Each day we spend about 30 minutes or so doing fun educational activities and games- we practice letters and numbers, and just make things fun! I wanted to record some of the things we've done in the last couple of weeks (Tor this is also for you!! :)).
Let's start with a picture of this pretty girl...
We braved the 90 degree weather (at 10 in the morning no less!) to practice recognizing our numbers playing hopscotch. Hadley didn't really get the concept of hopping from number to number, she just ran around counting and naming them!
I took a book that I had several copies of (from teaching) and we looked through the pages and found different letters. I would ask her to find a letter and she would circle it and she would point out a letter and then look through the whole page to find all of them.
This was a favorite! I put the alphabet up and down the stairs and then we just played lots of games with it. Racing to different letters as fast as we could, singing the alphabet while we climbed the stairs, picking a letter and writing it to see if it looked the same, etc. Two weeks later and the letters are still up!
We do a couple pages in her preschool book each day...
We come up with fun ways to write our letters. With the pudding (we also do jello powder) if she writes it correctly she gets to lick her finger. Yes, not super clean or sanitary but we wash our hands before so hey, oh well!
Letters in salt!
We made name caterpillars for everyone in our family. She traced some of the letters for each one! She loved this one too!
We are having so much fun doing these things, but it has made me realize one thing... I could NEVER homeschool her :) Love her to pieces, but no!
