Fun and learning

A great thing to do with your kids every morning is calendar time. We count the days until we get to the correct day (1st,2nd,3rd and so on). We also sing the days of the week to the song Oh My Darling:
There are 7 days, there are 7 days, there are 7 days in a week. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
You can also go over the months of the year to the song One little, Two Little, Three Little Indians:
January, Febuary, March, April, ....Twelve months in the year!
Then we put stickers or draw pictures to make a pattern. Each day we add what comes next in the pattern. You can also make patterns with shapes or letters.

These foam shapes are great for projects. You can buy a big bin of them at the craft store. Great for graphing, patterning, learning colors and shapes and for making shape pictures.
