At home Preschool Activities: November and December 2012

Madeline and Landon have been doing at home preschool with Cali and I for the last two years. It's hard to believe that it has been that long! We started with finger paint, scribbling and books and are now doing activities that are teaching the kids their pre-reading, writing and counting skills. Thanks to pinterest, we have found a myriad of fun ways to teach them. We also use an outline program for Montessori homeschool ages 3-6 which teaches children basics in geography, zoology and social sciences.
