For some reason I have also had trouble finding scissors for her. Maybe I need to look again since all of the school supplies are out! :)<br /><br />We only did a few days this past week, too. I didn't even post about it!Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912784674040378139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937235800872850976.post-60664305852577456952010-08-16T14:05:14.079-04:002010-08-16T14:05:14.079-04:00It amazes me what things will capture their full a...It amazes me what things will capture their full attention each week and what things they get bored with quickly.

I'm actually considering getting the curriculum to begin with my son when he's 3 or 3 1/2. I like all the hands-on activities to help prepare a preschooler for letter formation and writing. Anyway, if you have the other parts of the curriculum, do you like it?Ambrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748099952440027497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937235800872850976.post-91513863764539573202010-08-15T22:25:10.895-04:002010-08-15T22:25:10.895-04:00She's working so hard & is so very cute!! ...She's working so hard & is so very cute!!

That's inspiring. I love so many of your ideas I don't know where to start. The alphabet cue cards are great. I've never seen the letters in puzzle format. My son would love that! I also like how you have the giant numbers poster. That would be really helpful. Oh! I really like the Moses craft too.Tracey M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12360223480056267669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937235800872850976.post-49503980179081809942010-08-15T16:31:22.326-04:002010-08-15T16:31:22.326-04:00My 2.5 year old has the same struggle with scissor...My 2.5 year old has the same struggle with scissors.

It is so funny. We've actually been working on that this week. I broke out our alphabet puzzle and we pointed to each letter as we sang the song. That part of the song still confuses her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066135650316327591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937235800872850976.post-64004742972405182142010-08-15T16:03:13.463-04:002010-08-15T16:03:13.463-04:00Looks a great week.

He actually loved digging in the basket as if it were set up to be a sensory box, and because straws are narrow, they snip easily with one cut and the paper doesn't get in the way so he could actually practice the holding scissors and cutting motion much more easily.Kristenhttp://www.pcgirl.net/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937235800872850976.post-19861200376482384012010-08-15T15:51:41.292-04:002010-08-15T15:51:41.292-04:00I will have to remember batting a balloon for our ...I will have to remember batting a balloon for our upcoming B week.
