My favorite Freezer Meals

This post has nothing to do with preschool but it is something that I think is a HUGE time saver for moms.... Freezer meals.  If you've never tried it, you totally should!  I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant with our 3rd so stocking up the freezer so my family doesn't stare after the baby comes is a must for me! I think that I went a little nuts with the freezer meals this time.  I just kept finding recipes that I wanted to try and now... I have an entire freezer FULL of meals and snacks!  Most of my recipes come from Once a Month mom (whole foods menu) and although I haven't been able to do "one big cooking and preparing day" like she does (can't stay on my feet that long), I will make a double or triple batch...

Toddler Time- Sorting colors

I thought this serving plate would be perfect for my toddler's sorting time!  You could use colored bears if you had them, pom poms, or anything colored that is small enough for your little one to scoop it up with a spoon.  I love activities like this because they not only teach sorting and colors, they also work those fine motor muscles!  Always a pl...

Letter S week- Lesson Plan

I think I might have gone a bit over board with our S week.  There were just soo many great activities that just had to include as many as I thought we could handle!  The main thing to think about when teaching the letter /s/ sound is that blends with the letter s are great since they still say the /s/ sound.  (Blends are letters that when put together still say both sounds but they are just blended together) For example- the /sn/ in "snail" or /sl/ in "slime".... you still hear both sounds when you say the word.  However, the /sh/ is a phoneme because when put together, they make a completely new sound.   So try and stay away from shark or shells because they don't really say the /s/ sound that we are trying to introduce. Here is our Ss week Lesson Plan   How...
