Be on the lookout over the next couple of weeks for bags that say Book Hunt on them. I will be hiding several of them throughout the county. Once you and your child have found a bag please, tag me in a post that you have found one of the the Book Hunt bags, private message me showing me or come to a group and see what all we do during these groups.
My goal is to bring more awareness to, two of the programs we offer families in Calhoun County with children 5 and under. These 2 programs are Early Steps to School Success and Early Steps to Kindergarten Readiness.
Save the Children has an opportunity for children and families in Calhoun County! We offer weekly Parent Child Groups throughout the county. The focus of these groups will be Kindergarten Readiness Skills for children 3 to 5 years old, but all younger siblings are also welcomed to attend. Snacks will also be provided! One lucky parent/caregiver will win a small door prize.
During the weekly Parent Child Groups, we will be exploring the following Language, Literacy and Math Kindergarten Readiness skill areas: Knowing about the alphabet, books and print; talking and listening; understanding words and sounds; numbers, counting, patterns, sorting and classification; comparison, measurement and geometry. These are all critical skills that your child needs in order to be prepared for Preschool and Kindergarten. I look forward to meeting you and helping prepare your child for school success!
This week will be making Bubbles and talking about sorting and counting.

Here’s a tip card to use with your littles.
Acting Out:
Every child sometimes does something they should NOT do. Use this time to talk to them about WHY they should not have done it. Then ask them to draw and picture of what happened on a piece of paper. On the other side of the paper, have them draw what they could have done in a better way. Ask them why this new idea would be a better choice.
Brainy Background:
Using this strategy changes you approach from dealing with misbehavior to growing and learning. Coming up with new solutions helps your child learn to avoid going on autopilot. Instead, they can think of better ways to deal with problems. Suggested age: 4-5 years
