Home Preschool: Letter D

  We had fun with ducks and dolphins this week.  But mostly, we have been spending a lot of time reading and enjoying the outdoors.  Not too much to share, but I still think I’ll continue with updates.  We are still incorporating Reggio-inspired learning into our home and preschool.  You can read more at these posts: Reggio-inspired…

bugs and other critters

I found a {insert the word gross} beetle on the floor.  I normally would take a tissue and throw it out, or if it’s a spider, I would get out the huge vacuum and get rid of it that way.  Not amused.  I have never liked bugs.  I have never wanted to touch bugs.  I…

preschool books for the letter d

Reading is so important for littles ones.  We try to start and finish our days with reading.  I like to say that if I read to each of my children, both together and individually, than the day is a success! One of the main reasons why we do a letter of the week style preschool…

reggio inspired learning about shapes

I rarely get to see my (almost!) four year old son and my (almost!) two year old daughter playing nicely together.  Dare I say collaborating?  It simply doesn’t happen around here.  Just trying to keep them both alive.  But the more I’ve brought nature into our home, small parts into our play, and allowed their…

reggio inspired preschool math

My son loves counting.  He loves math.  We count things all day.  Legos, spoons, blocks, books, his little sister’s dolls. We try to count to 30 every morning as part of our recitation for home preschool.  We also focus on a number each week.  We place that number in a basket, talk about the number, and…
