So in July I had these grand thoughts on what I thought we could do this year. Then I decided that it’s better to have a solid foundation. So, here is our revised homeschool choices for the year.
Our resources:
Religion
Who Am I? – Catholic Heritage Curricula – Ages 3 & 4
God’s Love Story – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Reading
Letter of the Week worksheets from Confessions of a Homeschooler
I Can Find Letter Sounds – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Little Folks Letter Practice – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Little Stories for Little Folks – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Catholic Heritage Handwriting: Level K – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Math
I Can Find Numbers & Shapes – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Little Folks Number Practice – Catholic Heritage Curricula
MCP Math: Level K – Catholic Heritage Curricula
Fine Arts
– Last year’s art & music plan
I also got a super-cute looking book about teaching children about different instruments to review (keep your eye open for that) and got a set of Musical Instrument flashcards in the $1 section at Target, so I might make and post a plan for those resources, too.
Nature Study
Our city has a really neat preschool program called peepers that meets every Tuesday at 10 am and has a little lesson inside and then goes outside to experience it. Every week. Rain or snow. It will make sure that I get Lil’ Bit out of the house at least a time or two a week .
Misc.
