WFMW - math time

by @ Wednesday, August 20th, 2008. Filed under Homeschooling, works for me

For a while, Ariel and I used dry beans as “counters” for her to use at math time.  These are very easy to manipulate - small enough to easily sort into piles, etc.  The problem is, they’re also significant choking hazards for her little sister, and I was always a little nervous about the possibility […]

Green Babies

 With apologies to my consistent readers for the duplication, I am going to repeat last week’s post so that it will actually get in on time and the WFMW readers will get to see it.
We recently determined that Ariel had been spending too much time watching movies.  This had come about because when […]
