Preschool at Home
Aug. 4, 2006
Starting Out!
A Brief Background
I am very excited about this new journey in my family's life. I am going to homeschool my niece for preschool. My family is not 'anti-homeschool', but we have decided that she will attend a local (private) school in our city for kindergarten and on. However, she should be home until then (she's just a baby!  ) and we still want her to be ready.
Our Game Plan
My niece (her nickname is 'Bee) is only 2.5 yrs old, so we wont do a lot of serious studying. We will go over numbers, counting, letters, animals, etc. I have found various free online resources and am looking into Before 5 in a Row. Does anyone have any feedback on that? She LOVES to 'read' and being read too. So that might be a good investment (plus it's pretty cheap on Ebay).
I like the plan on this website: http://www.letteroftheweek.com/Preparatory_Outline.html
I also have some early childhood education activites books that I plan on using. We will also do bible stories. I am not going to be very structured because she is only 2.5! We are going to start on Monday, and this weekend will be spent finalizing the lesson plans and getting a good 'school area' ready. I will take a picture when I'm done!
