Fall Preschool Fun!

Pre-K at our House: September-November

It's been a fun and busy fall around here!  Most of our days are spent at home continuing Pre-K activities with my daughter and her friend who is over here several days a week.  I've seen lots of maturing with attention spans, cooperation with each other, and comprehension, just in the past several months.  

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!

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.
