the 3 year old to the mix that makes it the challenge even if it were a 5 and 3 year old it would be more of a challenge younger children need more help than older children older children can work quickly and they want to do so especially children who go to school in school projects are made quickly so how do you make learning time work when you have a younger child who needs help step by step and older children who want to fly through the activity there are a couple of ways you can do it here are some tips to make the whole activity more enjoyable for you fewer what now mom mom and so on it will also help you to have less time where a child is just sitting and waiting to know what to do next take turns we start learning time out each day with our learning poster and our calendar i quickly learned that i needed to instruct the older children to not blurt things out when i say what shape is this i instructed them to wait to be called on i ask a different child each day about different aspects of the learning poster i try to make the questions suit their skills so my three year old gets asked what the number is while my seven year old is asked to give me two parts that make up that number what are two parts make that up the number seven 5 and 2 i don t want my three year old to be sitting in the room while her siblings blurt out answers faster than she can think about the question i want her to have the chance to think have a sample made this is something teachers do in school they have a finished product made to show the children before they start this really helps children have a vision for what you are trying to accomplish if your activity is one where you want some creativity be sure to stress that this sample is your project and that the child is free to do xyz to their own project if you have gotten your idea from the internet or a book you can show your child a picture from that source instead of making your own ahead of time give a list of instructions walk through the entire process with your children or at least as far as you think they can remember on their own this will work for older children who will be moving at a faster pace the 3 year old or younger will most likely need you to provide one step at a time don t stress down time what we are trying to do is avoid long periods of down time but it is not a bad thing to have some down time learning to wait patiently is a skill in and of itself so don t stress if your child ends up needing to wait for a few minutes while you finish helping another sibling you just don t want constant waiting and constant down time that leads to boredom and possibly creativity being channeled in ways you don t prefer have enough supplies have enough supplies on hand that a child isn t sitting and waiting for long periods while other children use a certain supply i try to have a tool per child so each child has his her own glue stick crayons scissors etc there are things however that must be shared due to economics and my lack of desire to fill my house with 3 different collections of things like glitter have more than one activity this is something i really focus on for my children i like to have a few activities ready to go one will be some sort of art project that i know my three year old will take longer to complete than my seven year old others will be activities i can have my seven year old do after he is done with his project this can be sorting activities sensory boxes math worksheets reading etc posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels multiple children organization successful learning monday december 5 2011 how i do it learning time on one of my other blogs i have been doing a series on how i do various things in my day here is my post on how i do learning time i thought it was appropriate here learning time at our house is something that has definitely grown over the years i remember talking to one of my very best friends when brayden was two she was a school teacher before becoming a mom a very good one and we have been friends since elementary so she knows me well we were talking about what brayden knew and didn t and i expressed that he couldn t do something all the way yet and she laughed and said it was a 3 year old skill and not to worry about it she commented that he would of course be fine because of all that i did with him i told her i didn t do anything beyond normal stuff you do with children she then listed off all of these things i did with him daily that helped him learn things i had never thought of as teaching him just things you did with kids one example is reading with him each day two days ago my sister in law was asking me how i structure learning time and she commented that she should have started long ago with her oldest who is two i assured her she was fine i didn t start formal learning time with brayden until i was pregnant with mckenna so he was 3 i share that with you to impress upon you that learning time does not need to be formal and i also don t want this post to cause you stress about not having done something with your child yet this is how i do learning time right now but not how i did it 5 years ago don t underestimate the power of playing with reading to and working beside your child if you want to add more formal setting for your child this can be a great structured playtime slot in your day here is how i do it organize your stuff an important step to having successful learning time with your child is to organize your actual stuff you ll have paints crayons paper sequins string saved paper towel rolls lots of stuff you need somewehre to put it there are tons and tons of different ways to do this some people can have an actual room that is used for learning activities in their home in it they can have drawers closets shelves etc full of their items other people like me do not have a room dedicated to a toy room and or learning room we do our crafty stuff in the kitchen for the most part i have our items organized into totes i then have these totes primarily in the office closet which is close to the kitchen i used to keep the items all downstairs in a nice big closet space wise it worked great but proximity wise it was annoying to me i didn t like going all the way downstairs each day for our learning stuff i know my life is so hard sense sarcastic tone but it was annoying enough that i would put off doing learning activities so i recommend you keep your items as close to where you will do your activities as possible here is the section of my closet in my office for the learning items i also recently dedicated a drawer in my kitchen to learning items we have all of our crayons pencils pens markers etc in it my children all love to color so i can grab a paper and hand them crayons to keep them occupied at the bar while i make dinner i keep all of my laminated items for my learning poster i describe below letters numbers shapes calendar items etc in envelopes and i keep those envelopes in an accordion file organizer i also keep anything that can fit in there that has to do with learning stuff here are some more organization ideas learning boxes storage magnetic letters face out book shelves tutorial storing kids crafts work boxes think of learning ideas another important step to doing learning activities is to think of ideas to do this is such an easy step in our modern world there are fun books out that give you ideas the toddler s busy book preschooler s busy book and the siblings busy book there is also an untold number of blogs in the internet that give you ideas i will of course plug the one i write with a few other moms children s learning activities as you do these regularly you will find that you start to come up with your own fun ideas of things to do plan your week i think you will get the most from your time spent if you plan out your week ahead of time i really like to do a theme each week i got into this habit in following the curriculum on this blog http www ourpreschoolhomeschool blogspot com i loved the set up and we have continued this way while creating our own themes and ideas each week i pick a theme vocabulary word nursery rhyme letter shape color number and scripture to focus on then i plan my activities around those ideas in addition to activities that teach those items i try to do sensory gross motor fine motor sorting and matching and science we also read books that are related to our theme this might sound super over whelming but a lot of these can be combined with each other if it all seems like too much just start small and work your way up i use one of two different documents i have made for planning this one is detailed and has one week per page this one is my quick planning sheet i use this one most of the time it has two weeks per page on it once i have the week s activities planned i make a list of things to do to prep for our activities for example we recently did a week on thanksgiving one project we did was a mayflower shape picture to prepare for this i created the shapes to use in the picture i then make a list of things i need to buy to do any of our activities prepare for activities now that you have everything planned you need to prepare i find this is easiest to do all ahead of time i take a couple of hours ideally the friday or saturday before the next week starts but sometimes i am doing it on monday of the week we are doing the theme to prep everything i print my learning poster items make sure the calendar is ready and prep activities i also need to go shopping sometimes to get some things to do activities i also prepare my face out book shelves i put the books that go with our theme on the shelves if i have extra space on my shelves i put other books i want to encourage the children to read at the time do the activities now is the execution we used to always do this in the morning hours but right now i do not have a consistent or ideal time to do it my problem is i want kaitlyn involved in it all but that is rather silly becaus she is at preschool three days a week so yesterday i decided i need to have a set time and on certain days she just wont be around but there are some activities i know the older kids brayden and kaitlyn will just love so we do it after brayden gets home from school here is our process we start with our learning poster see this post for more on it we discuss our theme and the vocabulary word we then recite the nursery rhyme we then talk about the letter the sound it makes and words that start with that letter we then do the color and shape we finish up the poster with our number of the week we count to that number i have printed and laminated a picture of each on monday we put each item in place as we go along we then do our calendar see this post for more information about our calendar we say the day friday the month december and the date second with the year 2011 we put the number for the day on the calendar we then talk about the weather outside and put up the appropriate picture we then read and recite our scripture we read a story we pick a story that coincides with our theme for the week and read it we do our activity s sometimes we move right into this other times we wait until after lunch or after brayden is home from school aftermath one thing i recommend is that you take a picture of the creation right away that way you can either save the best and you have a photo before it is smashed or you can throw it away after you have displayed it for a while you can t save everything i always hang my children s latest up on our refrigerator they love to see it up there so find somewhere in your home you can display your children s artwork i have more ideas in my head for this hopefully it will come to pass so i can share conclusion if you want to do a learning time each day but this all seems overwhelming it is okay to start small we we first started we just did the learning poster side of things without an extra activity make this work for your family i would love to hear how you do it how do you organize how do you plan and prepare how do you execute posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels organization wednesday august 24 2011 learning boxes you can make learning time very simple by having a learning box set up this makes gathering common supplies very easy and also creates a situation where you can teach your child some personal responsibility and help her learn about cleaning up after herself when a project is finished this is a great time of year to buy these supplies since stores have them on super sale you simply buy a pencil box we got ours at walmart for 50 cents each then you either buy or put in the supplies you want we did crayons scissors a pencil an eraser pencil erasers are the first to go and a glue stick brayden also has a ruler then being the nerd i am i whipped out my label maker and put their names on each box these are great for learning time at home and also for a child who is doing homework everything is in one neat box you could even stock extra supplies in it ahead of time if you knew you would be using extra things like glitter tape etc posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels organization tuesday august 2 2011 storage magnetic letters i used to have the hardest time keeping up with all those miniature things you use to help teach the kiddos you know all the things you use to practice sorting counting moving stacking and patterning
