Next week will be an exciting week in my house. Or at least
that’s the way I’m seeing things now. I
will be starting an actual homeschool curriculum with my almost 4 year old on
Monday. I have all my lessons plans organized in a binder. We have crayons and
glue. And I can’t wait to start.
I am not a typical
homeschool mom. I know I will be sending my son off to public school next year.
But I know that if I have to make these years at home with me count. I will
teach him and prepare him to the best of my ability. Those of you who read my
blog regularly know that I love teachers, but it is my job as parent to be their
first teacher.
One of the reasons I wanted to write this post was- a. to
let you in on my journey and progress (there will be many updates, I’m sure!)
and b. to seek advice. I would love to
hear from you homeschool moms to hear how you do things and what I should-or
shouldn’t expect. How do you organize
your teaching time around others in the family? Right now the plan is to teach
at 1 pm during the 2 yr old’s nap. While I would love to do the teaching in the
morning because that is when I’m at MY best, I know that is not going to work
best for the rest of us.
I look forward to sharing with you my experiences! Prayers are very much appreciated!! And if you
are looking for a homeschool curriculum for your preschooler, I highly
recommend this one. It is called God’s Little Explorers. It takes you through
the Bible. It is very well written. It is only $14 and all proceeds go to build
an orphanage in India. If you would like to purchase the digital download, you
