From flowers to chocolate and jewelry to special dinners, Valentine’s Day really is a celebration! As the the dinner is long gone, the flowers begin to wilt, and the chocolate has been eaten, I encourage you to repurpose those candy boxes into Valentine’s Day candy box games for little learners.

Thank You Notes
It seems that thank you notes are a thing of the past for most people. They might argue that they cost too much. Some might say they just aren’t necessary. Others see them as a waste of resources…as in “they’ll just wind up in the trash anyway.” I beg to differ. I am glad that thusfar

Books About The Olympics
This is a list of books appropriate for younger readers about The Olympics. However, I will say…I learned a lot by reading them myself! They are probably more juvenile nonfiction than picture book, but I think elementary kids would find them interesting. I have typically been providing ten books in my book lists, but recently
