It’s been awhile
I thought homeschooling wasn’t going to happen for awhile. Things got pretty bleak, but the sun is peaking out now. Anyway, we officially begin "kindergarten" on Monday, August 4. So very exciting!
Lately, Z has taken a sincere interest in reading. He wants to show me all the time that he can read and spell. He loves telling me the new words he learns on "Super Why!" He also loves to type and has discovered his little VTech laptop has a typing feature amidst all the pre-programmed games. So, I immediately thought that typing would be a great way to teach him sight words and word families.
As for curriculum, I’m not doing anything prepackaged. The areas we’ll focus on will be: Language Arts, Math, Bible, Science, Social Studies and Spanish. We’ll also be doing some P.E. and Arts related activities but not necessarily planned daily. I know it seems like a lot for kindergarten, but it’s really more for me to be organized. If I don’t have a game plan and waste too much time moving from one activity to another, Z will get distracted and disinterested. And that’ll be all she wrote.
As I post about daily activities, I’ll list some of the resources we’re using for each learning area.
Peace
