So Grateful!

I can't even begin to tell you how EXCITED I am about this! Jeremy's mom, Dawn, saw that I was doing preschool with Courtney, and said she had some stuff from when she used to do daycare/preschool, and asked if I wanted any of it. I was expecting maybe a folder or two of worksheets, some songs ideas, coloring pages, etc. THIS is what i got!!!


That box of folders has EVERYTHING in it! All the holidays, seasons, months, shapes, colors, counting, math, reading, alphabet letters, seriously...everything. Worksheets and activities and crafts for every subject. Plus it has over 40 empty folders in the back which is PERFECT for the book up in the top left hand corner. This book has over 40 games.... You laminate the folders and the pieces and it all goes together so each folder is a game....

This is one of the games... you laminate the bodies onto the inside of the folder, then laminate the other pieces... heads, hats, etc and keep them seperate in a baggy... Then the child can mix and match to make different characters. This particular game takes 2 folders...for 16 different heads and bodies. And there's over 40 of these games, colors, seasons, counting, numbers, letters, sounds, rhyming, everything. This book is my main project right now, to get everything colored, cut, and laminated. Courtney is going to LOVE THIS!!!! It'll be great for sacrament meeting, too. nice quiet games to keep us both entertained ; ) ...(the whole book is like brand new since Dawn would make copies, then use the copies instead of pulling it out of the book)


Then there's the big fat craft books and art books, which is great. It has kid recipes as well, so Courtney can help me make her snacks : ) And there's thousands of stickers up there, too! Just everything imaginable that you could possibly want for preschool. All this stuff ranges from her Age 2 now up through elementary school. We are set : )

A MILLION thanks to Dawn, you are the greatest! We are so so appreciative and excited and grateful for our new preschool treasures.
