Preschool!

I've heard a lot about preschool for little ones, and some people think you have to spend a lot of money to do preschool. There is no need to spend more than a few dollars on supplies and you can have a really great time teaching your own child preschool. The first time I did preschool with my oldest daughter, I taught with other moms. The kids met each Wednesday at one of the houses of the kids in the class, and that class member's mom would teach the lesson. At the beginning of the semester we each picked which week and which letter we wanted to teach, and then we created our own lessons based on the letter and any upcoming holidays. It was a lot of fun, little stress, and very inexpensive.

This year I am teaching preschool to one of my girls and a few friends and cousins. It's an hour and a half each Wednesday, and we do a color and letter themed lesson each week. I get most of my resources for free online. I thought I'd share some of my favorite resources as well as lesson ideas on my blog. Then anyone who wants to replicate my preschool can. Remember, you don't have to spend a lot to teach. You just have to be creative (or find good free online resources!)
