Preschool

Clayton has a co-op preschool with three other boys on Wednesdays. He and I do other preschool learning together. Some fun ways that we learn is by making numbers with clay, drawing letters in flour (idea came from a friend) and of course playing in it for "reuses", collecting twigs, grass, etc. and making a bird's nest. He was in to magnifying glasses for awhile so I wrote really tiny different letters spread about a piece of paper and he had to use his magnifying glass to find as many of the one type of letter we talked about during that lesson. He really enjoys learning about dinosaurs and sea animals. We had read about the Blue whale being 100 feet so we went outside with our measuring tape and marked one end to the other. We held hands and ran from the head to the tail and back several times imagining that we were in the big whale. We also signed up with abcmouse.com through his Aunt, Heidi, and have enjoyed learning through this website as well. He earns tickets for doing various kinds of homework and can buy things like more fish for his fish tank and things for his bedroom. He of course wanted to buy more for his tank as soon as possible.
