Teaching Preschool??

Preschool is about "learning how to learn" and "how to be a member of a group". Start doing "preschool activities" like story time with guiding questions, crafts using shapes and colors, developing vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Basic "personal info" is great too- name, address, phone, parents names, siblings. You could have her/them do "All About Me" books that you add to throughout the year.

Do "sensory" activities to increase her awareness of her body in space- draw in shaving cream, macaroni "sand box", etc.

days of the week, sight words (like, the, a, an , and, this, that, had, have, to), coins, time..

also learning the basics of math with puzzles, tangrams, memory games, cutting out shapes or pictures and gluing them to make collages, finger painting, sponge painting...

crafts, science lessons... a good place to look for craft and experiment ideas is here:

My son is currently 4 1/2 and so far this year in preschool they are teaching him to write his name, plus all his family members names. He also recognizes and can write all the letters of the alphabet. They also do basic math worksheets such as 'm&m' math, etc. They work on color by number worksheets, using scissors, and the sounds each letter makes. My son is already in the beginning stages of basic reading because of the letter sounds he's learned from school.

Handwriting worksheets would be very valuable for you to begin using with her. There are a lot of computer websites that are very helpful as well. I have them saved on my home computer, but if you're interested message me and I'll look them up when I get home from work.

Everything you do can be a learning experience! Small muscle activities like play dough, light bright, stringing beads, etc help develop the muscles to be able to write well. Letter recognition can be played while running errands in the car or in grocery stores. There is a fabulous learning video out that helped my son learn all of his letters and their sounds...Leapfrog Letter Factory. Pretending helps with creativiity, working through fears, learning how to cope with social/emotional situations, books...read lots and lots about various topics. Make a writing center where she can write letters to friends or cards for people. Have markers, crayons, stickers, stencils...anything you can think of to make it exciting. Block play teaches pre-math skills. Art helps with creativity and small muscle development. If you are brave, you can do sensory experiences, like big buckets of sand, dried rice, beans or water that she can scoop and pour, measure and feel. This helps with brain development, nervous system development and math skills. Good luck!

My son is on his second year and his p-school started with his name, then went to 10 basic colors. Each day for 10 class days they would do a color and ask the kids to wear that color to school that day then they would focus on that color. They also did things like up, down, side, under, over, above, around, inside, outside, ect. to learn placement. He uses s scissors and glue a lot. They do the calendar each day. Also they focus on a number each day (1-10) and expanded the shapes this year (star, octogon, diamond). I hope this gives you somewhere to start.

They have school teaching products/workbooks etc.

The activity sites already listed here are great ones. I also love Family Fun magazine for ideas.
For learning worksheets that are good prep for Kindergarten, check out handwritingworksheets.com for free templates you can create with any words or letters you like.

Also, the 99 cent/$1 stores often have learning workbooks with great worksheets that have Disney/Sesame/etc. theme. Look for the pre-K level.

Barnes & Noble has a great section with workbooks for kids. You can get plenty of preschool workbooks and ideas there. Even if you don't buy them all, they will give you an idea of what to teach your daughter. What you're working on is great! Also include scissor skills, sequence (show three pictures out of order--like girl mixing cake batter, cake in oven, girl eating cake and have her put the sequence in order), count by 10's and 5's, beginning/ending sounds, google top 25 or 50 sight words and have her work on those too!
