Ultimate Resource for Preschool and Kindergarten -Description

What is the Ultimate Resource for Preschool and Kindergarten located at http://www.Tools4PreschoolandKindergarten.com and

why do I need it?

The Ultimate Resource for Preschool and Kindergarten is an extensive curriculum / resource package that can be incorporated into many different types of teaching environments. This includes daycare, home school, preschool, kindergarten and special needs situations. The resources can be utilized by therapists too. This includes speech, occupational and physical therapy.

Tools for Preschool and Kindergarten has bundled numerous digitally formatted e-books into conveniently zipped down-loadable files that are easily saved onto a hard drive. Once the storage of each file has been completed, the folders can be unpacked and opened to display huge amounts PDF printable books.

This formatting and storage method makes the resources at Tools 4 Preschool and Kindergarten the perfect teacher friendly curriculum.

Shopping for curriculum, lesson plans, reading supports, math concept material and so many additional tools has never been so easy. This Digital Download Resource E-book Membership allows the purchaser to utilize the material for years to come and at a very affordable, if not downright, insanely cheap price.

What is the one event that all teachers dread? After spending an enormous amount of money on one activity ….. a piece is lost, damaged or the game (activity) wears out. Sure, the item has served the purpose and was purchased as a 'disposable'. This definitely redefines the terminology 'disposable income'. :-)

Wouldn't it be wonderful if when something was lost, damaged or wore out the company would send you a new game, book, activity or whatever the tool was? Of course the answer is a resounding 'YES'. We all know that this is not how it works …. until now.

www.Tools4PreschoolandKindergarten.com gives you the ability to replace those lost, damaged and wore out activities by simply printing off and creating the item again …. and …. again …. and … again!

Tired of the black-line master that over time becomes so ridiculously faded that you need to sit down and actually trace over the tiny letters and designs so you can use it just one more time? Seriously – if you enjoy this activity ….. you do not need the download membership …. you do need a new hobby. :-)

The Ultimate Resource for Preschool and Kindergarten is a tool unlike anything else you will find on the internet or any other location. Sure, you will find several options of downloadable material or cd /dvd's loaded with curriculum and resources – but it is a relative certainty that not one of these tools will provide you with the variety, typical and unique, that is available within the Ultimate Resource for Preschool and Kindergarten.

Why so certain …. You ask?

Well ….. let's explore all of the numerous resource sets that are included within the download membership located at www.Tools4PreschoolandKindergarten.com

Printable File Folder Games - New and Available for Free at www.Tools4PreschoolandKindergarten.com

Just added the new filefolderfun game of funky fish shapes on to the download Sampler membership site.


The directions are included .... no reason to watch a video.  These are so easy to make and use.  The file folder games (the new ones that were just added) can also be used as fun shaped memory match lotto cards for additional options in education expansion.


Instead of pasting the fish onto the folder - cut them out and laminate (still make two (2) copies of each fish page).  Play as you would a normal memory game.


I have added (copy and pasted) directions from:
http://www.ehow.com/how_7559722_memory-game-directions.html 


Instructions

1. • 1
     Flip all of the cards over so that the picture sides of the cards are face down. Arrange the cards into a rectangular grid. Keep the grid as uniform as possible, in order to prevent giving unintentional clues to players, which would make it easier to memorize the locations of certain cards.
   • 2
     Have the youngest player take the first turn. The player turns over any two cards in the grid, flipping them all the way over and laying them down with the pictures facing up. The player collects the two cards if the pictures on them are the same, otherwise the two cards are turned back over and it is the next player's turn. A player that makes a match takes another turn, and continues to take turns until they fail to make a match.
   • 3
     Have the next oldest player take his turn in the same manner. Continue to take turns, youngest to oldest, until all of the matches are made.
   • 4
     Have each player count up her matches. The player with the most matches wins.

Tips & Warnings

• The object isn't to just randomly flip over cards and hope to make a match, but rather to memorize the locations of the cards as the game goes on.
• Play the game solo by setting up the cards in the same grid formation. Then count how many turns you have to take, in order to pair up all of the cards. Try to decrease the number of turns it takes you with each additional play of the game.
• Children too young for the Memory version of the game can still play with the cards: play all of the cards picture side up, and have the young child put together the cards in pairs. This will teach him how to group like items together.

Hope these suggested directions are more clear than my explanation could be.
