Our Curriculum

We were planning on using this curriculum from http://www.letteroftheweek.com which is free, but takes a lot of planning and you still have to research for arts and craft ideas, and other things you may need to do with it but while browing google for homeschooling craft ideas, and lapbooks, I came across a website that I am in love with http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com and while exploring her website I found her preschool lesson plan letter-of-the-week. (Different lesson plan from the first website, the lesson plan just happens to have the same name as the other website) This one is PREFECT for Madalynn. This is what all in the curriculum

• A- Z Weekly Lesson Plans
• Weekly Bible Verse
• Read aloud books
• Phonics practice
• Capital/lowercase letter recognition
• 1-10 Numbers recognition
• Counting practice
• Colors

• Fine Motor skills: Lacing cards, cutting, coloring & pre-writing

• Large Muscle Movement: Large Floor Numbers/Letters Hopscotch
• Singing: Leapfrog A-Z letter sound songs, Bible Verse Songs
• Arts & Crafts for each letter

• NEW!! Spanish Word Flashcards for each letter!

Now this lesson plan cost $10 to download but I feel its totally worth it. Plus its totally planned out which it amazing!  Im really excited to start this with Madalynn when we start school Sept 1st. I just need to order it, down loaded and get printing. She also has a supply list to go with the lesson plan, eek!! OK, I'm pretty excited, but I have been planning and planning and feeling over whelmed with the other free lesson plan (feeling like it wasn't going to be enough for her, and trying to research other things to go with it to make it a full lesson plan and then I finally found an amazing lesson plan!!)

 She will also continue to go on http://www.starfall.com/  (Maddie Loves it.) As well as letting her continue to watch her videos of leapfrog videos as they have been very helpful with her learning. She also has been doing ABC flash cards that I made her. Which she get super excited about and asked to do them a million times a day.
