Life has been extremely busy this week, as I am sure you all can relate.
Please let me know ASAP on what you are interested in, so that I can ensure I have appropriate supplies.
Counting cards $5.00
These cards are great for practicing counting. The little gems make counting fun for kids.
The cards are 1-10 and included are 55 little gems.
Pictures with matching letters $4.50
This activity is good for helping with letter recognition, and beginning letter sounds. Children will have fun matching the wooden letters onto the corresponding pictures. There are 6 pictures and 18 letters.
Jolly Jump up/ Flash cards $3.00
This activity has several uses. The letters in ABC order can be used to flip through while signing the ABC's. The cards can be placed into the album out of order and used as flash cards. For a slight variation of flash cards, mix in a picture of children jumping. Every time you come across this picture you stand and jump.
5 Speckled Frogs $2.00
This activity goes along to the 5 speckled frogs song. If you don't know it, don't worry we'll teach it to you.
I am excited to see you all. Please let me know if you will be attending and what you are interested in purchasing. rebecca@modernfrontierlife.com
See you soon!

Tools for Teaching
Formally known as “Mom’s Club”. We are excited to introduce “Tools for Teaching” a Division of Modern Frontier Life.
I started this program because, when I was a Child Care provider I was excited with all the resourses and classes that I had access to. Whenever I attended a class or seminar I always thought, why isn’t this available to parents that have a desire to teach their children in their own homes?
We hope that through this program parents are able to find tools and resources that they need to teach their children through an in-home setting. The focus will start with early education and will eventually expand to much more.
Through my 13+ years teaching preschool and younger aged children, I fully understand the importance of educating at this critical age. I have also talked to many parents over the years that have a great desire to teach their preschool aged children themselves, and just don’t know what to do.
Every meeting will have a presentation on a topic related to early year’s education. Additionally at every meeting we will have curriculum supplements available for purchase. These supplements will come by way of pictures to go with songs, learning games, and educational activities that you can use with your children. These items will be made by you at the meeting. We will provide all the tools and raw materials you need to make them. This method greatly reduces individual costs, and time, but also provides a forum for discussion with like minded individuals. If you are unable to attend a meeting, we will assemble the learning supplements for you for an additional fee.
We are holding our next meeting on Thursday March 25th, starting at 7:00pm.
Our guest speaker will be Jeana Reed. Jeana will be talking to us about what we can do as parents to ensure our children are ready for school. She has been teaching preschool for the Higley School district for the past 4 years and she has over 12 years experience with special needs children. She is happy to come and share her knowledge with us.
Check back within the next few days for the items that will be available for this month’s meeting.
