My 2yo (Z) only gets 6 boxes and then he participates in several of C's boxes as well. I'll be honest I wing it with Z quite a bit, but I have finally started to get some Preschool things in order, and we are learning the letter F this week.
His favorite thing from his workbox this week so far is Playdough with an F and Fish cookie cutter.
Other things in Z's work box are:
2 bowls with rice and a measuring cup is also a favorite!
We are also using Confessions of a Homeschooler Letter of the Week Curriculum - F is for FISH
and I was introduced to education cubes, and will be using those this week with both boys. With C I put letters in them to spell his spelling words, and with Z I have put pictures of things that start with F. You can get all the info about Education Cubes here
I really need to plan better for Z, I'm trying to get more organized with activities for him, and need to come up with some goals for him as well. I need C to be a bit more independent so I can do more one-on-one with Z.
Would love to hear ideas from others that have Kinder and Preschool age kids...how do you do it??

Those are some awesome ideas. I plan on starting workboxes with our Fall session. We just started doing lapbooks this month, and my 3 year olds love it. Not much help with teaching two kids, I've only got the one.
ReplyDeleteYou are very organized. Technically I don't homeschool my daughter, she will go to public K in the fall. I tried workboxes, but I just couldn't commit to keeping them filled. So now I just put some new printables or workbooks on her desk every so often and see if she is interested. Sometimes they spend quite a lot of time on her desk before she is interested, and sometimes she does them right away. I am not really pushing it - worried that she will be bored in K as it is already.
ReplyDeleteFollowing you back from the blog hop. You've got some great ideas + your kids are a little older than mine = PERFECT! Thanks for finding me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with me! Love what you have in your workboxes! The boys look like they are having fun!
