Next week we will be leaving on a family vacation and I have been planning plane activities and some stuff to bring for L-Bug to do in our room so she isn't bored or always watching TV. I am super excited with the way these actives came out and how simple everything was to put together. It took me probably 30mins to gather all the stuff and put them in the bags! I ended up with seven activity bags but they can all be use multiple times and some have more than one game or activity. I used quite a few different bag types to fit the different materials. The left bag is a draw string bag. I needed a larger bag for this activity because of the size of the mail carrier. This is a simple lacing art activity from Mother Goose Time! Then it turns into a game Bug can play to deliver mail to all of our family and friends cruising with us. On the right I used a random bag I already had. Our vacation week we are working on reading -at words. So I included a Mother Goose Time "I Can Read" book and the Your Baby Can Read flash cards. We have been using these flash cards with our basic reading words and L-Bug has been doing GREAT!
I decided to throw in this fun travel kit I got at Costco. She used it on our last plane ride and it was easy and fun for her to play with. There are dry erase cards(numbers and letters), a work book, coloring pages, flash cards, etc.. It fold ups pretty tight and is easy to carry. Above are all seven bags packed with their activities! Everything fit nicely inside a regular size school bag and I had room in the front zipper pocket to slip L-Bugs Innotab and games into. I used another pencil pouch for all the game so they weren't just loose in there and added extra batteries too. I was inspired by this micro-training video that Mother Goose Time did a while ago! When I was watching it I immediately thought of our upcoming trip and the two long plan rides we were going to be on! Not to mention those times when we will be in our cruise stateroom getting ready for dinner or something and L-Bug will need something to do.

I'm so excited to announce a new adventure I'll be starting on this coming fall! I'll be joining our local homeschool group to lead a preschool co-op class. Over the past year and a half working with the Mother Goose Time curriculum with my own little one has truly grown my passion for teaching. I'm excited to get to utilize the lesson plans, activities and tools with another group of littles! This awesome opportunity came about while I was looking into homeschooling. Our tot-school days, when L-Bug was two, was all from home. Now that our daughter is "preschool age" my husband and I have been discussing our options for schooling. I reached out to a local group here on our post and was very pleased to find out that the group has come together to form a Co-op! A co-op is a group of homeschooling families who have joined together to increase their children's learning experiences by working together. You've heard the term "it takes a village"... well that is sort of the mind set here! The group participates in field trips, sports, classes, etc. I'm going to be continuing my Family Child Care home with my multi-age classroom as well. So I've NEVER done anything like this before and I'm asking for your advice! If you've ever participated in a preschool co-op class what suggestions do you have? For teachers that have worked with groups of preschoolers what ideas can you share? Thoughts?!
