[quote=Anonymous]We read books daily, sing songs and recite poems and nursery rhymes that coincide with different things that come up during the day (e.g., sing itsby bitsy spider when we see a spider web on a walk), play silly rhyming games (e.g., "Do you need some water? How about an otter? How about the otter's daughter?" *giggles ensue*), tell stories verbally in the car, on walks (like the three little pigs, etc.), I speak fluently and don't dumb down my language and I encourage them to ask for clarification. We bring their "journals" along on outings and they draw pictures and write a word or two to describe things that interest them. For math, we do a lot of counting and measuring and basic math as part of activities. We also talk a lot about comparitive size, weight, etc. We have a few math games but mostly we just use it as needed in normal life. [/quote]
