While we were on vacation, we realized that a particular street we would be driving on was only a block away from All About Learning headquarters. (Thanks, Beckie!)

And the boys, well, they wanted to meet Ziggy’s family.

Ziggy has a pet turtle.

We also were able to sneak a peak into this week’s All About Learning Freebie (which I downloaded and printed this  morning).  Meet Andy (and thank Andy).

We saw  your books being packed.  And maybe we snuck a surprise or two in there. 

The boys picked out new stickers.  Because we adore stickers around here.  In fact, just yesterday a certain third grader was a bit miffed that we didn’t finish his All About Spelling Level 3 work . . . he wanted to affix a sticker to his reward chart.

It was an exciting moment to arrive at the All About Learning headquarters because a HUGE shipment has just arrived.  We learned that All About Learning is published locally. 

I admired how artistic the All About Reading bags looked as they were airing out. 

We concluded our tour with a visit to Marie Rippel’s office. 

Naomi basically made herself at home.

But she was captured in the nick of time.

I ogled over the quilt Marie and her mom sewed.

I had already met Marie in person nearly two years ago and immediately liked her then.

Now that I have visited the headquarters, experienced All About Learning headquarters hospitality, chatted with the people behind the scenes . . .

It only affirms my choice in using All About Learning for our phonics and reading in our schoolroom.
