Homeschooling Preschool

So the school year has started again, daddy is back at work and me and the kids are having fun at home!  Since I am not working we had no money to send Kailyn to preschool so we are trying some homeschooling.  Yes, it is as difficult as I thought to teach my own child.  Today we were talking about the letter B, I thought it would be fun to find things in the house that started with B.  Kailyn thought scooting around on the floor would be more fun.  I gave up on the activity but not to longer later I walk into Braeden’s room and she has a pile of things she found in his room that starts with the letter B.  She did a great job on her own.  I guess she is teaching me a lot too; I have to adjust my teaching to fit her!  She loved finding all those things on her own! 

Sidewalk chalk shapes, letters, and numbers game

I have not written a post in awhile but know that I have no job and no school, I am finding some more time to do these things.  I was thinking the other day I wanted to blog about educational activites I am doing with my daughter and how I like them.  This are all ideas I get from Pinterest but never know if they go over as well as they say.  This has been a winner of an activity at our house.  We have played it twice in the past two weeks.  I made a circle using letters,shapes, or numbers.  I call out a shape and she jumps to it, we do this for awhile and switch places.  She loves calling them out to me and sometimes I mess up to keep her on her toes.  She has even added her own twist by using it like hopscotch and tossing a pebble to a spot and that is where I have to go. She also likes to help write out the letters and shapes.  Make it your own and have fun!  Below is a picture of latest game. Look for some more posts coming soon with other great ideas!
