Home Preschool

Today was Peanut's First Day of home Preschool!  She was so excited and I was excited for her. Technically her official preschool learning is done at her daycare on Thursday and Friday, as it is an accredited early education school. But DH and I felt she could use more than 2 days. Therefore our home preschool idea was born. 

I'm a nurse not a teacher - where on earth do I begin to create a lesson plan/curriculum?  Insert Lacy from Catholic Icing blog http://www.catholicicing.com/catholic-preschool-curriculum/

I love her blog - she offers practical crafts and catholic teaching advice to average catholic mom like myself. She also has "Catholic ABC's - hands on preschool curriculum" - brilliant!  

It's all spelled out for me and I can change some things as I see fit. She does help support her blog and Family with the profits from her book, therefore I will not be posting exact information from her book. However anything she does post on her blog you can view at no cost. Please be a gem and hop on over to her blog and check her out. 

First day went better than I thought, way better. I really just need to work on my flow, so that she doesn't get bored and then I loose her altogether. Such as - I had to make copies of some coloring pages so I had her work on tracing. Then I heard her fall off the kitchen chair - I'm not sure how this happened, but I think I'll make sure all my copies are made the day before; least I have another mommy failure to file away.  This is a post fall pic

Here she is working on her craft (from the website)

And the final project - which will be her home school bag

Here she is working on her coloring pages & counting - which also doubled as her snack 

Pray for us as we go down the home school journey. I will sure to keep you in the loop on how it all goes down
