I have also been doing...This is such a great site! I have also been doing activities and such with my two and four year old for some time now. Some things they love are individual dry erase boards to practice writing (sock eraser):). I have several shapes and colors hanging in their toy room, they use a pointer and everyday at calendar time, after songs, I ask them to find specific shapes and colors. The alphabet is hanging along the top of the wall, along with numbers 0-9 and we do thsoe each day too. Not only do we have our calendar, but they have another that they can put the numbers on and activities on their own. I have made a song box. I have lots of nursery rhymes and songs on index cards that I have had laminated. They love to pick out their favorite cards to sing. They enjoy using the pointer to locate the color/shape. I have some poems for different themes that we say regularly. They also enjoy magnetic letters on cookie sheets, and of course shaving cream:). With our apple unit I have three apple trees that I made while student teaching. They go on the wall and they place the correct colored apples on each tree. Then we can discuss things like which color apples do we have the most of, the least, how many of each, how many more, less, etc. I also made a few graphs on the computer so after we go to the apple orchard this fall we will taste each apple and fill out the charts; our favorites, how they taste, etc. I have a larger dry erase board in the toy room with a letter in the center and we write words and draw pictures that start with that letter around it (whenever we think of a new one we add it):). I have lots of preschool workbooks and activities that I have made copies of and made foldders for each of them. I am so sorry for the book! I just thought I would share some of my ideas, even though they are all over the place! I was just very excited to find your site! It's so nice to find others that are as excited as I am to educate their children and have fun doing it!!:)Aubreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197809670591896593.post-41611142845546108392012-08-23T10:28:44.784-04:002012-08-23T10:28:44.784-04:00As a homeschooling momma, I love reading about wha...As a homeschooling momma, I love reading about what you are doing.
