Eye exercises

April 23, 2018 by heatherss 3 Comments

I had to laugh at the expression the optometrist was using: "Eye push ups!" Well, apparently that's what we are doing. Lots of eye exercises. It all started a while back when Nicky had a vision screening at his school. A report came back that said there were issues with accommodation, convergence … [Read more...]

So… we have sensory issues..

March 11, 2018 by heatherss 7 Comments

It is never easy to receive some negative information about your child and it's even harder to write about it. This whole thing has been rather like a dark cloud hanging over me, until we decided to do something about it.

A Bit of Counting…

October 8, 2015 by heatherss 5 Comments

I don't know what happened to "One, two, three!" or if these are just his favourite numbers (could be, since he likes his Ben Ten pants and calls them "Nine, ten!") but there and then I decided it was high time we … [Read more...]

Can concrete materials ever be replaced by screen applications? The short answer is no, but they sure are a great compliment to the learning process. I was asked by Sverve to do a review of Kids Academy Company application. I had actually already downloaded their Traceable Letters app. I often … [Read more...]

Montessori Baby

August 20, 2013 by heatherss 23 Comments

Some of you may remember that I am a qualified Montessori teacher (at Pre-school level). However, I’ve been pretty slack when it comes to using all the skills that I should be. I haven’t given him the room with the mattress on the floor with the mirror. I haven’t been making materials for him to … [Read more...]

Book Review: How to teach your baby to read

October 4, 2012 by heatherss 3 Comments

If you're wondering what's with all the book reviews lately, it's because I went to that sale again where they sell books by the kilogram.
