A Little More Info

Just a few more details. As for the academics of preschool, I have a different opinion than most people. I think preschool is more for social skills than for academics, especially at this age. I am going to be making the curriculum based on the kids on the class. I will focus on building their small and large motor skills, work on their names (recognizing and spelling), colors, and shapes. We will work on some letters but I am not going to be doing a different letter each day of the week. I taught this way when I taught at Weber State in Ogden and I think it works the best.

It is $50 for the whole year because I am doing it more for Andrea than anything but also as a trial run to see how I like it. If you want to pay more you can but that is all I am charging this year. I have always wanted to teach preschool so I am starting small to work everything out. I am going to have 6-8 kids total (including Andrea) but I am leaning more towards 6 kids just because it easier.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED I NEED TO KNOW SOON AS THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST. IF THERE IS ENOUGH I MIGHT CONSIDER DOING AN AFTERNOON CLASS AS WELL BUT PROBABLY WON'T MAKE A DECISION ON THAT UNTIL AFTER SCHOOL STARTS BECAUSE I NEED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH SAMMY AND KINDERGARTEN.

  1. Preschool for only $50? Can I send Cameron? That's such a killer deal and with a great teacher like you, that's hard to pass up. We'll just have to figure out to 750 mile commute...

  2. I would LOVE to have Cameron come...I just don't know how cost effective it would be after you figure in the traveling costs!!
