I have found a lot of great stuff available online for free. One favorite for math are the activities at:<br />http://www.k-5mathteachingresources.com/kindergarten-number-activities.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-57118238888158950832011-01-20T09:44:01.480-06:002011-01-20T09:44:01.480-06:00So odd that you just posted this, Rita!

I will probably give up on photography for awhile, but it will be worth it. I will go and look at Math Mammoth!

It has become big business and the marketing techniques make you think this a lot more complicated than it is. <br />Work hard, love much, and don't let it become the project that eats up the your life.

Kids that age--esp. boys--need some time to be KIDS!! I have done my share of curriculum-hopping...I joke that my now-kindergartner will have the perfect education because I'll have learned from her older siblings. Good luck with math! We are using Bob Jones for math right now, but there are so many other great things out there too like the one you mentioned.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808679812939188136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-90080896182105254492011-01-19T12:07:02.145-06:002011-01-19T12:07:02.145-06:00Wow Just in time!!

I was so overwhelmed and feeling like the simple math we're trying to do right now is not really clicking in her brain. I'm so excited you mentioned this!!!
