We started our own little kindergarten this month. With a little kindergarten calendar, and when I say little I mean big, and some carpet squares donated it seemed we were off to a good start. Then we headed to the library and checked out nearly fifty books which was it's own adventure. I decided to just go with what we have and add activities and subjects as we go.
So far we are studying Aa, Penguins, and Winter.
What changed from last year is the inspiration to to plan lessons around Spencer participating instead of trying to find time with Thomas alone in the afternoon during naptime or something. It has been pure genius, giving our mornings structure, causing me to treat Spencer like he can understand, and find out that he is understanding quite a bit.
One of the benefits is that Thomas and Spencer don't spend their morning creativity with Legos and blocks by lunchtime so they are eager to play with their toys after lunch instead of turning to me bored in the afternoon.
Of course the boy's favorite things are crafts so that keeps me on my toes, looking for more ideas that don't get too crazy with the materials and mess. Luke doesn't want to be left out in the least, and loves to sit on a carpet square and sing with us and run around and jump on me. Usually it works out nicely to give him a nap during school.
