I’m with you – my son started preschool this morning too. I completely agree about the learning of letters and numbers – I’m sure that my son will learn them and think it will be easiest to just wait until he is really motivated to learn them. And I plan to keep doing other stuff, because I think schools don’t have the same one on one ability to help a child follow their interests (which is of course very motivating for learning) as parents do.
It’s been really interesting seeing what she’s bringing home. I have absolutely no early childhood training, but every time she tells or shows me something it pops into my head – Oh that would be great for fine motor skills! Or that’s a pre-writing activity! I think it’s hilarious that I can identify those sorts of outcomes, but it’s also reassuring.
