Hey guys! Have I told you I am only teaching reading, writing, and social studies this year! I’m loving it! We don’t spend much time in stations, except for our 30 minutes of RTI time every day.

  • I created these pages to be used after any fiction book. They are ideal for students to work on independently. Because they are differentiated, you can easily choose what level works for best for each student. They are meant to be reinforcement or assessment after a lesson about a comprehension skill, or as review of a previously taught skill.
  • Fizzing heart baking soda and vinegar heart paint eruptions. Science and art fun for kids perfect for Valentines Day or any time. Also great for fine motor skills. Arts and crafts activities for kids & toddlers.
  • While we were studying rocks and volcanoes during one of our homeschool units, we made a simple volcano using household items. Making a volcano with kids is an easy and fun science activity. Little ones are fascinated by the fizzy 'lava' and can't wait to do the activity again. Materials small disposable paper cup playdough baking soda vinegar red food coloring. #science #kids #experiment #learning
