100 days chart

I LOVE my 100 Days of School Chart!
Each day in class, during our Circle Time, 
one child comes up and reveals the new number.


We review all the numbers each day up until that day.


I have the children guess what the next number will be for tomorrow,
but have them wait and see!
It has been a wonderful resource in teaching:
numbers up to 100,
skip counting by 5 and 10,
odd and even numbers,
and counting forward and backwards! 


I found this chart (and it's very large~as you can see) at Oriental Trading Co.
They no longer sell this chart, but they sell another one and it's smaller!

Supplies List

Welcome to God, Me, and My ABC's!!!
I am so excited that you have decided to make 
Jesus a big part of your child's education in learning the alphabet!

Below is the supply list to make your year a little easier.
I usually purchase all of my supplies before the first day of school
that way I have everything I need. 

 First you'll need a copy of  "God, Me, and My ABC's." 
If you are interested in purchasing a student copy and Teacher's Guide,
please e-mail me at shepherdingwithjoy@gmail.com.


I use, and it is suggested in your Teacher's Edition, an alphabet stamp set.
I also have several different color stamp pads just for fun!


Here is an over view of all the supplies you will need:
-Alphabet stamp set
-Stamp pads
-Adult size scissor
-Craft knife 
-Hole punch
-Tape
-Popsicle sticks
-Googly eyes of varying sizes
-Brass fastener
-Velcro stickers
-Star stickers
-Stick glue
-Crayons



Many people have asked me, "What are brass fasteners?" 
So, here is a picture of them!
You'll need to use these with a few of the crafts.


I hope you have a wonderful year using my Preschool or Kindergarten curriculum!
