Everyone may already know about this site, but it’s new to me. It’s called Sheppard Software. It’s home to hundreds of games on all subjects. There are activities for pre-schoolers, as well as math, geography, science, history, health and puzzles!! My family is loving it. It’s been a great way to supplement math – you …

She also asks lots of questions! She loves to organize and sort things. Here’s how she sorted our alphabet cards today — …
