Here is my latest activity that we have been working on, colors. I painted the bottoms of the cups and cut up straws that match the colors. We are working on primary colors. She can copy what I say, but doesn't yet know her colors. She however, can match all the colors perfectly. It took her a few weeks to choose this activity or even want to participate, but I put it in front of the VCR (yes, VCR, we still have both types), so she has to look at in order to use the VCR. This activity could be expanded to include complementary colors, too. Eventually, I will also do this for numbers by writing the numbers on the bottom and putting in the right number of straws in.
This blog is a story of two parents, both special educaton teachers, trying to raise a first grader and a precocious preschooler. We love to travel, cook, tend to our "backyard farm", and spend time with each other.
