Letter Sounds!! ROCKS!!
My followers know that I care for my 2 year old Granddaughter Alice during the week, for my oldest daughter. I want to challenge Alice and keep her little mind stimulated, so we work on our letters, letter sounds, numbers, sight words, games, crafts and puzzles. This kid is already wicked smart!! We have several Rock n Learn dvds that we watch. Alice loves them!! We started with the Alphabet DVD first and she caught on quickly, because the music and characters are thoroughly engaging and fun to watch!! Next we tried the DVD, Sight Words, she is a wiz at her Sight Words!! Holy moly!! I hope I’ll be able to keep up with this kid!!

I have a great challenge for you during the holiday’s. Start making one small change a day, for the sake of the planet. Bring your own mug to the coffee shop, that’s a great change.
