It’s Currently August!

Seriously August?? Did you have to get here so fast??

Linking up with Farley!

Trying to stick to that “before midnight” thing so I’m going to keep this short and sweet! (And I want to look up recipes for the pasta salad I had earlier before I go to bed!!)

    lol…Love your listening…too funny! I agree, I have a bad habit of staying up way too late during vacations, often times even later than midnight. I told my self I have to try to get back on a real schedule starting Monday. We will see how that goes. Pasta salad sounds good, I have not had any in a long time. I may have to go look up a recipe too. Enjoy the last little bit of your summer!

Have you used @playosmo at home or in your classro Have you used @playosmo at home or in your classroom??

We were lucky enough to be gifted this Little Genius Starter Kit and it is the coolest thing ever! My 4 year old is hooked and I love that she's learning while playing on the iPad. ➡️ Swipe to check out the letter formation game she was working on.

From phonics and numbers to storytelling and coding, there are so many games, activities and kits to choose from! There's even a Disney Frozen activity kit that I may already have hidden away for Hanukkah!

Osmo would be the perfect addition to any classroom too (especially if you already have an iPad!) I could see this being used during reading or math centers. How would you use Osmo in your classroom??
