Check Out Three Of Rachel & The #TreeSchoolers Learning Shows For Preschoolers FREE! #KickStart

Rachel & the TreeSchools is different from other kids programming because it teaches children sign Language, songs, music, colors, flowers, how flowers, plants, and trees are created, and more! It teaches kids to have fun while learning things that they don't teach children much about in school anymore. Most everything after second grade is focused on learning about what's only on the tests, and how to pass them, which really is sad.

Rachel & the TreeSchoolers episodes contain layered learning. Children will learn about a subject, like flowers, and then be taught and shown little by little, how flowers, trees, and plants grow through music, dancing, cute little characters that children can relate to, and more!





Watching Rachel & the TreeSchoolers will help to make smart kids smarter! Signing Time and these episodes are all family funded programming. These episodes will also include the complete preschool curriculum! Which will be great for children whose parents can't afford to send them to preschool, children who don't qualify for HeadStart PreK programs, and for homeschooling parents too! Rachel & the TreeSchoolers is accountable to parents.

Every episode includes 30 plus facts and concepts that every preschooler needs to know! I started watching the second episode on Plants and Flowers with my 4 1/2 year old. We got through 10 minutes of it, she loved it, and wants to watch more! The intro was a little long, but the facts about flowers and cute characters caught her attention!

Homeschool - Last week (Week 1)

I tried to teach my children a few things last week, as we don't feel the need to put our three and a half year old son in Pre-K for two years. Being a teacher and trying to keep them interested isn't easy. I will try to do some work at the table with them, but I am finding that they really like doing physical things more. They enjoy learning more from hands on experience and creating things, so this is what we will be doing. Puzzles are great! They love wooden puzzles and paper puzzles! I don't have a laminate machine thing, so I just printed them out and cut them up into twelve squares. I will print out new puzzles for them this week, then put the other ones away in ziploc bags until want them back again.

My son has Sensory Integration Disorder and he managed to do quite a few NEW things for himself this week! First, as you can see the photo below, he touched Cars Shaped Pasta! It took him five minutes or so to convince him that it was alright to touch it. Once he touched it, he had so much fun putting the different Cars pasta onto the big M's on the paper! He has asked to do it again! So we will be doing more with pasta, etc.

Nick Jr. online has many really cool, and easy, printables! My children LOVE Bubble Guppies, Team Umizoomi, and more! They helped to keep my children's interest by keeping with our theme of the Letter A this week! I printed out and made paper airplanes. Both my children are still playing with them! I might print some out and take with us when we go on vacation in December!

This week I am going to focus on the Letter B and things that go along with it. I found a Team Umizoomi Pinwheel and I really don't want to wait until the letter P to try it out. So I figure that Blowing the pinwheels would work. Blow starts with B!

We also took our kids to the local county fair yesterday. My son has been telling me that he wants to ride horses, but we haven't had the chance for him to do so yet. We saw pony rides at the fair! They were right near the gate we walked into. No one else was around, so we let Matthew pet a few of the ponies and get used to them. I tried to sit him on one of them twice, and he wanted off right away. So we didn't force it. On the way out, we were no where near the ponies, but Matthew brought it up when we told him that we were going to leave now. He said I want to ride a horse now. So we let him!!! He had so much fun, he didn't want to get off.

He also rode on a Crocodile Ride! He has never ridden on anything like this before, not alone anyways. I have been on a few trains with him, but this was different! I am so proud of him!

We will also be reading a few new books, since Books are also on the B list. Now, to find something with Bears! I need an animal too this week, as we didn't do any animals last week. Wish me luck!
