Great News! I guess the French and the Spanish curriculum will follow closely 

Oh, the excitement!

Definitely. I've been waiting for this for so long... My DS is still watching and re-watching YBCR French and Spanish versions and other downloaded LR files but I think he will enjoy the new curricula much more. Oh! I hope the BK stories are translated too. He LOVES those!

Hi TMT,

I think I am missing something here... Can you please tell me why you are getting an over-sized Soroban? I thought those are just for group demonstrations (it's like laptop vs. projector). Unless you think that bigger beads are more EL-friendly.

Thank you

["PHYSICALLY SUPERB"]

@ Mybabyian

The swimming  progress of your toddler is impressive. Can you please share what you did with him?
I think reading will catch up soon so don't worry. There is recurrent idea in Doman's books: physical training enhances cognitive development especially reading. So if I am you, why would I bother if my DS is "PHYSICALLY SUPERB". Hooray!

Great News! I guess the French and the Spanish curricula will follow closely 

Thanks a lot Aangeles! So I think I'll stick to my homemade LR presentations à la Tweedlewink, LM, puzzles, tangrams, mandalas, relaxation, and few other games suggested by Shen-Li. I think this will be good enough for the coming 2 years

Thank you ladies for sharing your experience. I would also like to know if anyone used the wink program and memory magic software. If yes, when did you start and how did you adapt the material to your tots? Also, are there any iPad apps that are equivalent to these programs?

Awesome! I've been waiting impatiently for the rest of the presentations so my toddler can make more progress in phonics. Here they are now! Thank you so much DadDude and all the volunteers. Your effort is priceless!

Hi Ruwan,

My toddler is 23 mos. Can you count me in?

Oh Wow Aangles! This is a huge accomplishment and you must be so proud of her! I think we were taught such things at middle school    

Thanks for posting your updates. This thread is so inspiring as it allows me to plan ahead for our math curriculum. Please keep us updated. Your insights are very valuable  

we have not done any bathtub education game due to her eczematous skin

My toddler has eczematous skin too. So no bubble bath for him and I usually use very mild organic body wash/ shampoo. It's OK to keep him for a prolonged time if the water is lukewarm, plus, he loves playing in the bath.

Here are some of our activities:

- 100 chart laminated and taped on the tiles
- Montessori transferring liquid activities (sponges of different sizes (to see how much they hold water), baster, dropper, tongs, containers with different shapes, sizes and types of handles)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Marshmallow math tea parties with rubber ducks using these cups: http://www.amazon.com/green-sprouts-Stacking-Cup-Set/dp/B002KCNEDG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345217769&sr=8-1&keywords=green+sprouts+cups
What I also like about these cups is that they are so versatile ( nesting, sorting, patterning, counting, pouring water from one cup to another, watching how the water comes out from the holes: making a correlation between the number of the holes and how fast the cups will empty, etc)
- float/ sink experiments, etc.

It's a double challenge indeed! Good luck

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your detailed response! Very helpful!

Thanks for the good news about LM V 2.0 too! I can't wait to download it!

In the previous videos, flapcards are shown. Flashcards are exactly the same but they come with one page instead of 2.

Sorry about the delay!

Here are the videos I could find. I hope this helps!

Unlike the flapcards, the flashcards can be used without the binder. They are perfect for EK especially that you can write the POI with a pencil on the reverse and erase them whenever u r done.
