Home is where the learning is.
If you’ve spent much time here at The Stay-at-Home Teacher, you know that we have a deep love of sensory bins. Sensory play is such an amazing way to combine important fine motor skills with any other skill you can imagine! But it’s also a GREAT way to engage your kiddos! So today, I want […]
Holy moly, friends. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about a blog post! One of the best ways to sneak in lots of practice with your preschoolers is by picking your family games with intention! In this post, I’ve shared 10 of our favorite preschool learning games and the skills we practice with […]
I don’t know about you, but it can be so easy for me to get caught up in thinking I need all. the. things. to help homeschool LG. There are so many amazing manipulatives out there that it can be hard to remember what is necessary and what is just for fun. But no matter […]
Routine is a pretty big deal around here. While I want to say that’s mostly because LG needs it, the truth is that this momma needs it just as badly! When we go out of town or throw caution to the wind for a week, it seems as though LG and I just can’t quite […]
As with anything else in parenthood (or let’s be real, life in general) there are plenty of opinions about the right time to start school. An age considered “too early” to start by some parents and educators is also considered “too late” by others. My intent for this post is not to share my opinion […]
I don’t know about you, but around here we like to start our mornings off as slowly and as peacefully as possible. The best way for LG and I to start our day off on the wrong foot is to jump straight into doing all the things. So this Fall, we started a new morning routine […]
I have to admit, I think I’ve underestimated the power of Nursery Rhymes. I’ve been working on this set of sensory bin puzzles and matching mats for a while, but didn’t feel any rush to get them finished until I saw LG’s new interest in Nursery Rhymes! As soon as I saw how engaged and […]
I’m often asked what age I started working on academic activities with LG. Now that she’s almost 3, I’ve mostly shared resources that I create. But the majority of our time together is, and has always been, spent playing and talking using academic language! Let Them Play! Is there a better way to learn than […]
Right off the bat, I know exactly what many of you are thinking – homeschool routine for TODDLERS?! And while that might sound odd at first, hear me out. A toddler homeschool routine does NOT mean you are printing and prepping all the worksheets and academic resources. It DOES mean that at this time, you […]
Hey friends! I’m so excited to share with y’all this collection of homeschool preschool resources for toddlers! Once LG hit about 2.5 years old, I decided to ease into a super relaxed homeschool preschool routine. In this post you’ll find lots of the resources we enjoyed! There are so many fun, hands-on activities that are […]
