I organized a co-op preschool for Biddy and her friends from church. We are using the same FunShine curriculum I used for summer school. There are five of us Moms involved and all of their kids are wonderful. We teach twice a week for the whole month. My turn isn’t until December so right now I get to enjoy sending Biddy and having a few hours with NO KIDS!!! I made a cute behavior chart for school and Biddy helped…..kind of.
The little suns are magnets that move up and down according to their good or bad behavior.
I was the Mommy helper today and got to see how she did her first day. She already knows a lot of her letters and matched them in the puzzle like a pro.
She did great with the craft and had lots of fun coloring with her very own markers.
“Mommy look what I made”
She did have some trouble staying on task and put my new chart to good use. I had to move her sun to the stormy “time out” cloud twice. She is the youngest of the group and has the shortest attention span. When she is done with an activity she very politely says “ “All done now”. When I told her she had to say in her seat until we were finished she replied “No Thank you”. Then she went down hill fast. Time Out was the only way to convince her that it is better to just stay in her seat! Other then that she had so much fun at school and I know she is going to learn a lot this year.

Funshine looks great! I got sad seeing those kids and missing the fact that we're not there. Boo! Oh well, life goes on. Enjoy! H and I are doing Funshine on our own at home. So far, so good! :) She's also loving her Mom's Day Out at the Y, where she learns letters/numbers/shapes, does a craft, goes swimming and does gymnastics just for fun, and eats lunch and snack there. It's terrific! I get to hang with S and do that Babies' Day Out that I organized.
