Free Before Five in a Row Resources

I heard about Five In A Row and Before Five in a Row a few years ago from another homeschool mom. I know she has used FIAR for the last 2-3 years, but now has a harder time finding the free resources since Homeschool Share reorganized their website and got rid of the B4FIAR and FIAR resource page. I know other mom’s who would love to be able to find resources that are current and FREE!

Wacky Wednesday- USA State Quarters and USA Map

What is Wacky Wednesday? Last year we created WACKY WEDNESDAY to help us get over hump day and try to remember to do something fun and unusual on Wednesdays. Not every Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday, but we try to do something a little crazy or nature-oriented.

This version of Wacky Wednesday we went a little crazy with state quarters, maps and puzzles! If the weather is cold outside and you need something fun to do inside try learning where the states are and their capitals by playing games and doing various activities.

I printed off a USA map and then the kids matched the quaters to the map. Once that was done we highlighted the states we had as we put the quarters away! This made it much easier to take a picture on our phones and when we ran into people who had quarters for us we could check to see if we still needed them. (Hint:Grandma’s have been the best resource so far. Followed by dad’s retail job:)
