How-to

I will frequently post a question to spur a discussion. Actually many inquiries will appear from your comments. Homeschool moms, teachers, missionary kid (MK) instructors and MK education consultants, please give advice, share thoughts and make suggestions to our questions or struggles in the comment section. I trust that we will learn from one another and never feel alone in our teaching experience. It always helps to have someone around to listen and to bounce ideas around.

Question 1: What are some activities for a toddler when you are teaching two other students their math lessons?

My comment: One favorite activity that I always used to keep a toddler busy for a LONG time was playing with macaroni. This activity comes cheap, too. Grab an old spaghetti strainer and wooden spoon from the kitchen cabinet. Sit your toddler on a blanket with a bag of uncooked noodles and let him stir in the pot, dump them out and start all over again. The rule is, though, she must stay on the blanket. When it is clean up time, we gather the corners of the blanket and pour all the noodles back in a plastic sack for next time. Meanwhile, the other two finished the math lessons. And, oh, remind the toddler not to eat the uncooked noodles. ;0) Happy teaching!
