Hello ladies! People are always asking "what should I be teaching my kids to prepare them for school" Every year when school begins my mom has a parent night for those with that same question..... and many many more. Every year I go and listen. And every year I think to myself "I know my friends would LOVE to come and hear this." So I asked her and being as fabulous as she is, she has agreed to do a workshop for any of my friends that are interested. Yes she will be doing it for free. Because she loves me. Ok it's really because she loves children so much and wants them all to succeed.
My mom has been teaching since she was 17 years old. She has her own curriculum that she created with her mother. It is amazing. She has used it to teach countless children over the years. She's even used it with adults that were never able to read. It's easy to do and the kids LOVE it.
Even if your children are years away from school..... even if you don't have kids, I promise this is useful to know. If you have older children that have struggled with reading, this will help them. The most important thing, is that you build a strong foundation early on with your children. They do SO much better as they continue through school. I've been in the classroom for 8 years..... I've seen it.
Here is what she will be covering:
*The single most important thing you can do to help your child succeed in school
*What your child should know before entering kindergarten
*Simple ways to teach your child what he/she should know before going to school
*What your child's "learning style" is
*The basics of teaching your child to read
*How to choose the best literature for your child
*Poetry to teach your child.
I'm posting this so I can get an idea of how many people are interested in coming. We are planning on doing it sometime in February. So please leave a comment or email me at blondedaisy3@yahoo.com if you would like to join us. If you have any questions let me know.
ALSO, I think this would be very useful for fathers to learn as well. I deal with both parents during the school year and let me tell you..... It's nice to be on the same page when teaching your children. When you follow through and are consistent it's amazing what your children can do. But I'm sure you all know that already. :)
So bring your guys, we'll have snacks and drinks, and it will be a really fun/educational night.
Loves to all!!!

Thank you for the invitation. I would love to attend! I just found out they are already doing sign-ups for fall kindergarten. This year, that's us - Austin will be starting. Crazy. I don't know if he's ready, but I surely am not. I would so appreciate any tips and pointers. Just let us know the date. Thanks!

Hi Shasta,
This is so awesome! And if I didn't live all the way over here in VA I would love to come! My daughter Ella is almost 3 & I want to put her in pre-school this fall. So I'm hoping to teach her some things this summer, but I have no idea what 3 year olds should know! Maybe you can post a quick recap afterwards!
count me in i suppose. i'm gonna need all the help i can get if me and cosmo ever stop being kids ourselves and decide to try to be adults/parents.... our poor poor children... 'you want chocolate cake for breakfast!? AWESOME! here you go!'
Hey, Shasta!
I would love to come. I NEED this kind of education. I have been thinking about it so much the past couple of weeks. Please let me know when!
Thanks
