The Masquerade Crew

My 6 year old daughter is using the following buttons to study her vocabulary words from this week. We read a book together a few days ago (it's the one to the right), and these were the words I picked out for her to learn. Click on a button to hear the word. Gracie is using it like auditory flashcards. The audio is from Dictionary.com .

After reading one of our library books, I created the following puzzle game with www.educaplay.com . You also have the option of using pictures or audio. I threw it together quickly, so I didn't worry about that. (Sorry about the ad, if you get one. The site is free to use with ads or I could pay to take the ads off. Just trying it out for now. It's $5 a month to take ads off.)

Scotty reads Flip Flop, a step one easy reader. It was fairly easy to do, so I see us doing lots more of these. Great way for him to practice his reading and perhaps build a following on YouTube. He's always wanted to be a YouTuber. Perhaps it will be a great homeschool resource for some families. That would be awesome. Check it out!

I created a picture book for my daughters to use to learn and practice their alphabet. Are you a parent with small children? Do you know any parents with young children? Perhaps you or someone you know will find this book useful. And it's part of Kindle Unlimited, so it could be FREE for you.

Look at this cool little program I just found on Scratch, an MIT project that uses a visual model to code a computer program. This is definitely getting used in our homeschool curriculum. Scotty knows how to type ... somewhat ... but this should get him the rest of the way there.

So ... yeah, we're homeschooling this year.

OK, so here's my first homeschool share. I'll go into more detail later about how we homeschool, but for now I just wanted to share something with you. The following is a mini audio picture book I created for my daughter who is just learning to read. (Click on the page numbers) I simply have the html file on my computer for her to use, so the formatting below isn't exactly what she sees. Guess I'll have to tweak the online version some more. What do you think?
