Geography Curriculum

Posted in General
I've listed a geography curriculum book in my eBay store (it's new ) If anyone is interested. I also have listed other education books that are in great condition but are way too advanced for us to use anytime soon. Bee is off freecycling and shopping with the grandparents so I have a feeling school today will be after nap time.

And the first day....

Posted in General

 

READING

MATH

BIBLE

ART

MONDAY

Ask Mr. Bear
Discuss birthdays and gifts

“The letter A”

  Starfall A

Color A worksheet

The number one.

Color the number one,

 

Did squares instead

Read Daniel and the Lion’s Den

 

 

Color Lion page


Went wonderful! We basically are having 'structured' circle time. Bee loved Ask Mr. Bear and wanted to read it again (we didn't because I didn't want her to tire of it). We then did the square worksheet and talked about squares. She knows ALL of her shapes except for this one. We must work on this more. After that we did the Daniel in the Lion's den story and watched Starfall. Is there a Starfall type website for numbers? It was a very good day! I liked how we are more relaxed. At her age she doesn't need to be in 'school'.

Starting Out!

Posted in General
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!
