The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames.  I have tacght for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three even four hours.  Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement. \nCheck out the following websites for some useful background info.\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-1.html\n\nhttp://www.rpg.net/sites/edu/1-2.html\n\nhttp://subscriptions.fasfind.com/wwwtools/m/208.cfm\n\nhttp://www.gama.org/uploads/nS/XX/nSXX7lbqv9r-V1glq3UvQg/GinEBrochure1.pdf\n\nGive it a try and you will be amazed.  At leat you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

I found two lesson plans in a quick search that are K-2 -- not quite preschool, but pretty close. They could easily be adapted for younger kids, I think. I found them from a search on www.readwritethink.org.\n\nThe Lesson plans:\nhttp://www.sciencenetlinks.com/lessons.cfm?DocID=365\nhttp://www.sciencenetlinks.com/lessons.cfm?DocID=110

IMO, it should be play with a purpose.  Look for a program that has some structure in terms of what happens throughout the day, but that gives him lots of opportunities to explore, play, and be creative.  Look at the art projects... do they actually look like the kids have been playing and creating or has the teacher cut out a bunch of pieces and then instructed each child precisely how to glue them together (we called them "pat-pat projects" because all the kids did was pat-pat the pieces to make them stick).  Do the kids get lots of sensory experience or do the teachers avoid things like playdough, finger painting, sand, and water because they are too messy?  \n\nIf they work on letters and number, do they do them in fun, creative ways or do they do tons of worksheets?  At this age, they should be playing more than doing seat work.  Honestly, learning the rules of getting along with other children, waiting for your turn, how to wait in line, how to wash hands and put away toys and trash, how to hang up coats and backpacks... those are the skills they need to be working on at 3.  A little academic instruction at 4 is great but even at 4 it should be done through play and exploration.

One method that takes a bit of time but worked for a friend is volunteering to teach at a local youth club, ie...YMCA, Boys and Girls Club or even a local gym.  Keep it small one or two nights a week.  You'll get a few that get hooked on it that will want to continue more than the basics you're teaching there.

I had huge success when I was teaching lessons by contacting the Daycares/preschools.  I took 6 keyboards to the daycare put a out a flyer to the parents and in 2 mo. with 3 daycares had over 30 students from the daycares alone this in conjunction with the piano store I was teaching at put me close to 60 students.  I will warn you that setting up your own group studios is A LOT of work though.  Be careful not to grow the studio too fast though i was quickly burned out and cancled many of the classes.

you dont say how old your group is but there are lots of ideas both here and in other places\n\nsome of my favorites \n\nhave the children use recycled items to make a bed and then use a rectangle shaped paper or piece of cloth to make the blanket\n\nread goodnite moon and then make a childs own copy of the favorite pages \n\nhave the individual child or groups of children choose either to make or choose pieces of cloth to make quilts ( you can read a variety of stories about quilts beforehand to ed the children on quilts or bring some to show)\n\ntalk about and then graph what the children do before bedtime and maybe even when they get up to reinforce routines and opposites\n\nread stories about animals and how they "sleep"\nincluding hibernation, and then they can design their own bedrooms or create one for their favorite animals\n\nck out your local library or bookstores for stories related to sleeping, naps, etc to get more ideas

How about some beanbag chairs and a small couch.  We also added a story time theatre with teired steps to maximize space for many students.  Plus if the children are young include some toy characters from the books and even artifacts from different countries.  Plus posters of famous faces promoting reading is a great addition.

You could give presentations about ASL to school groups, church groups, community groups (such as Cubs, Scouts, Girl Guides, etc.), and perhaps if interest is shown, start teaching a class.

The website below is interactive.  Also, check with your local head start.  They may be able to provide training.  Definitely, get started as soon as you can.  You may even be able to find some elementary schools that will work with your children.
