Our Hands-on Preschool Curriculum for ages 2-6
I started homeschooling my daughter, my first child, when she was 2. Why? She asked to do school like big kids, and I had already decided that we would homeschool her.
We started off with freebies from different sites, trying to find a curriculum we really wanted to stick with... but I could not find one. Either it was too expensive, too pretty over function, or I felt like it just wouldn't work for her. So many things included items she wasn't ready for (remember, she was 2), or that she was excited about. But I didn't want to have to edit someone else's curriculum...
I was already in online school to finish my degree in Elementary Education, so my husband convinced me to start my own homeschool curriculum. This curriculum has changed a LOT over the last 9 years, and it is to a point where I am thrilled about it, and so excited to use it in it's finality with my youngest. He is 3, and has level 2 autism.
The one of everything preschool curriculum! Faith based version #homeschoolingfun #homeschoolingmom
What is in this curriculum?
We offer a few ways to get this curriculum, because we believe in accessibility. So I will go through all the parts and pieces below, as well as where you can buy them.
1. The Lesson planner and affirmations. The lesson planner contains 26 weeks of plans, and how to execute those plans in a 3 day school week. Every 2 weeks there is an affirmation to memorize. These come either in faith based, or secular- with the main difference being the affirmations, and recommended story per week.
2. The flashcards. These include letters A-Z, Numbers 1-10, Colors, and Shapes- in a total of 50 flashcards. You can get them to print yourself, printed on 4x6 cardstock, or printed on 4x6 and laminated.
3. The Trace and Write pages- We have them for A-Z, and 1-10. They can be laminated, or on regular paper to use with a pencil! This is the way I use them, but if your child is new to tracing, laminated may be a better option.
4. The Hands-on ABC Guide. This is probably the most fun part of this whole curriculum! With 2 letter crafts for each letter, it is a super fun hands-on way to teach the letters!
5. The Rainbow Tea Time guide is what it sounds like! Each color has a page where it gives you ideas for that color's tea time.
6. The Hands-on Numbers guide. This is like a mini cookbook! Each number has a page where it talks about a number shelf, and then it has a corresponding recipe for that number!
7. A-Z Bingo cards! If you have ever played bingo, you will know exactly what to do with this! 2 cards per letter, giving the chance to match calling cards to the spaces on the bingo cards, or to place a token on each item until you get a bingo!
