So, what do I have to give away.... hmmmm.... LOTS!
I think I'll just do giveaway every day.... Things that are useful to Moms like me....
Today, it'll be a set of Homeschool Curriculum cards for Kindergarteners. These are basically nice flash cards, put out by Wonder of Words. There's several sets of flash cards, from simple syllables, sight-words, crazy animal-shaped letters (a "c" shaped cat, for example), Upper and lower case letters, and over 150 pictures that are organized into the letter of the alphabet they start with. (See the "pear"?)
To enter, leave a comment on this post. Tell me what you or your kid liked best about kindergarten. Make sure to leave your email address or link to your blog, since blogger doesn't automatically include them.
My kid, by the way, likes "making things" the best. We have him do lots of hands-on projects, and spend lots of time "working" outside.
So, the drawing will be on Saturday, November 1st. I'll email the recipient, or post a comment on your blog. You'll have until November 5th to get back to me with your mailing address, and I'll send it on out on November 6th. Okay?
hurrah Im first...I think...I would luv this esp for my lil preschooler...I believe in teaching them young esp if theyre hungry to know more :>

My son isn't in kindergarten yet, but I just love watching him learn new things every day. And seeing how proud he is of himself when he accomplishes something new.

My oldest aren't in Kindergarten yet, but I would love to start using these with them!
ReplyDeletesarah.valente@yahoo.com
these look really neat..... my older two have already done kindergarten and they were definitely hands on fellows..... my youngest would love these cards and they look like they have some really interesting graphics and seem like a well rounded set.
ReplyDeleteFor my daughter it seems to change from day to day. It is usually either being read to or hands on crafts
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is just beginning preschool, but I would still really love to use these! Right now, her favorite activities are exploring things and how they work using her senses, magnifying glasses, taking them apart, etc. And matching, she loves that too!

My oldest liked story time and my second likes math.
ReplyDeleteWell, my son is only 8 months but education is first and foremost in my mind. We count everything and I use every opportunity to read to him. So why not have our Kinder curriculum ready to use when he starts talking.
ReplyDeleteI remember I had my first boyfriend in Kindergarten!! haha!! My son starts next year, and he's very very very excited!!!

My one daughter is in kindergarten right now and I'm loving watching the excitement she has being able to read. I love listening to her read me stories. It's a wonderful feeling.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest child loved going to K and getting away from Mommy for some social time. She loved everything about school from the very start. (still does - 5th grade)
ReplyDeleteI think my 4 y/o boy with have a much harder time being away from me.
When I was in kindergarten I loved snack time because we would always get theme snacks (different colored snacks or snacks with a certain letter...) Everytime I think of kindergarten, I can smell those paints we used to use!
ReplyDeletethe only thing i really remember about kindergarten is a little boy i liked and exchanging kisses on the cheek. :)
ReplyDeleteandrewandkristan(at)hotmail(dot)com

My daughter is only 22 months, but she can already identify all her letters, sing her ABCs and count to ten. These cards would be great for her. I'm going to need to google that site; Wonder of Words. Sounds like something that would be great for her!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for my kindergartener and preschooler!
ReplyDeleteHi There!
ReplyDeleteMy son is in the big 1 st. grade now! He sounds just like your son he does great on hands on projects making things and outside! He say his favroite part of K was playing outside on the playground!;-)
My little girl is going into K next year and these sure would come in handy preping her so she ready! Thanks so much and have a good day!
;-)BROOKE
My 2 year old is in love with numbers, letters, and words. He's constantly looking for letters and words he knows; what a great way to enhance all of his learning!
ReplyDeleteMy son is doing a homeschool preschool right now. He loves cutting with scissors. These would be great!
ReplyDeleteI am homeschool preschooling it, if that makes sense! I just started doing something similar to this- only I made them by hand on cardstock... and I only have a few word families done. This would be super helpful. tHanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI loved the art and craft projects.
ReplyDeletelilacbutterfly [at] earthlink.net
Well we are homeschoolers..but I would have to say my best memory about Kindergarten is that I tested out of it and got to go directly to 1st grade :-)
ReplyDeleteamitymatthia[at]hotmail[dot]com
My son is in K right now! He loves creating things in the invention center and playing best.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves his friends and art.
ReplyDeleteThese would be perfect for my nephew.
ReplyDeleteI have a preschooler I've been home schooling for a few months. This set would certainly come in handy later on, maybe a little now.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves arts and crafts, and I did too.
My kiddo's not in kindergarten yet, and I definitely can't remember that far back. I do know that I got my worse grade in kindergarten in reciting the pledge of allegiance. How sad is that?
ReplyDelete@karen & co: LOL! My worst grade in kindergarten was handwriting. And my handwriting is still bad!
ReplyDeleteI liked circle time :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win, please throw my name into the hat!

my oldest just started kindergarten and she loves her teacher the most and learning everything
ReplyDeleteSo far it's writing the alphabet. On paper, in the air, on the wall... okay, not on the wall. But that would be fun, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love these! I love working with my kids at home and these would be perfect!! Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe cards look very helpful! Daughter starts 4K next year. I'd say my favorite memory of kindergarten is the letter people. Each week the teacher brought out a different letter person, the first one was Mr. M and I can remember him clearly.
