There was an old lady.....

Bye Bye January - Hello February!

February is extremely busy (good busy) for us. 

So much going on in Homeschool and our social lives! 




We have two versions of this book today and used them for a lesson...


Felt Story Kit







Back in June of 2011, I won a drawing for this adorable Story Felt Kit with book from Education Jump Off (Joyce is a fellow homeschooling mom)  It's SOOO cute and fun.  I read the story and we used the felt kit to animate it all. The girls loved it! 


The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

I have the very first version of the book you pictured... it is a favorite of my children, and the kids I taught used to LOVE IT! We also have "I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie", too. This song is great for sequencing and cumulative ordering -- and just lots of fun! I need to pull it out this week. :-)

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.
