I may be crazy (actually I realize there's no question about that), but I came up with this bright (?) idea to start my own personal blog just as a reference for myself of our preschool this year. I call it playing school because we pretty much just play. :) This is not a "real" blog...It is more of a journal where I can just record what we do each week. That way I can look back and remember AND I'll have all my preschool pictures in one place. That in itself would be quite an accomplishment for me. :) We shall see if I actually DO this or not. This is a goal...I have a lot of them and I'm REALLY good at writing them down. :) And I mean, REALLY, REALLY good. Most of my goals may never get done, but hey, they're written down. Don't judge me...I'm perfecting my list making skills. :) I hear list makers are in high demand these days, so if I ever get burnt out playing school I'll have another option. Can't say I don't plan ahead.
I LOVE school! I love most everything about it- maybe not checking papers so much but pretty much everything else. I would neglect lots of other work to focus on school stuff, perusing blogs, reading books, making lists :) and planning, and ultimately, actually DOING things with my kids. I usually have way more things I want to do than we can get done, because we don't spend all day doing school, but we all have fun. And that's mostly what I want to instill in my children...the LOVE of learning!
I should add that many of my ideas are not my own and I'll try to credit where I got them, but I might not always remember where they came from...So here goes...
I love it Dorcas, I am so excited to keep up with you, and steal your wonderful ideas. You are such a inspiration to me, as I am usually trying to get the kids to play by themselves or with each other nicely so I can get things accomplished, and now look up coupons. I really do feel guilty about the lack of time I spend teaching them things like their abcs and math. I did put the Letter Factory movie on for them today =) Cant wait to hear more posts from you, Im glad you got one up and running. And no pressure here, if you dont get it done, who will know? Thanks for your kind words of praise, I really am having fun, and I am indebted to you for your CVS help. Love ya girl, cant wait to catch up next week!
