Pre School at Home
I know in the past I have thought about putting my daughter in pre school when she turned 4 but I actually feel more comfortable waiting for her to start Kindergarten. I would just worry about her way too much and besides she knows most of the things that they would teach her there anyways. She knows her first and last name, she can count to 10 but I hope for her to be able to count to 20 soon, she knows her alphabet, mostly capital letter but still and she knows all of her shapes including things like oval and hexagon and her colors of course and more. She is also able to use the mouse to click and move things on my computer, like dress up games for kids and certain learning games.
I read often to her and she sits there intently listening and she has just recently begun to use scissors (kid scissors) and she does projects with construction paper and things, glue, markers, painting with water colors. She has also improved with coloring, she colors the different parts of the picture instead of just scribbling and she is one of the most vocal kids I know, the things she says shock me sometimes because she just sounds so smart. She is also at the stage where she asks “why?” a lot, she wants to understand how everything works and why it is the way it is. One of the reasons why I was considering putting her into pre school was because my dad thinks everyone should go, but I don’t really agree anymore because she is safer at home.
