[quote=Anonymous]Every day with my charges includes some reading, some music, some physical activity and time outside, some self care task or chore, and an educational activity. By self care or chore I mean they may help me fold laundry, make lunch, practice washing hands, cleaning their room, or dressing themselves. I don't expect it all every day, but we do work toward those skills all the time. We take a morning walk daily where we talk about the trees and flowers and bugs. We have a weekly outing to a museum, art gallery, zoo, or puppet show. We also go to story time each week. As far as educational activities, I weave things like that into our daily conversations and walks, but we have dedicated time where we may work on shapes, colors, animals, etc. with a craft, a song, drawing on the chalkboard, puzzles, etc. this is maybe 30 minutes max or until they are bored. We aren't sitting and doing flash cards or workbooks all day. I prefer to teach them by being out and living life. [/quote]
