Hey Mama Monday: Creative Ways to Teach Math and Science, Mama

Creative science and math? I am not that creative. But I have found that science and math often go hand in hand. Kids love science experiments, and they often have elements of math included, such as amounts and percentages and time. And, math will often include scientific data such as graphs and estimates.

Speech and Debate: Try a Mock Trial for Civics, Mama

Hey Mama, Don’t know what it’s like at your house, but sometimes the speeches and debates at my house are “discussions” about rules and chores the kids don’t want to do.

Hey Mama Monday: What Are YOU Reading? Children Follow by Example, Mama

Let them catch your love of reading and model your reading behavior. Seems so easy. Not always. It works for most kids. Then there are those who don’t love to read. Maybe it’s physically hard for them to read, they have a learning disability, or maybe it’s just not something they enjoy doing. I had
