Fun With LEGO Mini Figures - Create Your Own Mini Fig Printable

 The LEGO obsession continues in our home.  

I've written about LEGO organization and now I'm working on some LEGO printable activities.  Thank goodness for my LEGO Pinterest board, where I can keep all the wonderful ideas I find organized! 

In our homeschool co-op this semester I am teaching a LEGO class to twelve second and third grade children.   What fun we are having!   

This week is going to be "Mini-Fig Week".   They will each be receiving their very own Series 5 minifigure and we will also be playing a game with our minifigures.  In addition, I will give them this handy dandy Create Your Own Mini-Fig printable to color.

Get Rich Reading - free Printable

You know I'm a huge fan of reading children!

I've created a printable for you - "Get Rich Reading".   This details the incentive program I'm using with our children this year, and how you can use it, too.

It includes the Get Rich Reading notebook covers (one for a boy and one for a girl) and a reading log.    Hopefully it will inspire your children (if they aren't already!) to READ, READ, READ!

To download this printable, simply go to the Homegrown Learners' Facebook page and click on the "Only for Likers" tab.  Once there, you will be able to download this printable!  

Harry Potter Notebooking - Happy Birthday JK Rowling!

 It's so exciting to be able to write about JK Rowling.  You know, her birthday is July 31, and if you visit the iHomeschool Network you will see all kinds of birthday lessons for the month of July.   It might be fun to go through these lessons with your children for some "summer schooling".

I have JK Rowling to thank for my daughter's love of reading.  No matter your thoughts about the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling has inspired a GENERATION of children to read.   

My children and I have worked quite hard to bring you a Harry and Friends Notebooking Pages download.  Stick around until the end of the post for the link!
