New childminder and eyt!!

Hi all

I am completely new to this blogging.

A bit about me, I am a married mum of two children and a childminder (since July) I am loving it.

I have also started the eyt course

Anyway, I am completely bogged down with all the work,, plus, childminding, school run, school pta, cleaning, cooking, housework, childrens reading, lunch boxes etc etc. yawn. my life is so boring.....

Anyway, I am going off track the whole reason I am writing this and taking more time out of my day is that the eyt course wants childminders to lead and support other childminders and professionals!!!

So, last night a Saturday, I am sorting out the early maths activity in preparation for my first day of the Primary School placement... and am reviewing my maths resources...and also self evaluating as I go...

I have ....

some maths counting books
a balance monkey that you add numbers onto
rulers
money in the shop till
and not much else


So I am going to do...


So, yes the pininterest board- i am now hooked on that- (I love lists and writing lists) and this is just like a massive picture list. I started putting all the pictures of maths things and ideas I would like to do in my setting on here, stuff that is in the house and wont cost the earth.

and then, I needed another board for reading ideas

and then another board for childminding ideas..... I am hooked, think that will be a time waster....

Anyway, if you would like to view my pininterest boards and pin ideas on to them , send me your email address and I will invite you to join. Then perhaps we can post photos to show our creations-may even start a board for that!!!!!

If anyone wants some info on how I set up as a childminder then please let me know and I will write a honest blog on that. Will also keep you all updated on my journey, first day of school placement tomorrow, and am really, really nervous.....wish me luck.
