Today’s independent work for 1st grade and preschool was Explode the Code and a Pencil Control workbook. My 2 year old colored on a custom coloring sheet I made with AI.

I have included other independent work ideas.

These are great back to school ideas for kids too!

This morning’s line up for the Christian Mom! This is my second time reading Raising Boys to Men and it is such a wonderful read. Straight to the point and full of so much wisdom from a mom who has “done it”.

I am also on my second read of The Power of Habit and a 3rd read of Valor. They are both full of so much wisdom worth mastering

Air dry clay pumpkins are super simple, minimal mess, and make fun decorations!

We created our pumpkins today using air dry clay and toothpicks. We made loops in our stems so they can be strung together when they dry!

We mixed different colors of orange with beige, brown, and yellow so our pumpkins would be different shades of orange!
