems to work SO much better than this one- but it is rather small, and you can only fit one 8.5" by 11" piece of paper into it at a time, unfortunately.  Oh, well.  What to do?

Father's Day Guided Drawing Freebie!

Pin me to Pinterest!

 Hi, everyone!  Today I am going to give you a free download of a Father's Day guided drawing lesson!  I hope it will come in handy for those of you that are still in school!  If you are already on summer vacation, then you can count your blessings!  I had my last day yesterday, and it feels GREAT!  Ahhh, there's nothing like the sweet smell of SUMMER, is there?  In any case, maybe those of you that are already on vacation can possibly make use of this next year.

I encouraged the children to make their pictures look like their own dads as much as possible.

We did our Father's Day guided drawing lesson last week, and the pictures turned out sooooo cute!  I love that my students last year would always CHEER when I told them that we were going to do guided drawing!  It's neat when they are so "into" an activity that they all feel like they are being given a treat when they are given the lesson!

We use a class set of clipboards to do our drawing.  I also have a class set of crayons in baggies that we only use for this purpose.

We did our guided drawing activity after lunch one afternoon for the outside of our Father's Day cards, and then wrote the words on the inside of our cards at our writing table with my help in small groups the next day.  Of course, by this time of year, the children don't need a lot of help writing, thanks to doing so much Sing and Spell the Sight Words and Sounds Fun Phonics movements and songs.

The dad in the bottom center is supposed to have a Mohawk.  Note the five o'clock shadow on the dad to his right!

I love all of the personality that the children gave each of their dads in the pictures!  I love that children want to use all of the colors in the crayon box, and so they will often make their dads rainbow colored, just for fun.  A child told me that one dad in the picture above had a Mohawk, and another child drew a five o'clock shadow on his dad!

The dad on the bottom right is a SpiderDad!

Several of the boys in my class this year had an obsession with Spiderman this year, and tried to turn just about every project they could into a Spiderman styled project.  Did you notice?  The dad on the bottom right of the above picture is a SpiderDad!

Here we have a couple more Mohawks and a love message. 

Here is the last group shot that I took.  We have a couple more Mohawks and love note.  So sweet!

I love it when reversals create a totally different message!  How cute is this?  Can you decipher it?

The above picture is my absolute FAVORITE of the whole bunch!  Can you figure out what this precious little girl was trying to write to her father?

Pin me to Pinterest!

 We used the same pattern for the card from the Mother's Day guided drawing card.  You can download it here.  It works well because the head is traced onto the card ahead of time for the kids.  That way, it is the right size, and it is in the right spot.  If one of those things is off a little bit, they really cannot continue, and that makes it hard to make a nice looking card.

The free downloadable instructions for the Father's Day guided drawing project are right here.  Have fun!

The New Sound Blending DVD is HERE!!!!!! (Free Shipping Code!!)

Extra, extra!!!  Our newest DVD creation is HERE:  it's the Sound Blending Songs for Word Families DVD!  I'm so excited about this DVD, because the accompanying Sound Blending Songs CD was SO helpful to my class this year in learning to sound out words!  My students were amazingly successful this year in learning to sound out words, and the great majority of them even had it totally mastered before the hundredth day of school!  You can read more about that in this blog post here.

And now, at the end of the year, 26 out of 28 of my students read all of the words below with 100% accuracy.  Only two of them missed a word.  One child with speech and language issues scored 7/10, and another child, who keeps having trouble with the short U sound, scored 9/10.  All of the rest got perfect scores on their CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) reading test!  These are the very best scores my students have gotten in reading three letter words in my entire teaching career- EVER.  And remember, this is a Title One school, where more than half of the students qualify for the free lunch program.

26 out of 28 of my students read these words with 100% accuracy by the end of the year!

And here is a free shipping code for you:  SBSongs.  This code will get you free shipping on any order to be shipped within the United States ONLY- it is not good on international shipping.  And it is only good this weekend; it expires on Monday, June 3rd.  So if you want it shipped to you at no charge, you'll need to order it right away! 

The songs on the DVD take the children right through the steps of sounding out words, just as the CD does. 
Step one:  Say the sounds.
Step two:  Stretch out the sounds.
Step three:  Blend them together.
Step four:  Read the word.

In contrast to the CD, the DVD has those all important visuals on screen (the words and movements), so that you don't have to try to hold any flash cards in your hands while you do hand motions and then try to remember all of the movements as well (while managing your class!)  With a difficult group of children, this can be quite a trick!  I can certainly attest to having had some difficulty with this myself this year.  I was glad to have gotten a test copy of the DVD this year to try out about a month or so ago.  What a difference it made!  I used it in my classroom while my husband and the office staff perfected the DVD and searched for errors before sending it off for duplication.

These visual aids are a free download on our website here.

 If you do prefer to use a CD with your class, I highly recommend using the visual aids that are part of the free download here.  It makes a real difference when you show the children the words that you are teaching them to sound out, that's for sure!  And even if you ARE using the DVD, it really couldn't hurt to use the visual aids anyway, just for good practice!

Here are some video clips for you!  I hope you enjoy this, our newest offering.

Tips for Using Sing and Spell Effectively in the Classroom

This is one of my favorite all time quotes by Howard Gardner.

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting a wonderful school in Los Angeles Unified School District called Maple Primary Center to do a staff development presentation on how to use HeidiSongs Sing and Spell the Sight Words program most effectively.  As I prepared myself for this presentation, I realized that it had been a while since I sat down and tried to identify what it is that I was doing in my classroom with my materials that help me achieve success with my students!  But once I sat down, re-defined it, and wrote it down for the presentation, I knew that this would make a good blog post for anyone else that may also want to know how to get the best out of their Sing and Spell CD's and DVD's.  Some of these suggestions have been covered in previous posts, and if so, I have provided a link in case you want to read more.  And by the way, you can bring me to your school for staff development, too!  Contact us for more information.

Heidi loves Gladstone Elementary!  Thank you for having me!

I also had the pleasure of visiting Gladstone School, where some of my teacher friends work this week on Monday!  I got to meet their wonderful Kindergarten students, sing some songs with them, and read them some HeidiSongs books!  These children are oooh so smart, and incredibly well behaved!  I was VERY impressed with them!  These beautiful children and their teachers treated me like a celebrity and made me feel like a queen, and of course  I loved every minute of it!  Considering there were three kindergarten classes all together in one room, they were amazingly attentive for about 45 minutes.  WOW!  These teachers obviously know exactly what they are doing!  (Of course they do; they work in my very own district!)  You'll get to see some videos and pictures of our time together below.  Fun!  If you would like to bring me to your school to meet your students, let us know!  It is something I enjoy doing, if I am going to be in your area and I have time.
 

Pacing for Introducing New Words and Songs 
1.  Introduce your first word (usually "the") after about 3-4 weeks of school.  (You may wish to introduce color words earlier.)  Download my Pacing Guide here, halfway down the page under "Program User Guides."
2.  Kindergartners can usually handle at LEAST two new songs per week.  First graders can do more.  If they are getting it, you are doing it RIGHT.
3.  Keep reviewing the previous songs as you go.


Tips for Using Sing and Spell
1.  Always include motions of some kind.  As Howard Gardner says, "When the body moves, the brain remembers!"
2.  Establish a procedure for getting the kids to calm down when you are done singing.  I have two bells that I use.  One means, "FREEZE-  No matter what!"  The other one means, "We're changing centers now.  Time to start cleaning up and join me on the carpet."
3.  ALWAYS show the word when singing the song.  I use the DVD's most often, so the words are on the screen.  But if you are using CD's or singing alone, then keep the words on flashcards and put them on a ring in order.  Grab it each time you sing.

Pin me to Pinterest!

4. Important!!!!!  As soon as a song is over, display the word and ask them what it is.  Ask them to spell it sometimes, too.

 

5.  Have the children write the words while the songs play.  This helps them connect the song to the written word.
6.  Apply the skill.  A skill is only partially learned until it is applied.  MODEL how to use the songs while writing. And be sure to tell the kids WHAT THE SONGS ARE FOR!

Using HeidiSongs during shared writing:
1.  As you write, ask children for spellings and have them sing the songs to you as you write. 
2.  If there is no song, then have kids stretch out the word and sound it out together. 
3.  Reread as a group what you have written together.  Discuss capitals, spaces, and periods.

Use Music as a Classroom Management Tool
1.  Whenever your students are getting restless, stand them up and sing a song.  Use it as an opportunity to review a sight word!
2.  Sing a few songs in between centers when some kids are cleaning up and others are already finished.
3.  Use the songs as a transitional tool.  This keeps the review going continually without dedicating much extra time.

What should we do with kids that are reluctant to participate?
Do everything you can to "nip it in the bud."
1. Explain that we are learning through this activity.  Refusing to sing and/or move is the same as refusing to do a worksheet.
2.  Do what you can to motivate them.  Settle on a consequence and stick with it.
3.  Get parents to help with "non-participants."  Explain that passive children learn more slowly.
4.  Move "class leaders" that participate near the front, and reluctant or shy children more to the back.  Non-participation (and bad attitudes!) are contagious!

Tips for Motivating Reluctant Students
1. Choose one "Super Singer" who was a super singer/dancer that day and give him or her a sticker.
2. One teacher gave her "Heidi's Super Star" a silly band to wear for the rest of the day (or until she sang again later,) and then collected it before the kids went home.

These are "silly bandz."  Give your "best" or most enthusiastic singer a silly band to wear until it is time to sing again next time.  Then reclaim it and choose another child to be your "best" singer!

3.  If YOU do the movements and sing with the kids, they are more likely to do it WITH you!
4.  One teacher told me that she would choose a "best singer" of the day and let them push the "Easy Button" and everyone would say, "Way to go, Suzy!" etc.
5. Do "Sight Word Solos" (or duets, etc.) if you are all waiting for something, such as someone to finish up in the restroom, etc. !
6. Mix favorite songs in with others that they need to work on.  Use iTunes to make a playlist.

Are you uncomfortable with any of the movements?  Change them!  They say that teaching is sales.  You should like it or you won't do a good job of "selling it."  :)

Of course, the more you DO with the sight words and song, the better your outcomes are likely to be.

Here is a short list of things that you can do just to extend the songs and activities and integrate them into your program.  Some are specific to using HeidiSongs, and some are more "generic" and could be used with any program.

1.  Use the CD's or DVD's as a listening center.  Just pop the CD's into a listening center and make sure that you have a Sing Along Song Book printed out from our website, or type one up yourself from the song lyrics you can download free online!

2.  Play Sight Word Shuffle!  Just load your CD onto an iPod and make a playlist of the songs that your kids need to learn.  Then switch your settings over to "shuffle" on your iPod so that the songs will play in random order.
Here's how to play:  Choose a child to be "it."  Press "play" on the iPod.  The child that is "it" has to identify the word whose song is playing, and then run to find it on the word wall before that song is over.  If you like, then you can match girls against boys and see who finds it first, awarding points to the winning team.

3.  Put on a Sing and Spell Show!  Parents always love to see their children perform, and this is a pretty easy thing to do that doesn't interrupt the curriculum at all!

These are ALL free downloads on different posts.  The summer themed one is on THIS post!

4.  Make a Sight Word Surprise, and drill the kids on their words using them.  There are several free ones on my blog that you can choose from.  The basic idea is that it is a white crayon resist with a sight word written with a white crayon in the middle of a paper.  The teacher or helper writes a sight word ahead of time on the page with a white crayon. Then the children water color it to see the surprise sight word come up.  Then when they are dry, the teacher uses the papers to drill the class on the sight words.  You can find the original Secret Sight Word Surprise here.  The Valentine's Day themed "Sweet Sight Word Surprise" is here.  The St. Patrick's Day themed "Secret Shamrock Surprise" is here.   You'll find the "Easter Sight Word Surprise" here, and finally the "Secret Insect Surprise" is here.

  And you can download my new Summer Sight Word Surprise right here on this blog post!  We had a lot of fun painting it the day after Open House, which was Wednesday night of this week for me.  Busy, busy, busy!  (It's a good thing I started this blog post EARLY!)

5.  Use the songs in literacy centers for further reinforcement.  I like to use the Sing and Spell "Velcro Books" from time to time as a work station.  With the "Velcro Books," the kids read the words to the songs and put the letters back in to rebuild the songs. 

With the "Velcro Books," the kids read the words to the songs and put the letters back in to rebuild the songs.

This is a very similar activity to our Sing and Spell Cloze Activity Worksheets, which are sold as a download along with the Sing Along Song Books.

In these worksheets, the children write the target word several times, but within the context of the song.  Then they try to read the song back when they are done!  They also practice their printing skills while they are at it.

The Sing and Spell Puzzles are also lots of fun and are great reinforcement, as are the CVC puzzles, by the way!  (They are also less work to put together than the Velcro books.)  :)

Sing and Spell Puzzles are fun!  They can be used with or without folders and Velcro.

CVC Puzzles work the same way, but they have pictures with them as well.  We used them this year with our new Sound Blending Songs CD.  And the DVD is now at the duplicator and should be in soon!

My kids love making little Sing Along Songbooks, too!  They can take these home with them immediately, and they like that.  These are a part of the Workbook, Mini Songbooks, and Flashcard Books that I created for each CD/DVD.  You can download some sample pages from this workbook on this blog post here.

 

These little take-home Mini Sing-Along Song books are a HIT with kids and parents!

This is what the rest of the workbook pages look like.  Download some sample pages here.

Of course, there are the ever popular Hidden Sight Word Worksheets, too!  Oh my goodness!  I never would have guessed what a HIT these are!   We now have them available for all five volumes of Sing and Spell the Sight Words, too, thanks to the tireless efforts of our HeidiSongs office staff.  You'll find some free samples to download here.

This is what the Hidden Sight Word Worksheets look like.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post!  And to all of my friends in the United States, have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Tips for Organizing Your Testing Efficiently and Getting the Best From Your Students

Pin me to Pinterest!

This week, I would like to share with you some tips and ideas that I have developed over the years for organizing classroom testing efficiently, and getting the very best from your students.  I started writing them down as I was explaining what to do to my wonderful job share partner this year, as we were making our way through the testing process together.  It's funny- I really had never thought about my testing procedures before, but as I was describing these things to my job share partner, I realized that this might make a good blog post.  I hope that these suggestions are helpful to you!

This week, I changed my "learning objective sign" to what we were REALLY doing this week when we took a practice test on mathematical reasoning.  :)

Getting Ready to Test

1.  Do a mid trimester assessment and send home the results to parents so that they can be practicing with their kids. 

2.  Consider using ESGI online software to keep parents continually informed of their children’s progress easily and efficiently.  All you have to do is test the child using the software online.  A  customizable parent letter with optional flash cards is instantly generated.  The only flash cards that are printed are the items that each individual child needs to learn, so no paper is wasted!  The parents in my class this year told me that they loved this and that it was extremely helpful!

I can't say enough about this excellent software!  It has really made a difference in my classroom!

3.  Make a list of what needs to be tested, (or retested) about six weeks before the report card is due.  That will give you plenty of time to review those concepts that are needed.  Mark it off as you test.

This is a list of skills that need to be tested from several years ago.  I blurred out the scores for privacy reasons.  As you can see, each child's name is checked off as the test is completed.

4.  About halfway through the testing process, check everything over and make a new list of everything that needs to be tested.  You’ll probably find things that you thought you had done, but accidentally missed. Keep marking it off as you go.

5.  Mark testing results immediately on a chart so you can see that everything is finished.  I find it encouraging to watch the chart fill up, since it represents the end of the testing process.  I can also tell what if I have missed anyone, and how the class is doing in general in any area just by running my finger down a column.

This is my Language Arts Testing Chart.  The blank columns and spaces tell me what is left to be tested.  The names are covered up on the left with a ruler for privacy reasons.

Organization Tips

6.  Set up a table or desk with all of your testing supplies the night before so that when you have a moment to test your students, you can jump right on it without delay! 

This is my testing table.  Notice that it is partially shielded by a book shelf, so that I can keep distractions to a minimum for the child that is being tested, yet still keep an eye on my class.  All of my supplies are there, including a timer, sticky notes, red and black pens, testing lists, and testing papers.  I try to find time to put names on all of the testing papers ahead of time, just to make sure that I don't accidentally skip someone.  This can easily happen if a child is absent on the day of testing.

7.  Lay out any independent retesting papers that kids can do alone the night before with all supplies on tables, so that you can set children going quickly without losing your class.

8.  If anything CAN be done as a group rather than individually, DO IT!  I use “offices” (shields) that are made out of very stiff cardboard, and duct tape to keep the children’s eyes from wandering.

We set up our "offices" for group testing the night before we give a test.  Notice that we have covered up the alphabet on the word wall ahead of time as is required for the particular test we were giving.

9.  Enlist volunteers.  Make sure they know not to help children when they are testing.  If I can, I try to put the volunteer at my table in the small group rotation, and pull myself OUT so that I can do my small group testing in relative peace.  :)

10.  Don’t put testing off til the last minute.  If you do, of course you KNOW someone will get sick and will not be able to complete the test.  And it might even be YOU!!!!

11.  Review your testing chart when you are nearly finished.  Have you missed anyone?  Double and triple check before it's too late.

12.  Do your test results make sense, based on what you know about your daily experiences with your students?  Try to find time to retest children if something doesn’t sound right with what you know about the child from day to day.  You want to feel that you can justify and defend each score if necessary. 

13.  It may be more efficient to test certain skills off of a clipboard rather than a separate testing card or paper for each child.  For example, when I test my students on producing rhyme, I write the words that they are supposed to rhyme with at the top of a check off sheet.  Then it is very easy for me to ask the children what rhymes with that word halfway through the trimester.  I write a check mark if the child gives me a correct answer.  I write a dot if he gives me a wrong answer.  Once I have established who I need to work with on producing rhyme the most, I contact their parents and ask them to help their children at home.  At the end of the trimester, I can retest off of the same check off sheet.  If the child then gives me a correct rhyming word, I simply change the dot to a check mark, and that is the end of that!  It's also very easy to get that retesting done, because I can just walk around the room at playtime or during centers, and whisper in the child's ear that I would like him or her to give me a word that rhymes with ____.  He or she doesn't even have to get up from the activity if there are only a couple of words!

This is my check off sheet for testing Producing Rhyming Words.  I test them halfway through the trimester to assess who needs more help.  (A dot indicates a wrong answer.)  At the end of the trimester, I test retest those that didn't pass the first time around.  Once a child gives me a correct answer, I mark it with a check mark.

Getting the Best From Your Students

14.  If there are hand motions that you use as a routine when teaching a certain skill, then use those motions when asking the sample test questions to help your students understand what you want.  For example, when I ask students to give me a middle sound, we always "do the roller coaster."  See the picture below for the movement.

We always do "the roller coaster" when we practice finding middle sounds during our phonemic awareness instruction time.  I prompt my students during our sample test questions by reminding them to do the roller coaster to help them find the correct sound.  This always helps them understand which sound I am looking for!

15.  Give slow workers a head start on their test papers if this is allowed in your district.  I try to set them apart at the back of my room while I am giving whole group lessons, first thing in the morning when the room is relatively quiet and the child is at his or her most focused.  If there is an extra volunteer in my room, I may tell him or her to walk by every now and then and encourage the child to keep working, but not give any help.  (If I think that the volunteer may feel sorry for the child and help anyway, I don’t test the child that day.) 

16.  Get in the habit of finding out what language is used on the test questions, and use that same language when you are teaching.  Example.  If the segmentation testing instructions say, “Tell me all of the sounds you hear in.....” then those are the very same words you should use when teaching segmentation.  You can probably change your teaching routine more easily than you can change the language of the test.  Even better, add a movement to that routine, such as karate chopping the word on your arm as you break it into pieces.  That will keep your active learners happily engaged.  And if anyone is daydreaming during your lesson, that child's inactivity will be a dead giveaway and you can call him or her on it.

17.  Lay out number cards straight up and down before asking a child to put them in order or match sets with them.  Or, chop a corner off of the top right or left corner of each of your flash cards so that it is easy to identify which side is up.  Teach the children to do this FIRST, before attempting to put anything in order.

Notice how the upper right hand corners are all cut off on these flash cards to help children figure out which side is up.

18.  If this is allowed in your district, ask children that tend to reverse letters to identify p’s, b’s, d’s, and q’s before asking them to begin the testing process in reading any CVC words, etc.  Just asking the child to identify the letters ahead of time gives them a chance to think about it calmly and without pressure before any testing begins.  I think it helps take some pressure off of our poor babies!
 

19.  Give choices to stubborn kids whenever possible.  Example:  “Would you like to read the words off of flash cards or off of the computer?”  “Would you like to put the numbers in order on the floor, or onto the pocket chart?”


I hope you have enjoyed this post!  As always, please check our website for great products to help kids learn in a fun way- as much as is possible in this test crazy world!
