I have given a lot of thought to our current day to day and have decided to get started with our preschool routine.

Our Homeschooling Plans for Preschool are very much a first trial and subject to change at anytime. My husband and I agreed early on we wanted to Homeschool our son and I wanted to take full advantage of that by creating a personalized program based on our sons current needs and led by his own desire to learn.

Right now, Our son is currently just over 3 years old. He is reading at a 2nd grade level and can write the entire alphabet (though we are still working on grip). He can recognize colors and shapes and even knows some of the lesser known shapes like Hexagons, Octagones and Dodecahedrons (Thanks to Team Umizoomi !). He can count into the 40s and can compare fewer and more. His current favorite pass time is writing words on his Digital Movable Alphabet App like “Babe Pig in the City ” or “20th Century Fox ” or “Doctor Who ” (He writes what he knows 🙂

In the near future we will be tackling inside/outside, same/different, longer/shorter and Money, of which he has a basic understanding but I would like to have more applied practice.

My goal is to get at least 1 hour a day, 6 days a week of focused time. I think that is a do-able goal for us as Dad is working full time on the Farm and I am working full time in the City.

I also plan to create a Waldorf/Montessori/Spielgaben toy set to be the center of his play based learning. (Which I will blog about soon!)



To continue with his Phonics and Reading work, we will be using:

I was able to find a used copy of The Tale of The ZigZag Zebra from All About Reading Pre but it is already below his level so I may try the next level

Phonics Pathways

Lots and Lots of Printables Activities



I am also keeping his reading skills challenged by working our way through the Mensa Reading Challenge, even though we have been mostly re-reading the same ones, each time I am reading less and he is reading more, which I then change the Read By Column on our Check List from [Read] To to [Read] By.

I also want to start working on Recitation Work too as our son has Receptive and Expressive Language Disorder. Mostly Nursery Rhymes and Very Short Stories to help him with his vocabulary. All his reading is done aloud currently so this is just add on. I got a copy of What Your Preschooler Needs to Know: Get Ready for Kindergarten which has lots of songs and nursery rhymes and stories to choose from.

For social, emotional, character development we will be playing Fraggle Rock . Who knew you could use Movies to Teach? It actually covers “Talking and Playing for Growth [and] Many SEL and Ethics topics”. It’s also a show my husband and I watched as we were growing up and we are happy that we can now enjoy it as a family.

We will also continue our focused iPad learning time but we will have to keep it limited plus a the occasional learning DVD.

We currently have the following in our rotation:

I am also trying to keep my sanity so I have developed a bin system for keeping play organized.

We currently have:

Add to all this a lot of outdoor free play time and field trips at least once a month, if not more often.

And round it out with Bubbles.

Lots and lots of Bubbles!
