Planning for Kindergarten 2010

PreK was fun, but Kindergarten is going to be a blast. I know it just by planning.
We're using My Father's World: A to Z Kindergarten curriculum. (plus a couple more supplements) but because I really want my kid to learn more, but because he already knows and writes the entire alphabet and most letter sounds. Also I have a almost 3 yr old tagging along.
Erica (Confessions of a Homeschooler) has the COOLEST letter-of-the-week curriculum! I love her graphics! She has lots of free printables or you can buy it a very reasonable price.
My Father's World users has a great network of resources out there...the yahoo group, blogrolls...etc. They gave me so many wonderful ideas!! Thank you guys!
So, here's how I'm PLANNING for this blog to be.
1. Lesson Plans
Before every "topic", I'll try to put up my plans for what I'm going to do, the supplements and the side activities for my 2.5-3 yr old.
2. Lesson Reports
After every "topic", I'll try to put up a report of what we did.
Seems simple enough, but since I have another personal restricted blog, I do hope this can continue.
I also write this blog because we are severely in lack of group support. If you live in Queens, New York and you're a Christian homeschooler, whether you're using MFW or not, do contact us!!
We are starting a very new and rather lonely journey, because we can't find enough homeschoolers around and we're one of the rare Asians...

  1. I am planning on starting MFW K soon and I am so glad I came across your blog! Thank you for "showing" how you taught each lesson, because now I don't feel so intimidated :)

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
