Math facts are of great importance. I am not a huge fan of worksheets but sometimes they are needed. I have been having Callie work on a sheet of facts and a sheet of word problems each day. At the end of school her teacher sent home two math sheets. One she did the first week of school and the next one was the last month of school. Both the same time but she was able to complete a lot more by the end of the year. Well to keep that up we must practice. There are tons of great website that make it like a game as well. I know they are all on Pintrest but I wanted to share one of my favorites.

It can be used for any subject and any grade. When I was a teacher I used it a ton.
The other activity I worked with my preschooler on is her ABC's. When I started teaching Special Education years ago I noticed how many of my
students did not know their ABC's. So I thought of all the programs I had been trained in and used a little of each and came up with a new program.
When I moved to Frisco ISD we had many kinder friends that needed something different to help them learn their ABC's. So I pulled out my cards and with the help of some great teachers we updated and perfected the program. I am amazed how well all students do with it. What it does is that it pairs the letter and sound with a hand motion. It is a multisensory approach. This is not a new concept and I know there are a ton of programs out there like this one. But, I do have to say that have seen this program in action and it works. I have used it on my three year old and it has also been a great success.
