This fall I am hoping to set up an area in our home where we will spend time learning. We are going to be moving upstairs in my in-laws place and there is a space that is perfect. I don't have the money to be spending on Curriculum and since they are only 2 and 3.5 years old I think that might be a bit of overkill in the first place :p So I thought I would start a blog so that I had a place to brainstorm and keep track of things that I am planning.
The Title:
I called this blog Pre-school for Legends because of the names we gave our kids: Zelda and Zorro. Both of them are pretty Legendary. ;)
Goals for Pre-School:
1) Spend planned time with my kids
2) Teaching them things that they will need to know for school and life
3) Teaching them about the Bible and Memorize scripture together.
Ideas for things to teach:
1) Numbers
-Recognition
-Counting objects with accuracy
2) Calendars
-Concepts of Day, Month, Year
-Seasons
-Remember important Birthdays and Holidays.
3) Reading and Writing
-Read a lot of Stories with them
-Name recognition
-Letter Recognition
-Phonics
-Fine Motor skills for writing
4) Science and Nature
-Teaching them about the plants and trees that they see on the yard.
-Teaching Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
-Basic experiments
-Compare things. (weight, size ect...) this would also be math
5) Art
-Colours (recognition and mixing)
-playing with different materials to create.
-Gifts and Cards.
