Sight word parking lot


                                                            
   I am currently excited about collecting toilet paper rolls!  I know, your thinking "this girl sure does get excited about strange things."  I believe my About Me page says that I am excited about all things dealing with home schooling. That includes library cards and sometimes even toilet paper rolls!  As you already know, my inspiration often comes from other bloggers.  This time I have found my inspiration on two different blogs. 
   A few weeks ago I made a sight word Parking lot from Juggling with kids.  It is a very clever idea. I wish I could explain it, but its so simple I cant explain it without giving it away.  This blogger came up with the idea, so she deserves your visit.  Please take this moment to check it out. 
OK, did you see it?  I told you it was clever. Mashaila enjoys driving the cars from one word to another.  We still use it occasionally.  But, I would like to take this game to the next level.  I mean that both figuratively and literally!  I found this amazing two story parking lot design made out of two cereal boxes!  Unfortunately, I cant get the link to work.  It was posted on pintrest as coming from www.familyfun.go.com.  Maybe, you will have better luck.  As soon as I can collect four toilet paper rolls, I will build something similar and transform our parking lot into something extraordinary.  Pictures and full directions will be provided right away!
