I have a child who will be 4 in five weeks. Because of her late September b-day, she will not be able to start Pre-K until next year (when she will be nearly 5.) Partly because I know she will be older than most children in her class, I really want to prepare her for school. And I just really want to prepare her period. So what are good ways to teach her to learn to draw shapes, write numbers, letters, etc. Things that she will have to know in school. She knows her alphabet and can (most of the time) count to 10 or higher on her own. I almost want to have a little class schedule so she is used to the routine of school. She stays at home with me and has been for two years (3 years by the time she starts school) so I want her to adjust easily into a new routine and help her however I can. I do work with her now but it's basically me drawing/writing something and telling her to recreate it. Which, if you've tried, is not very successful. Thanks for your help!
