Adventures in Home-school Preschool

 After surviving several months with no formal activities (i.e. Gymboree, Mom Group, Library Story Time) I decided to get into teacher mode and start planning. As many of our schools here in MI are not going back in person right now my husband and I decided to try home school preschool for Owen. 

I have scoured the internet and Pinterest for ideas and plans but ultimately decided to create my own. I modified a calendar of themes I found on Pinterest (littleslearninglife.com) to better fit our needs. I have thought about things that I want to teach Owen regarding safety, cultures, differences in families and protecting our Earth. I will be incorporating these into themes and lessons throughout the year. I am planning on 3 mornings a week for about 2 hours. I broke the time into calendar, math/numeracy, literacy, fine/gross motor and art. I will share more information on the daily plan later on. I did go out and buy a 4ft x 3ft bulletin board so I could have a space to display a calendar, shapes, letters, weather and numbers. Below you will find a free download for the theme calendar I will be using this year.
