Shawn's
Review: I really enjoyed reading and incorporating many of these games
and activities. My preschool class of 4 and 5 year olds really enjoyed
them. Most of these games and activities are short and make great time
fillers and transition activities. With the emphasis on literacy in most
classrooms, many of these playful games reinforce what we are already
teaching. I found that some of them I was already doing she gave a new
twist to. My preschoolers and I spent a lot of time laughing while
learning and to me that's the best way to learn.
