Dinosaur sight words

 

Who says sight words can't be fun.  You could do this with anything in your house.  It really is magic.  The more they see the words the faster they learn to read them!

Elf on the shelf 2014 and 2015

 

This little weirdo is due to return anytime now.  

If you read the book that goes along with your little elf your kids should be SCARED!  This little creep is tallying up all the bad things you do and reporting back to Santa.  

 

Not really the way we do it at our house.  Johan (our elf) does make a list.  He makes a list of all the awesome things the kids do.  

 

Then he does fun stuff to make them laugh and reward them for their awesomeness.  

 

So don't fight it, Embrace it!  Get in the spirit and hide that elf! Here's some ideas if you need some inspiration.
