You know you’re a geeky homeschool mom when you look at food on the grocery aisle and the thought pops into your head, “OH Cool! I can use that for spelling class!” 
These new Cheez-It snacks were buy one, get one free this week and I got WAY too excited when I saw them.
It turned out to be so much fun for me and my boys. They love to snack all day so I knew that would be a winner, but I had them either spell a word on their own or read a word I spelled before they could eat them. It really caught on.
One precaution to be aware of is to make sure their hands are clean because they end up digging around, looking for the letter they need to finish their word. However, that’s a small price to pay for some fun and yummy educational moments. The box even has a grid on the back for playing a game of scrabble, but we didn’t get around to that.
In typical boy fashion, Hunter’s first word choice of the day was TURD. Not my proudest mom-moment by far, but of course, when I told my husband he thought it was hilarious.
Faith, you make me proud! As a homeschooling mom, my prayer has always been, “Lord, help me look for teachable moments.” You not only found a treat your boys enjoy, but made learning fun, too.
Now, I wonder…could it be that a homeschooling mom was the one who suggested these to the Cheez-it company?
