I did find some great sandpaper letters and numbers through etsy a few years ago, and there are many things that I print onto card stock and create works out of myself. <br /><br />the handmade letter combination cards were fun- I plan to do a set with cursive next.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-42088248072714173092015-12-04T21:36:07.616-05:002015-12-04T21:36:07.616-05:00I too enjoy peeks into others' methods/what-ha...I too enjoy peeks into others' methods/what-have-you.

We've just put my daughter into JK (for 4 year olds) and it's alarming how much academics and desk work they are focused on every single day. Where's the play time and exploring?! it's upsetting that parents have so little say in what kids do at school.Ashleynoreply@blogger.com
