As you can probably tell from my blog posts, we have definitely been struggling with our flashcards. With me working all day right now, and going to school full time starting in January (not to mention the 3 hours of commute time every day), flashcards are just not working. Now don't get me wrong, I still fully believe that flashcards can be effective for teaching babies, if implemented properly. Hopefully, when I have a baby in the future, I will have time to do a full blown flashcard program. However, being a single mother in school, we need something more flexible. I will probably stick with educational toys, worksheets, and other fun activities.
I haven't completely ironed out what our new "curriculum" will include. I know my goals include working on fine motor skills, pre-writing skills, and basic life skills. I hope to work on some of the early education basics, like colors, shapes, numbers, letters, etc. I have a feeling it will be an evolving process. I can't wait to see what types of activities Xander really enjoys.
