My
favorite time of year, hands down, is Fall. The change of season, the
change of weather, the crisp sweater feel, the leaves, the smells...and
the spices, oh yes, the spices! I love cinnamon and I am so excited to
share with you a delicious recipe that not only children will enjoy, but
it is healthy and they can actually help you make.
Here, you will see lessons on: THE VOWELS, NUMBERS (1-10), ZERO, GREETINGS and THE ALPHABET. I am currently teaching Spanish and French in our homeschool co-op (ages 1-5) and additionally Mandarin Chinese to my children. The only thing I stress is that I make sure they notice and know which language we are working on at the time. They switch gears rather easily and do very well. Even those who do both French and Spanish with me (on different days) haven't had a problem. I haven't thought of a strategy on how to teach languages to youngsters because I haven't really encountered the need to have one. My 2 year old was mixing letters. She knew all the letters in the alphabet in both English and Spanish, but she'd say some in English and some in Spanish. She is now getting better at differentiating them a bit more. Hope this helps.
