I am a professional Nerf Bullet Dodger who LOVE creating activities, games, and printables for kids of all ages.

When great grandma stayed with us for a month, she looked at our five sons playing and doing “school” at home and she declared, “Gosh! This is just like my one room classroom!”

Grandma taught hundreds of kids in a small one room school in the middle of the cornfields in Iowa for years and she just adored having kids of all ages around.

Her advice?

  • Teach the older kids.
  • Keep the younger kids close by and you’ll be shocked at how much they absorb.
  • Get a sand/water table to engage the youngest.
  • Keep the kids moving and using their hands.

If you’re new to homeschooling, rather than trying to grab everything all at once, I’d recommend you start here.

I have a free printable for you!
