Phonics Chart and More Summer Planning

Good Afternoon, 

     Are you having a Sunday fun day? Or a lazy one like me? I love staying in all day and not having to deal with the outside word. What have yenz been up to this weekend? I have been trying to find printable's to take with us on our vacation over the summer. It's never to early to start planning!

To help any of you looking for some good websites to find activities these are a couple really good ones: 

If you are looking for:

• Dot to dot 
• Hidden pictures
• Mazes
• Cross words
• Word searches 
• Find the difference 
• + tons more

both Activity Village  and All Kids are great resources for you!

However what I am most excited about Tangrams!

If you have never heard of them before this is what they are:

http://www.tangram-channel.com/

      You are given a silhouette of something and then you have one box of shapes and using one complete box you try and make the picture. The website Tangram Channel is amazing because it has so many different silhouettes and then it shows you the answer, and after you see the answer you can print them out for personal use. I'm so excited for Monkey play, she LOVES puzzles! I excited to do it too though!    

      To make the Tangram box you can just print it out and laminate or print it out on card stock. What I did was used some foam I got from the Dollar tree and cut out the shape, one down side was my foam was rectangular, It took 2 sheets to get a full box, but I did 9 sheets of different colors only. They definitely are not perfectly cut, but I like that they will last long. 

     But while I was doing all this I have been trying to think of a way to get some Phonics into Monkey's day to day, we don't always have time for games. So I made a Phonic Chart, it has 100 different Vowel sounds, Consonant Blends, Silent letters, Endings. It is all on one page with one or two examples for each one. I'm hoping Monkey can go over the page either Daily or Weekly just to refresh on them. She can also refer to the chart while reading independently and is stuck on a word. Lastly I can take sections of it when we focus on certain vowels or blends, so we have something to refer to.

Hope you enjoy it, please let me know how you are liking it, and how you are using it! I'd love to hear from you all!

Free Things This Summer

Hi Everyone,

Summer is going to be upon us very soon! Like very very soon, which seems so crazy since last month we had three snow days! That was only here in Texas, I'm pretty sure their are still parts of the country with snow.

Regardless though, summer will be here in three short months though. I started looking for things to keep Monkey busy with. I always like a good FREE deal! Here are three things I would like to pass on to everyone.

Kids Skate Free

Sign you child up and every Sunday they send you 2 passes, for you child to come and skate for free. You will most likely have to pay for rental skates, but if you have skates all free!

Kids Bowl Free

Sign up your child and bowl at select times free. Kids can bowl 2 free games every day in the summer. Also you can purchase a Family pass for super cheap, so you can also bowl 2 games a day with them in the summer. Some place require a 5$ registration fee for each child. Hurry and check it out some place are starting there summer in April!

-Last one for now-

Free Chuck E. Cheese Rewards

This is just an example of one, there are many, for all different things. Such as chores, clean room, good eaters, and that is just to name a couple. Mark off each box for 2 weeks straight with a pen or a stick and redeem for 10 tokens at Chuck E. Cheese. This is an all year wrong program, that I think could be great to influence good behaviors. 

-

If you know any other ones, let me know. I liked these 3 because they are country wide. I'm a Fort Worth TX resident so if you know any local to here, I'd love to know about them!

I hope this helps, and every one has a fantastic summer!

Thanks Bunches,
