Читать книгу Homeschooling For Dummies - Jennifer Kaufeld - Страница 76

Teaching with a preschooler around isn’t as hard a task as it sounds. Although your little person may insist on individualized attention once in a while, most 3- to 5-year-old children can amuse themselves for a while if they have to. A school time box with old clothes for dress-up time, some paper and crayons, a picture book, and a few favorite toys may be all you need to keep your preschooler happy while you work with the rest of the crew.

At our house, the preschooler decided that she needed to be in school, too. So, we took a little desk and stocked it with primary puzzles, pencils, crayons, paper, simple dot-to-dot pages, and some felt paper dolls. While I worked with her older brother, she sat at her desk doing her “very important schoolwork.” When she decided she was finished for the day, she wandered off to play with her toys. Who knows? It may work that way for you, too.
