Thank you, thank you, thank you for your positive feedback about my Mommy School packets! I love to hear that you are using these with your own kids or preschool classes. For some reason, feedback from Mommy School touches me more than any other project! That must be the teacher in me!
Wow, I have been working away on this packet all weekend long, and I am so excited about it! Really--could anything be more fun than learning with a zoo theme?! We have a zoo field trip already planned, and I just know Little Man is going to love it.
Here are some of the concepts covered in this 3-week unit:
* Letter of the week: Z
* Number of the week: 6
* Shape of the week: Circles
*Theme of the week: Zoo
* Song of the week: Sally the Camel

My youngest is 5, but a big part of me wants to print these out anyway; they are just so amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe teacher in me {pre stay at home days} LOVES that you do this. My daughter is only one, but I will certainly be doing these same types of things with her in the future!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! It's my turn to teach our preschool rotation next week. I can not tell you how happy I was when I clicked on and saw this. I am in charge of the letter Z which is a hard one! I am feeling like I don't have enough time to prepare like I want to so this is a HUGE blessing. And, being a former teacher myself, I know it will be developmentally appropriate and full of good stuff that is cute too! You ROCK!!
