Quiet Time Activities + Read Alouds: The Benefits

Quiet Time Activities + Read Alouds: The Benefits - LiveLoveLearnGracefully

I don't know about you but I love read aloud to my kiddos. I've read to them since before they were born and we haven't slowed down yet. (Check out our February and March read aloud lists.) However as many of you know, kids don't love to sit still for long or ever. So, over the past few years I've found ways to keep them quietly engaged nearby while I read and it works. Quiet time activities and reading aloud can be done simultaneously!  Now that Miss B is in Kindergarten, our read aloud time … [Read more...]

Please be aware that not only will we be discussing the benefits of Smartick, I willalso attempt to show you Briar actually using Smartick Math on her own, and why she enjoys it.

Morning Basket Books for February - LiveLoveLearnGracefully

We started a Morning Basket at the beginning of this school year and have been pretty consistent with it all year. I've changed my method throughout as a way to read more books and stay consistent but the idea has remained the same. We read! Each day whether before breakfast or right after breakfast, the kids get to pick a quiet activity (coloring, play dough, blocks, puzzles, etc.) to play with while I read.
