Number Recognition

One of the goals I am working on with my son is being able to count to 20 and recognize the written numbers. I made sure to focus on this goal this month especially when utilizing our More Math workbook from Mother Goose Time

I noticed some improvement in these areas this month. I have also noticed his confidence has improved as well. I think that since he has been so well supported with this gentle workbook as well as my guidance he isn't as afraid to try. He really enjoyed the dot to dot page and was able to count all the way to 13 before he had a little trouble with the numbers and I had to help him. I think I might find some more dot to dots for him that have numbers to 20 because he really seemed to have fun with it and what a perfect way to practice counting.

I also noticed that he did a lot better with recognizing quantities and written numbers. When he did this workbook page he was able to do the whole thing by himself.

We have really been enjoying these workbooks and I love that it provides a little extra work and practice in these areas without it feeling like he has to do a bunch of worksheets. I have definitely noticed improvement in his skills since using these workbooks.

Filling in the Gaps

This is our second month using the Mother Goose Time More Math and More Literacy workbooks. I have really noticed a change in my 4 year old son since using these workbooks. He will be 5 in just a few more months and I thought that it might benefit him to have a little more in the way of practice pages and reinforcement so when I was given the opportunity to try these out I jumped on it. He was really excited to have his own workbook and I noticed that he started to try a little harder to do his work. I focused on the More Math workbook this month because I already know he needs work on his letters and letter sounds. I was curious about his math skills. He is stronger in his math skills right now and I wanted to find out what areas needed more reinforcement and what areas are pretty much mastered. The pages in the workbook go along with the months theme and have great pictures. They are fun and inviting and he feels like he is doing big boy work, which he is so its win...

More Literacy: Alphabet Island

We have learned so much this month with the Mother Goose Time Alphabet Island theme. This has been sort of a wrap up month for the curriculum, we have reviewed numbers, letters, and colors that we have learned all through the year. We gotten to be pirates going on treasure hunts, ship captains discovering new islands, and cave explores searching for beautiful and amazing natural treasures. This curriculum comes with everything you need to have a well rounded and fun month of learning. And while all this is great they also offer add ons to help make this curriculum work for babies and toddlers or all the way up to about age 5 or 6. We have been receiving the More Literacy and More Math workbooks for a few months now and are really enjoying the added practice with the skills and concepts being taught. We don't use the books everyday right now, but I do see us using them more next year as part of our school day. The workbooks match the months theme and are r...

A Very Cold Week of Preschool

Its been a very cold week here in Washington as well as in our home classroom, we are finishing up week 2 of Mother Goose Times Winter in the Woods and I would have to say that this so far has been one of our favorite months. We are having so much fun learning about all things winter and everyday there is a new theme packed with exciting activities. This week was all about the forest and how it changes in the winter. We learned about pine trees, pine cones, snowflakes, icicles, and snowmen. The cold weather is making us want to stay snuggled up in our beds, but once we are up and my kids hear about what fun things are planned for the day with Mother Goose Time they are ready to go. Even though my daughter is in second grade I still include her in some of the activities. We usually start the day by doing the calendar and weather together. Then I introduce the daily topic poster and have a brief discussion about it using the discussion ideas that are pro...
