lovin' preschool

 We've been slowly but surely working on more preschool. We took a huge break when we moved and it's been really hard to get organized enough to get started. Organize the actual materials, organize the room and get our daily schedule lined up. Huge undertaking! But we finally did it! The boys were really excited. We've been doing our weekly preschool class with our Co-Op but they really missed our daily routine and preschool activities.

Jonah still enjoys reading his BOB books (love Costco!) and Henry is starting to get interested in them. I've been reading the beginner set with him so we should be ready to go for the fall when he can start learning to read.  I found some really great printables to go along with his current set of BOB books. They are really great to introduce and reinforce the words he reads in each book. If you're interested, check out 3 Dinosaurs.

 This was a super cute game I found to teach counting, using a dice and subtracting. They LOVED it!! Seriously. They asked to play it everyday that week. (We do a different letter each week.) It was really simple and we could all play it together or they could each just play with me.

Another huge favorite is the "Poke Page". It's just the letter we are working on, taped to a piece of styrofoam. Then they poke the outline of the letter with a toothpick. Simple, easy and fun. The best way to learn! If you're interested in this puppy, check out Confessions of a Homeschooler.
