Free Printable Worksheets for Kindergarten!

We recently released Jiemba & Friends and we are celebrating by giving away FREE printables to go with the book!

The worksheets are perfect for preschool and kindergarten kids, plus a few that are geared toward older elementary school.

Our Crazy Homeschool Life recently shared Jiemba & Friends with her boys. Here is her review:

It’s hard to keep the attention of my 5 year old at times unless the book draws him in. Not only was he glued to it, but the book created a great conversation about culture, geography, and friendship. My kinder enjoyed a fun story while learning some new vocabulary in the process — always a win-win!”

Each week a new free printable is emailed out on Tuesday.

The Heat Is On

Like many of you, I’m sweltering through a historic heatwave plaguing the Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountains. By July 4th, my hometown in Montana  has already had more 90+ degree days than we used to have all summer. As the heat dries out forests, wildland fires will follow. We know the pattern. As a wildlife biologist, I take the scientific consensus seriously. Along with habitat destruction, pollution, and human exploitation of plants and animals, climate change is now a leading threat to life on Earth.
