I had awesome intentions of telling you guys about this over School Break, but Sickness, Christmas, Painting, Moving, Sickness again hit and before I knew it we were almost half way through January and I still haven't posted about it. So, let's just call this very early Spring Break planning! ;)
Jordyn loves to learn and Cullyn loves to be doing whatever Jordyn is doing, so while I was on Etsy searching for some Christmas gifts, I came across a Felt Matching Game from AllTheTimeLearning. It seemed like the perfect thing because it allowed Jordyn to work on identifying numbers {out of order} and matching them with the corresponding number of dots and also helped Cullyn learn to count quantity {how many dots are on this one?} versus counting continuously like he normally does {think 1 to 20 without stopping}
Shortly after the Matching Game arrived, Diane emailed me asking if I wanted to try her eLearning Series for Preschoolers. I knew it was the perfect thing to work with the kids on over Christmas Break {almost 3 weeks} Diane is a homeschooling mom for 25 years and gave all kinds of advise on teaching methods for different learning styles which is perfect because Jordyn loves to learn and likes a structured, quite learning environment but Cullyn is all boy and while he is very smart, he cannot sit still for very long at all. I really liked her 'Rocking Chair Method' for Cullyn.
She emailed me several sets of learning activities and we just did a few pages each day {we aren't done yet}. I love how you an use the same sheets in different ways depending on the age/skill level. I didn't do it at first, but after a week or so I decided to laminate the worksheets so Jordyn can keep doing them {I'm telling you, the kid loves to learn} And judging by the way she acts around her brother during 'school time', she has a good chance of becoming a teacher. :)
