showing posts with label planning show all posts monday september 27 2010 home made calendar doing a daily calendar is a great way to help teach your children about days of the week and help them grasp things like yesterday and tomorrow and two weeks i made this one very inexpensively it is far from perfect but good enough for us i got a piece of poster board from the dollar store as well as some numbers you could also print the numbers off i then put a grid for the calendar days then i wrote the days of the week across the top i put pictures of people on their birthday i also put a spot for the weather for the day i printed out some weather clipart sunny partly sunny cloudy raining snowing etc i have a spot for the scripture we are memorizing then i have the title of the month mounted on some scrapbook paper to offer some color i might start doing a spanish vocabulary word and put that up too each day we put up the number and i say today is saturday september 4 2010 what is the weather like today then we put up the weather picture we then recite the scripture this works well with our learning poster posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels calendar math organization planning thursday may 6 2010 workboxes originally explained by sue patrick in her workbox system book workboxes have become pretty popular in the homeschooling community the above photo is from the tot school blog and shows the standard way to do workboxes head on over and check out her posts on how she s implemented workboxes with her toddler everybody uses this system differently but the basic concept remains the same your child has work in a box basket file hanging pocket that is to be completed that day for a toddler you might want to start with just 5 boxes of work for a preschooler maybe 9 would be a good amount to fill up the learning time ideally most of the work contained in the boxes will be activities that your child can complete independently for a toddler that s just not going to happen completely so expect to at least supervise each activity the benefits organization structure independence teaches care for toys keeps the learning time moving without constant direction by mom better focus the limitations does not work for messy complicated activities requires more prep time the night before physically finding the space to set up boxes can be a struggle at first our experience we have only done this 2 days so far monday and wednesday and i am already loving it oh and tobias loves it too i fill each box with an activity the night before and the next day when we have a good 1 hour time slot for learning time i tell tobias we can do his boxes now he gets each box out completes the activity as quickly or slowly as he d like and then puts everything back in the box and returns the box to its shelf then he grabs the next box on the shelf until he s done all five no clean up for mom and more independence for my toddler can you see why i love it below i have two pictures of how i ve set up our workboxes the containers are photo boxes from joann s that were 2 a piece in the second picture you can see today s activities all set inside each box how do i get started round up five boxes if you have a toddler nine if you have a preschooler you can use anything shoeboxes photo boxes this is what i used those plastic toy storage bins etc pick a good place for them to go where your child can reach them easily the first day choose easy activities because your focus is to teach your child how to get each box complete the activity and put the box away properly there is to be no throwing or banging of the materials which is what i mostly had to correct tobias for we had two time outs when he threw a toy and when he refused to put the materials away in the box he only got off time out when he was willing to finish up and he did that happily both times without any further discipline for a toddler this skill of getting out one toy playing with it and putting it away neatly is huge it s useful for mom useful for kindergarten and useful for the poor toys who take all the typical toddler abuse normally lol what activities can i put in the boxes i am choosing 4 activities that have a clear purpose and 1 that is open ended right now the open ended toy comes last so tobias doesn t get bored before completing all the boxes some activities we ve used include counting bears lauri shape sorter lauri tall stacker pegs small spaces activity we used the puff balls and a yogurt container activity transferring activity we used wooden toast grabber tongs to transfer puff balls from one basket into another cutting activity safety scissors and strips of scrapbooking paper worked well this was very difficult for tobias so don t be discouraged if your toddler can t do it either stamping this was great fun but also a bit of a mess so we might put this away for a few months and come back to it coloring crayons and paper are always fun posted by amanda at 2 34 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels organization planning thursday december 10 2009 tot school activity list i ve had difficulty getting my ideas for tot school into a workable format and really needed a more user friendly form so i made this one along the left hand column i wrote down several different categories of activities based on the skills practiced then i listed 3 separate activities for each category so if you realize you haven t done pouring in a while and your mind goes blank on activities it will be easier to reference this list click on it and you can see the larger format to read it easier i also have a tiny request from anyone reading this blog could you state which activities here you have tried and at what age and then tell me whether your child did it independently with assistance or was unable to do it i d like to get some more reference points for what the age range for each activity is so i can make one of these forms for the 12 18 month range one for the 18 24 month range and so on i ll be working my way through these with tobias but he s only one child and is past the 12 18 month age range already it would really speed up the process to have other mom s opinions oh and anyone is welcome to download print and use this form i ll hopefully figure out how to get the actual form downloaded in a more share able format but for now it is simply a picture format and even that took me over an hour to figure out lol posted by amanda at 6 00 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels planning toddlers monday november 30 2009 learning poster over 26 weeks this year i have been following the preschool curriculum found at our preschool homeschool blog on it she suggests doing a learning poster where you can post your weekly learning items in our old house we recently moved i didn t really have anywhere to hang a poster instead i wrote each item on a piece of paper and hung each paper on cupboards in the kitchen when we moved i now had room for a poster so i made one since we have been using it i have grown to like it so much that i think i should have tried harder to find a place in the old house i have since thought of lots of places i could have put it here is how i made it supplies poster board computer and printer scrapbook paper scissors i used a scrapbook rotary cutting board glue stick tape to hang the poster method type and print or write out the headings for each category on your learning poster just be sure you don t print each title larger than can fit in its respective columns cut out rectangles to put each item on each week cut out each title glue each rectangle in place glue each title onto scrapbook paper card stock hang the poster weekly at the beginning of each week create your items for your learning theme i put up the theme picture vocabulary picture and nursery rhyme at the beginning of each week on each respective day i add the appropriate picture so on letter day i add the printout of the letter each morning we review all that is on the poster photos i made mine a bit more colorful than the one on the preschool blog this wasn t difficult but more time consuming than it needed to be in my mind it was worth it decide for yourself i didn t worry so much about having perfect spacing around the words posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 15 comments email this blogthis
