Well, little man is officially four years old! How time flies….

Hey, we just launched the ToddlerScholar.com Group (forum) on education.com.

      Onguardonline.gov has tips that can help you stay safe while online.

Today’s predators are present in every community-online and off.

Be Safe!

Earlier today, I asked my son, Sovereign…”Can you spell cat?”-and don’t you know he spelled it!? I responded by saying “That was awesome, Sovereign!” - thinking that would be the end of it but….NOOOOO….mommie! The next thing I heard from him was “Can you spell….?” and he waited for me to give him another word. So I obliged…and he spelled that one too! This went on for about 20 minutes -He playful ran around, until I gave him the next word. This little wonder spelled cat, dog, up, the, ran, sun, box, bat, rat, that, mat, map, sit,mom, happy, are….and a few other words that I can’t recall.

As he spelled each word, I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. To tell you the truth, I almost cried. I knew that he could use his magnets to spell words (even large words like paramount, Monday, universal, etc.) but this was the first time he spelled words for me. I guess this was his first spelling bee!!! Priceless….

Anytime I am feeling a bit overwhelmed… I either pray or this “little learning wonder” gives me “a little bit of inspiration” by doing or saying something amazing. 

I have started compiling the little things we do to help him learn…. and will post it hear soon….may it inspire more toddlerscholar’s… big and small!

If you have little ones (under 12) Glubble may become your partner in what I like to call “operation keep my child safe online.”

You must have thebrowser. If you don’t have it learn more about it and get it here!

Once you have downloaded FIREFOX, download Glubble!

Sovereign, start testing/using Glubble this week.

I am looking for a graphic artist to create our ToddlerScholar logo.
