Preschool

Some of my friends who have children close to Andrew's age have decided to start a preschool several months ago,where the moms take turns teaching every week. We all asked our little ones what they would like to learn more about and came up with a great curriculum.

I have already taught twice and I love it. The first lesson was about gardens and my second was about sports. Two subjects that Andrew was very interested in. Dinosaurs, water and colors are the next subjects picked by my little boy and I can't wait to have fun with my preschoolers.

Here is the lesson outline from the sports lesson and some pics with our craft (Bob-- was the name Andrew gave his chia pet) from the garden lesson. He grew beautifully with a little help from Andrew.

Take me out to the ballgame

Take me out with the crowd

Buy me some Peanuts and Crackerjacks

I don't care if I never get back

Oh it's root, root, root for the home team

If they don't win its a shame

For it's 1, 2, 3 strikes you're out

At the old ball game

 Every child  made one chia pet to take home
