I love my kids!  Sometimes the activities they do during their “free time” make me smile.  The other day as I was walking through the dining room the dry erase board caught my attention.  During their free time earlier that day they decided to work on some fun math skills.  They enjoy pretending to teach school to their sibling or stuffed animals.

The best part of this play time is it provides additional learning opportunities for the kids.  They get a chance to practice more of their skills therefore helping them solidify the multiplication facts more clearly.  While they do not do this every time they have free time it is a fairly common occurrence at our house.  I am thankful for kids who love to learn.  Hope they continue to foster that love of learning for their entire life.
