Lazy 5 Ranch with my oldest. ❤️🦒
Meet our two newest little buddies, Mr. Tumnus and Lucy! They were born on Tuesday and get to come home to the Shankstead in about a month!
We’ve started keeping a simple reading journal for longer Read Alouds. It feels satisfying to look back and remember what we’ve read and what we loved about each book. It’s also a great way to practice handwriting! Sometimes I draw something for her to color and sometimes I print out a picture that goes with the story. For now I just write the words and let her trace. Then she dictates what her favorite part was, but I look forward to her writing on her own! #homeschoolpreschool #thebookbuilthomepreschool #bbhpreschool
After our “interesting” veggie garden last year that involved too much rain, not enough time, and tomatoes growing in the flowerbed, we are trying the Square Foot Gardening approach this time. Hats off to my hubby who did all the planning and measuring and to our two cute little helpers! #welcometotheSHANKSTEAD #squarefootgardening #thebookbuilthomelovesgardening
Is 9:00 too early for bed?! Excited to finish reading this book by my dear friend and former coworker!! I can’t wait to start using some of her ideas in our home. Happy release day, @jessica.smartt #memorymakingmom
Loved this book! Reading aloud to our kiddos is the most important thing we can do to help them on their own reading journey. If you’ve read Jim Trealease’s Read Aloud Handbook, you will like this one as well! There are lots of great ideas for “games” to play to encourage beginning readers. She advocates a different path to literacy than most of us have learned. This path begins with whole books, then whole words, then phonics. So inspirational from beginning to end. ❤️ 📚
