Winter Fun!

Playtime is Learning Time

One reason that preschool at home is great for my kids and our personalities is because we love the flexibility of it.  I've learned that my daughter, very much like me, is not a morning person.  There are many mornings that we take our time to get dressed and eat breakfast.  

New Year, New Plans- Our Home Preschool

 The holidays are over and life is getting back to normal.  January has inspired me though.  I've come up with some new plans.  I have made a new schedule for us to follow in the mornings when we get up, to try to keep a good routine.  I notice it helps if we always follow a routine, even before starting our preschool day.  I've started getting up and sitting down for breakfast and Bible story time with the kids in the mornings, before getting myself ready for the day.  This seems to help with all our moods and we start the day off a lot better.

Review: Time 4 Learning

I was given a one month trial of Time 4 Learning in exchange for an honest review.  My daughter (age 4) used the program a couple of times, and she did enjoy it.  I liked that it had so much variety.  There were probably twenty topics to choose from.  My daughter really enjoyed the program that read stories to her.

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).
