PreSchool

I've been working on preschool stuff with Courtney for a while now, and it's always been that stuff is scattered through the house, stories are upstairs, painting stuff is in the kitchen, computer stuff downstairs, who knows where the crayons went, and what happened to the puzzles? So after reading my friend Andrea's blog (she does homeschooling with her kids and has an AMAZING blog http://allaboutentertainingkids.blogspot.com) I was inspired to get everything put together in ONE PLACE so we're not chasing around the house looking for stuff. The only plausible place for this was her play room, so I made it work. Introducing the Playroom/PreSchool Room!


I cleared out this cupboard that was storing old toys (which are now in the closet) and dedicated it to our preschool supplies. On the top shelf we have coloring/painting books and stickers, crayons, and a big tub of snacks (graham crackers, gummy fruit snacks, animal crackers, etc)
Next shelf down is art supplies: glitter, glitter glue, paints, paintbrushes, art pads, and play dough.
The shelf under is alphabet blocks and building blocks. The next shelf being all her "educational books" counting, colors, shapes, opposites, etc.
The last shelf is for her puzzles.


At the dollar store I found these two posters for the alphabet and for numbers and counting. The table and chairs is where we sit and do projects and such.

Katy got Courtney a Dora calendar, so I hung that up on the wall, and we do Days of The Week each morning and find what day it is.

And here's my happy little preschooler : )
For anyone looking for a GREAT preschool site, www.starfall.com is AWESOME! We start each morning of school learning the alphabet letters, writing a letter, and putting together a gingerbread man and a jackolantern. Courtney LOVES it and is learning so much from it, it's amazing.
