ABC Preschool

I decided today that I would spend a bit of time each day teaching Harmon the letters (sounds and visual recognition). I figure if nothing else it would give us a fun activity to do. I came across some curiculum here: http://www.letteroftheweek.com/preschool_age_3.html and will see how I like it. I decided to skip the ABC introduction week and start with A this week.

Here is what we did today after naptime:

Monday 3/21/11
-Introduce letter
-Coloring page-Theme words cards
Apple, ambulance, alligator, astronaut, ant
-Poetry/Rhyme
Ten Red Apples
Ten red apples growing on a tree,
Five for you and five for me.
Help me shake the tree just so,
And ten red apples fall down below.
One, two , three, four, five,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Author Unknown
(this was really fun, to pretend our arms were trees and our fingers the apples, and to eat the apples at the end)
-Book
Alexander Anteater’s Amazing Act by Barbara deRubertis
-Music
The Ants Go Marching
-Bible story
Adam and Eve
(this would have worked better with some pictures)

It was a good first day, I am excited to see if Harmon is excited for "school" tomorrow. Also, instead of posting a daily of what we did, maybe I will just do a week review.

  1. Compare the cost of the preschool homeschool curriculum vs. private preschool. Do you have the funds to spend? If not, then opt for a public preschool.

  2. By incorporating an advanced math program into your child's preschool education program, you can help him or her to achieve a deep interest in the subject matter while preparing for the future. To learn more about stay at home mom curriculum toddler, visit on hyperlinked site.
