My Favorite Things....Birthday Extravaganza - 4

Day 4

My Favorite Things Birthday Extravaganza"

Always looking for new ways to teach your children?  I know I am. My son is more visual than my daughter and I find that these pocket charts are great!

This one is by Learning Resource and it’s the Word Family Card Set and wall pocket chart. This is a great learning tool for any primary school age child.  The Word Families Card set includes:

·         52 double-sided alphabet cards
·         20 double-sided word family cards
·         40 double-sided word cards

Also included is the wall hanging pocket chart that goes with the cards and the carrying case.



Students can practice rhyming by finding rhyming word cards and sorting them. Alphabet cards have endless possibilities!

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE…..

I am going to use the “B” word here….so plug your ears…

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
