THOUGHT FOR TODAY – WORDWORLD

There’s a great new show for preschoolers premiering this Labor Day.

This Labor Day, preschoolers can step into a world where words truly are the stars of the show. "WordWorld," debuting Sept. 3, 2007 on PBS KIDS® (check local listings) and backed in part by funding from the U.S. Department of Education, encourages 3- to 5-year-olds to engage in wordplay.

"WordWorld" playfully brings words to life through patent-pending methodology that embeds words into the objects they represent. In each episode, children will join WordFriends™ - Dog, Sheep, Frog, Duck, Pig and Ant.

Humor abounds, such as when Frog mistakenly rolls an "S" onto the end of his bed only to dramatically learn about the power of plural words! In these word-building moments, preschoolers acquire key literacy-based skills, from compound words and word families, to rhyming and plurals.

I’ll keep you posted as I learn more information about this exciting show!


DEAL OF THE DAY

Amazon.com is offering instant rebates on lots of grocery products including $25 off a purchase of $49 or more of ConAgra Foods. If your little ones love Chef Boyardee products- this sale is amazing!

Check them all out at Amazon Grocery Rebates

There’s a bunch of snacks for back to school and discounts of up to 70% too.

Don’t miss out on these great deals. Most will be disappearing soon and the products are flying off the virtual shelves.

FUN STUFF

There's a new website that caught my eye in the Bzz Frogpond - super cool! It's Makeover-o-Matic. You can give yourself a new style and check out the results before making any mistakes.

Go on... Try it! You're going to have fun!
