Danny's First Day

Danny's first day of preschool using the Preparatory Curriculum (free) at http://letteroftheweek.com

Surprisingly, once he sat down with a little direction- he didn't want to stop so each crayon I gave him, I repeated the name of the color numerous times while he used it. I helped him with the hamburger one. On UnitedStreaming.com we watched, Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that type and Letter A from Letter TV

We went to the library to get books about cows, counting and shapes and came home with:

1. Shape Spotters (All Aboard Math Reader) by Megan Bryant
2. Cock-A-Doodle-Doo: A Farmyard Counting Book by Steve Lavis
3. The Cow Buzzed by Andrea Zimmerman and David Clemesha
4. Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin
5. The Berenstain Bears: Down on the Farm by Stan & Jan Berenstain
6. Daisy the Firecow by Viki Woodworth
7. Sixteen Cows by Lisa Wheeler
8. and at home we have Mr. Brown Can MOO! Can You? by Dr. Seuss

I have more activities for Danny to do this week and Camille is getting the 3R treatment- reading, handwriting/spelling and math. I'm glad we started this, Danny seems to have really taken to it. Of course, it was the first day but I think this is gentle enough to work at 3 years of age and right up our alley. Hopefully by the end of the week I can record Danny saying "Hey Diddle, Diddle".
