When Aylin was 3 we started doing some preschool type learning activities at home. With her, we did it all at once: letters, numbers, shapes, and colors and looking back I think it was a little too much all at the same time. So when Hilton was 2 1/2 I started introducing colors to him, one a week. That went over great and I had planned on continuing throughout the summer with shapes, but we never really stuck to anything. This past week we started back up doing a little school while Weston naps. He is learning his shapes now. Here is Hilton's Circle Week:
We found a couple of Preschool Circle videos on You Tube which he enjoyed getting to watch and sing along with and I also put together some lessons on his ABC MOUSE account that were just about circles, which he LOVED and did over and over and over throughout the week on his own. We made circles out of M&Ms, cheeriness, and fruit loops, too :)
I found this idea on Pinterest, where the kids make a shape book of their own work. I figured since we did a color book this looked and sounded like a good idea too. We will add to the book each week with a new shape.
We also started his "About Me Interviews." This is something else we started with Aylin when she was 3 and have continued doing them each year.
We ended our CIRCLE week with DONUTS at Hilton's request because "they are circles momma!"
