About the store
My experience has come from homeschooling for 12 years and 3+ years of in depth studying of many different elementary curriculums. I have bought many different materials in search of the best fit for my 5 boys whom I homeschool. I am very excited about my recent spelling curriculum as I have created it myself based on what I believe works. All of the curriculum I bought was not clicking for me. These spelling lists are a whole lot of fun. Word families are not new - however, these lists will teach children to make the connection with letters and words in a fun and creative way. It's complete and will give any child a very solid foundation in spelling and reading. I am also super excited about my multiplication flashcards. I am kind of amazed that nobody has created a concept quite like it. My now 4th grader was learning multiplication the traditional way (LOTS of worksheets). After a couple years of that and still not completely mastering it, I decided to come up with these picture multiplication flashcards. Boys need visual and hands on. The process becomes so simple with these flashcards. My now 2nd grader is using these to master multiplication. I am a stickler on knowing your facts in and out as it is the foundation for learning harder math.

Multiplication is probably the hardest, yet most important math that elementary students need to know. It is also the most overlooked. Multiplication can be fun and easy. This is the absolute best way to introduce and learn multiplication facts. By using this as a matching game or by using a dry erase marker, this will prove to be the easiest way. My now 4th grader did a full workbook of multiplication amongst many other things and he still only mastered his facts half way. My 2nd grader i

This packet consists of 126 reading flashcards that goes over nearly all of the different word patterns in words. This is a very simple way to teach a child to read, or to boost their reading and spelling skills. Just print and laminate the word houses, and then put them on a key ring. You could literally teach a child reading and spelling in 15 minutes a day. To do this, you would just go over 1 card everyday. You could realistically teach a child to read at a 3rd grade level in 25 weeks w

These puzzles were created after doing research on teaching multiplication. The best way to introduce multiplication to early elementary students is by skip counting. This set would be a huge asset to any student or classroom. It is a much more fun, and interactive way to learn multiplication. I am using this as early as 1st and 2nd grade to get a head start on teaching the process of multiplying. When printing this document be sure to set your printer to print on the landscape setting. Yo

They will be able to master these skills in a matter of weeks, allowing you to move ahead quickly with them to harder math concepts.

This is the ONLY way, in my opinion, to teach letter recognition. It is so simple and children pick up on it almost immediately. I call these my “Baby Word Search Puzzles”. My 3 year old is now using this program and is able to learn 1 letter a day. How awesome is that! Young children are able to correlate what each letter is by looking at the top of each flashcard. The larger letters gives them a picture in their mind to be able to find the smaller letters throughout the flashcard. I start out

I created these reference sheets for my now Kindergartner/1st grader. This is a great way for children to learn skip counting in Kindergarten and 1st grade. Laminate these sheets to use as large reference sheets. These cards allow children to visualize and see how skip counting works. If they get stuck on worksheets that include skip counting have them reference back to these. Basically skip counting is just teaching children how to group objects so that they can count them faster or more

I am super excited about this packet. This was created as a means to have a review/practice set that teaches everything to do with place value. Most of the time students are taught basic pieces of place value and are not really taught how to put all the concepts together where they make sense. This starts at nearly a 1st grade level and slowly moves forward into harder concepts of word form, standard form, and expanded form. I recommend laminating the first 12 pages of this packet and putt

Take 5-10 minutes a day to go over one letter. Practice finding and circling the letters on the bottom that match the letter being practiced that day. I use dry erase markers. Each laminated letter has a corresponding worksheet that the student can use to practice writing letters. Help the child

This contains 23 sight word houses to laminate. There are over 300 of the first sight words that we learn. This is a very simplistic way to get a child reading rather quickly. After learning these words a child will be at a 2nd grade level with sight words - all in one set. I printed multiple words on each card so that you don't have to hassle with hundreds of flashcards. This way you can just focus on mastering one list at a time with each child. I use these cards along with the handwriti

There is only enough space to write the words once. I am a huge supporter of less is more. Having them write the words multiple times is tiresome and lessens their focus on what is needing to be retained. These lists will take you up through 2nd grade with sight words/most commonly used vocabulary for these ages. I am us

These flashcards are a great way for pre-k to Kindergartners. Make sure you laminate these letters so they can be used for multiple students. This is a very simple way to teach letter recognition. By playing a fun matching game, which all children love, the child will learn how to match capital letters with the correct lowercase letters. All of my curriculum is built around word building. Word building starts with learning letter recognition and which letters go together. I hope you enjoy!

I am very excited about this complete interactive set of fact family puzzles. This is a simple and fun way to teach children the importance of how numbers fit together. A child that has a handle on fact families is a child who will have a much easier time learning higher levels of math later on. Fact families, believe it or not, are very important when learning pre-algebra. Knowing what numbers go together in equations will help a child solve algebra problems a lot quicker later on. I re

My own education history

I love teaching and learning. I have worked with children and this process for many years in many different settings. I have 2 years of college. My highest level of math was college pre-calculus. I love teaching math, how to read, language arts, and writing. I was going to finish my degree when I became pregnant with our 4th son. Since then I have been buying up and studying tons of different curriculum all to discover that I wasn't thrilled about the majority of them. Since then I have been organizing and creating my own curriculum that WORKS. I absolutely love watching children learn. It is fascinating. Homeschooling is amazing in that it allows every child to move at their own pace. I also love homeschooling because every child is taught to be an individual and that their passion to learn can lead them anywhere they want to go in life.
