Will it float?
Suggest that children look around for things that are expendable — twigs, leaves, stones, egg shells, pencils, straws, popsicle sticks, aluminum plates, ping pong ball, napkin, comb, and so on.
The objective is to predict whether or not these objects will float. To test the prediction, use a large container with water and check floating vs. sinking.
Children are natural scavengers, so why not make them collectors for a purpose?
In addition to the actual experience, kids will learn about the words that describe water. For example, you can discuss the different sounds made by water—splashing, bubbling, dropping, roaring, and trickling.
How about the way water feels? Hot, cold, lukewarm, icy, fast running, slow running.
What are the various uses of water? To drink, play in, wash clothes, cook with, water gardens, clean windows and take a bath.
And finally, how many places can you name where water is found? Lakes, oceans, streams, inside plumbing, puddles, dams, ditches, ponds, fountains, and so on

Good manners start early — at home
• Respecting other people’s property and privacy;
• Behaving well at the dining table;
• Not being rowdy in public;
• Not interrupting or contradicting;
• Not demanding one’s way all the time.
Choose the manners that are most important to you and your
family and concentrate on those.
If you start teaching manners consistently and
with purpose in the preschool years, they should be a habit by the time a child
enters school.

Start on tellng time
When your
child is hungry and impatient with the speed of mealtime preparations, point to
the large hand of the clock and say to her, “We will have dinner when this big
hand gets to the bottom (or the top) of the clock.”
Point to
where the hand will be as you say this.
Then make
every effort to meet this prediction accurately.
If she is
not familiar with the clock, you will have to explain that the hand does move,
but too slowly for her to see it.
Don’t try
to teach her hours and minutes at first. This is difficult even for some
first-graders to understand.
However, by kindergarten many children
will understand the concept of hours.
