Whiz Kids REALLY Does Make Learning Fun!
My 4-year-old daughter Emma is in a Whiz Kids summer Zoo-phonics class in Corona del Mar and when she showed me what she was learning, I was so amazed, I thought I have GOT to do another post on this awesome program! One day at home she started doing the letter sounds and actions and when I saw her galloping around the kitchen island (like a horse!) making a perfect “haa” sound like the letter “H” and being SO excited about it, I thought, WOW, not only was she learning the phonics of the letters, but she was having the BEST time doing it!

If you are interested in this program, they are having a Summer Open House next week where you can go meet the teachers, see the classroom and learn more about their organization. Here is a little more about their program and more details on the Open House…
OC Tide Pooling Tips by OC Mom’s Activity Guide!
This guest blog arrived in my email box last night and I am so grateful it did because I did not have a post ready for today! Emma got hit with a bad respiratory virus early this week, then baby Morgan got it a few days later. Awful! The only thing worse than one sick kid is two sick kids! So thank you Katie from OC Mom’s Activity Guide for saving my day and giving me a fabulous guest post!
