Reading with your child always results in a home run!

The Sandlot

Baseball season is in full swing!  The first official game was played on June 19, 1846.  Celebrate with some baseball movies.  These three movies are classified as family movies but preview or check reviews before sharing with your children. 

 

Fun with Flags

Happy Flag Day!

PLAY BALL!

The origins of baseball goes back hundreds of years.  Historians date the first official baseball game was played on June 19, 1846 in Hoboken, New Jersey.  Start planning to celebrate!  Invite family and friends over for hot dogs, peanuts, Cracker Jacks and backyard game of baseball.  Keep it simple and fun!

desperately important.

I'll Be Right Here ♡

E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial began showing in theaters on June 11, 1982.  This gives you a week to plan some out of this world fun for your family and friends. I know it's a weekday but it's summer!  Pop some popcorn, grab some Reese's Pieces and enjoy this classic Steven Spielberg movie with your family and friends.  Want to go all out?  Set up your 'theater' under the stars!

Elmer the Elephant @ Target

Strolling through Target, I spotted (pun intended) these plates and napkins.  I picked up for our Elmer unit for the 2014-2015 school year!
