Fall Fun- Getting Ready for Pre-K at Home!

We have had a great summer!  Lots of fun outside, swimming lessons, camping, day trips!  We are wrapping up our summer with a zoo trip next weekend.

Adventures in Homeschooling- Letters F and E

The kids have thoroughly enjoyed the swingset lately, even in our winter weather (even though it is April).  Thank goodness for hats and scarves!  We are hoping to see Spring weather soon!

Our Home Preschool Adventure

New Ideas
I am continuing to write my own curriculum for my daughter's preschool experience here at home.  Of the boxed preschool programs that I have bought in order to sample them, I've decided I don't like any as well as what I can come up with on my own.  Any curriculum that is already put together continues to be too much for an almost three year old (in my experience). 

My Home Preschool Curriculum for Two Year Olds!

I have searched the internet looking for a free or very low cost curriculum that is age appropriate for two year olds.  I am not at all concerned about her learning anything academic right now, but since I am home with her I wanted to start doing something constructive.  I have not found anything out there that is truly age appropriate for two year olds.  So, I have started making up and writing my own curriculum that is fairly simple yet gives us the structure that I have been looking for.

Summer 2011

I took an unplanned break from blogging for the summer, as life just got very busy.  But, now I am back and here are the highlights of our summer:

Easter Week

Cousin Time

We have had a fun and busy week!  On Monday we had Joelle's cousin Lana over again, and the girls really enjoyed playing together.  It is hard to believe both of these girls will be two very soon!  Lana's birthday is coming up in May, and Joelle's is in June!  The time has gone by so fast!  These two are truly best friends!  They both cried when it was time to take Lana home. 

A couple weeks of fun!

Well, it has been a couple weeks since my last post.  We have been doing lots of fun things together and trying to stay busy.  Winter has decided to hang on for a little longer, so we have been trying to find enough things to keep us busy when it is still too cold to go outside very much (even though it is mid April!)
