Subjects

My goal here is to have a quick go-to index to find the perfect activities during my weekly planning.  I do repeat activities.  Practice makes perfect!  And at his age, repetition is actually interesting!  I also discover different teachable moments, learn better ways of presenting the activity, and improve my organization of the activity each time around.  I like having all possible activities layed out in front of me to pick and choose from.  I tend to forget about some great activities if they aren’t right in front of me.
