Star Wars Worksheets for Kids
Are you looking for some fun themed worksheets for your kids? I am a big believer that worksheets can actually be fun and engaging especially if you take advantage of your child’s current interests. They also make for a quick and low prep activity. Just print and pass out to get kids excited to work on their math and literacy skills. My toddler (age 2 and a half) is currently working on number recognition so I made this BB-8 inspired worksheet for her. She did well, not so much coloring within the lines, but was able to recognize all her eights, and only once mixed up a three for an…

Read Across America Week
Next week, my kids have a week long schedule of fun themed activities and dress up at school to celebrate Read Across America Week. It is a week that has been established to encourage children to read as well as to honor Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Recently, there has been a move not to associate this day with Dr. Seuss as some of his work has been criticized for not being inclusive. In fact, Dr. Seuss’ Enterprise has stopped publishing six of his books due to some insensitive imagery but fortunately these books are not banned. Regardless of your thoughts, this day shouldn’t be demoted to bickering over censorship or politics…
