It seems like its hard to find ideas for adoption party themes, especially if you're adopting from foster care.  I've been planning Tadpole's adoption party and looking at all my old Pinterest ideas.  Here are some to consider if you're working on your own foster-to-adopt party.

The kids and I started reading "Little House in the Big Woods" last week for the first time.  They're really enjoying hearing about life in the "old days" and all the ways that things were done differently 150 years ago.  It's been a very special time, too, because we all pile on the parents' bed for reading time and have some quiet time as part of our day.  It's been a great way to reconnect with them.

Multiplication Battleship for Math Practice

Did you know that I take special request?  This free printable was created to fill a need for a follow homeschool mom.  Her kids are working on their times factor and could use some extra practice in a fun way.  She asked me to make her a multiplication battleship game.  After a bit of brainstorming, I had a printable all ready for her. The PDF comes with a printable game board for beginners, with all numbers in order (shown below) and one for more advanced students with the numbers all jumbled.  The printable also includes two half-sheet recording sheets for keeping track of your opponent's ships.  There are also twenty battleships for sinking (extras to make it easier on mom/teacher). I recommend laminating the whole set and using dry erase markers to keep track of the hits and misses.  Boats can be secured to the game board with tape, teacher tack, or velcro. > > > Click HERE to Download the Printable < < < Reminder- this printable is only available for newsl
