Preschool – Letter H

A little over 3 weeks ago, our sweet little new addition joined the family. She has just been the sweetest baby and such a JOY (as her middle name indicates!). We’ve toned down our schooling a bit, but we are still plugging away through the Peaceful Preschool. I would be napping right now, but nap times just didn’t line up today for all three kids. Instead, I thought I’d catch up on a bit of blogging. The past few weeks we’ve been trying to figure out our new routine… mostly we are just reading books and doing a couple of

Preschool – Letter G

“Good and upright is the Lord.” He sure is! This week found us back into a little more of a routine again. We are all starting to feel back to our normal selves (finally!). The weather has the promise of spring in the air, albeit snow is in the forecast for a couple days from now (#PureMichigan). We have been able to spend some time outside, which is certainly refreshing to the body as well as the soul! We are counting down the days until the new baby arrives. God is good. With spring in the air, we spent the

Preschool – Letter F

I had great intentions for the Letter F, but alas, life just happens sometimes. After two weeks of traveling, sickness and being super pregnant, we just decided to move on… though we did squeeze in several cute activities here and there and read our “F” books over and over again! Our theme for the week was F-ish, and since I’ve been promising my son a new fish since last spring when his beloved fish died, this was a perfect opportunity to follow through with my promise! I told the kids that we were going on a surprise adventure and loaded

Egg-citing DIY for Easter

It’s perfectly imperfect. Could I have dyed the eggs more evenly? Yes. Does it bother me that the eggs are not evenly distributed across the branches? Yes. Would I have it any other way? No. I can’t help but smile as I look up at my mantle and think of the tiny hands that helped me make this. I’ll be honest, this is not a craft that you throw at your preschooler to keep them occupied. This is something that you make WITH your kids. It’s a memory maker… the best kind of craft there is! I bought 18 white

5 ways to instill a love for reading in your child

My children love to read. But… that wasn’t always the case. Building a love for reading is like a slow dance. Children need to be introduced to it and woo’d. They need to be shown how books can transport them to far away places. They need to be taught that books are valuable resources for learning new things. They need to be convinced that spending time reading is productive and worth their time. So I put together a little list of ways I believe you can teach your young children to love reading. Each point is something that we have

Preschool – Letter E

We had an egg-citing week this week! I’m sure you could probably guess it… but E is for E-gg. Surprise!! haha… I started the week a little unprepared. I had put several books on hold at my library, but they did not come in prior to us starting the letter E unit. I’m so thankful that The Peaceful Preschool always seems to have one day prepared for moments like this! So we began our week by taking a dozen eggs from our refrigerator, counting all the eggs, discussing how many equalled “one-dozen” and then proceeded to allow my 5 year
