Back to School Picks

Whether you have kids going off to school or you are getting ready to kick off your home school year, these books are my picks for home library must haves!

Phonics Readers Ted and Friends
I love Ted and Friends because it is a combined volume, (man stories in one!) which gives you more bang for your buck. It is perfect for the child who is learning to read.

 
Preschool Activities Animal Fun
My preschooler loves this one! Simple art projects making animals. 
Children's Encyclopedia 
A reference must have. It is internet linked, which means it is linked to thousands of other resources and activities for continued learning. 

 
First Encyclopedia of the Human Body
I love all of the "First Encyclopedia" books because they are wonderfully illustrated and inexpensive!









Illustrated Elementary Science Dictionary
I love all of the "Elementary Dictionary" books because they are inexpensive and packed with great information! 
Complete Book of Art Ideas
Ideal for anyone who is homeschooling and needs some art project ideas! Or for any student who loves art!

What Does the President Look Like? 
I love this book because it is a journey through the stages of media and technology development while also teaching about different presidents. 

Wipe Clean Writing & Learning Books
Both of my kids are entertained with this Wipe Clean books. I love that they also learn how to write letters and numbers, and draw shapes while they "play." 
See Inside Science 
LOVE all the "See Inside" books. Kids love to open the flaps and they are packed with interesting facts. 
From Pie Town to Yum Yum 
If your child is leaning geography this year, they will love this book full of fun facts. Did you know that there is a city called Yum Yum in the U.S.? This book is also a great companion for cross country road trips! 

Spanish Flashcards

I love using flash cards with my kids. I also love that they play with them on their own...educational entertainment, yes please! 
My First Big Book Number
This book helps children learn numbers AND it comes with a pen that lights up and makes noises to indicate right or wrong answers! An interactive adventure for toddlers and preschoolers. Can't wait to give it to my daughter!

Math Learning Wrap Ups - Subtraction, Addition, Division & 
Multiplication
Keep your math student busy in the car with these great math puzzles! 


True Stories of the Second World War
Love this one for students who are studying the war this year.
