More Literacy and More Math... Yes Please!

We have been using Mother Goose Time for preschool with my son for 7 months now and have been very happy with it. I was recently given the oppurtunity to try one of their add on products with our regular subscription. I decided that we would give the More Literacy and More Math workbooks a try. Preston is 4 1/2 and I figured a little extra help in those areas could be good for him.


When he saw his workbook he was so excited, I decided to put them in the workboxes with his sisters work so that when she does math he can also pull out his math workbook and do math with her. He has really enjoyed doing these workbooks and I was surprised that he didn't get upset about doing more work. He usually doesn't like writing, but these books are adorably illustrated and the activity pages are fun and not to time intensive. He has really retained a lot more information this month. The workbooks have been just the right amount of extra work that he has actually remembered the letters that went with this month. The workbooks are also made to go along with each months theme and I feel like they really added to this months fun of At the Pond. 

In the More Literacy workbook there are pages that go along with each letter learned, they focus on writing the letter, learning the sound, and recognizing pictures that start with the letter. There are also letter books that he made  and little puzzles for him to do.




The More Math book had plenty of practice with number recognition and counting. There were also some pages with puzzles, missing numbers games and addition sentences. Some of this was a little hard for him to do on his own at this point but he was interested in doing them with me and he tried really hard.




I am very excited to continue with these books and see his confidence in learning grow. I was worried that he was going to be to young for them, but I am very happy we gave these a try. They have been a fabulous addition to what was already a great program.

A Month of Nursery Rhymes!

So far we are only in day 2 of our Mother Goose Time Nursery Rhymes theme for February and we are loving it. I printed out the coloring pages for this months theme in the member resources section of the  Mother Goose Time website. Each color page goes with the days nursery rhyme, it has a cute picture and the nursery rhyme printed on it. After the month is finished they will each have a cute nursery rhyme book of their own. I can not wait to share all 20 of the nursery rhymes with my kids, some of them were ones I had forgotten until I flipped through the book, and then I couldn't believe I hadn't read them to my kids before. As a Mother Goose Time Blog Ambassador we are given a monthly focus topic to think about while we are doing the lessons with our kids. This month is about assessments. Mother Goose Time gives you plenty of ways to assess the progress of your students. I started thinking about how I use assessment in our homeschool. Because I only have 2 students and th...

Lets Talk About Manipulatives...And a Give-Away!

I am so excited about this post!  Mother Goose Time has allowed us to do a giveaway with our readers! One lucky winner will win 2 bags of Mother Goose Time manipulatives. It will be a surprise what they give you but let me ease your mind, we have loved all the manipulatives they have sent so far. Each month of Mother Goose Time has a theme and everything you get works with that theme. This means you get a meaningful month of learning that is all planned out for you. Every month you get a new calendar set up as well as numbers, shape, and color to add to your circle time. You also get a storybook and a music CD that is matched to the months theme as well. But, I think the most fun items you get is the hands on stuff. They include a stamp to go along with the shape of the month, cookie cutters of the letters you will be focusing on, and 2 bags of really good quality manipulatives. This Months theme is Nursery Rhymes and we received a bag of sheep counters and a bag of lacing s...

Whats In The Celebration Bag!

We still have one more week of our December Winter Wonderland kit left, but I knew that when my January box arrived I would have get into it to find our celebration kit. The celebration kits are a bonus bag of goodies that  Mother Goose Time sends each month. They are fun and helpful when celebrating holidays, and seasons. We always look forward to our little bonus bag and use it to make our celebrations more meaningful. The January Dinosaur Dig box came with all the supplies for us to celebrate a New Year of Peace and kindness. I love this celebration kit and the idea of starting off the New Year with a goal of being the kindest person you can be, and this celebration kit comes woth lots of fun activites to help kickstart a year of peace and kindness. We will be using this kit on New Years Day which is still a few days away. I plan on making black eyed peas and corn bread as well as burning a bayberry candle for luck, and setting some goals for the New Year as well as ad...
