Tuesday

Today we really focused on a review.  We reviewed all of our letters, our shapes and our colors.  By now your child should know at least five colors and at least five shapes.  They should know most of their letters and their sounds. If you feel like your child is behind these flash cards are great.  I found them at the Dollar Tree. This multi pack on Amazon is $7.99 if the Dollar Tree is out.

I think I have also seen them at Grocery Outlet for $1 too! If you would like to print some at home there are some FREE ABC ones on Mr. Printables.
Here's what we do in our house, I just bought a simple pencil box and I keep it on the table filled with flash cards and from time to time I quiz my kids at dinner time.  I have to confess I forget most nights but at least they are there for those nights I DO remember!




There are fun educational YouTube videos you can watch too! My favorite is KidsTV123.  Also there are so many sites that have fun activities.  Here are a few of the sites I have used for preschool (and I'm sure there are a dozen more! If you have a favorite feel free to comment below!):
