Fun homemade flashards

Kids love the game memory. I came up with this easy twist for pre-schoolers by using capitol and lower case letters to match. It really helps them recognize the letters either way they are written. 

I used 3x5 index cards. Fold them in half and cut on the crease. Then wrote a capitol letter on one half and it's lower case on the other half. I used pencil so the kids can't see through the cards when they are laying face down. I also underlined the more confusing letters; W,P,Q,M, etc.
My pre-schooler/kindergartner loves this game and has done very well with her letters.

Teaching through living

Really like what this says. A daily reminder of how we treat out children and others. They are learning by watching and listening to us everyday.

Children Learn What They Live

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.
