I had themes like: colors, shapes, ABCs, the farm, food, bug...something different each week. I love your idea. You're motivating me to get back onto doing it again. :)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17619153520569896825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921291789050090082.post-7228309192834141852010-07-22T16:47:01.582-04:002010-07-22T16:47:01.582-04:00I've worked as a preschool teacher for 6 years...I've worked as a preschool teacher for 6 years. I worked with 2 year olds for 3 years, 3 year olds for 2 years and 4 year olds for 1 year. So there are MANY activities i could suggest but from what you describe I think she really ready for preschool. I'm glad you work with her at home, you'd be surprised how many parents do not work with their children on these basic things. <br /><br />One "game" that i play that ages 3-4 are CRAZY about is really a game to build their pre-math skills. I call it "Whats missing" and i make a HUGE deal about this game. I get about 5 items (more or less depending on the level of the children) you could use the items from her weekly box. I lay out all the items in front of me and we count them together, then we identify each item example(Car, Blue, Starts with C and we do the C sound, the wheels are a Circle) we identify all the items together then i ask how many do we have and they say 5 and i point to each idem they identify it then i put the blanket over all the items and i put my hand under and grab something and move it into my lap where they cant see it. Then I remove the blanket and something magically disappeared and I ask whats missing and they tell me. I ask how many items do we have now and how many DID we have and how many items are missing. I continue the process until there is only one item left. I dont think I've ever had a child that wasnt interested in this game. They get soo excited hopefully E will too!<br /><br />If you have any other questions feel free to email me lasue26@gmail.comLaura Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531079864955461144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921291789050090082.post-62533181426542021782010-07-22T12:03:06.031-04:002010-07-22T12:03:06.031-04:00That is such a great idea!!
