We love the letteroftheweek.com over at our house!
My DD is 3.5 and I am still undecided as to if we will homeschool her. She is in two co-op preschools(one I stay with her and teach a subject every other week and the other I drop her off and teach both days every 6 weeks) right now and is just starting to sound out words. She knows all of her letters/sounds and is getting the concept of addition and subtraction. I am worried that if I send her to public school that she will be bored and lose her creativity. She learns best by sounds so we sing a lot and role play a lot and I know thats harder to do in public school. The reason I am still questioning as to whether or not to homeschool is because she can't wait to go to school. We just did a preschool project for A entiled "All about me" where she traced her body and answered questions about herself. Her answer to when I grow up was, "I will go to school."
Any advice for me? I am not the smartest person around and am afraid that as she gets older I wont be able to teach her. Thanks for the input.
I worried about this with mine, then I realized if they don't go to preschool everyday, they don't really realize that kindergarten is supposed to be everyday. Mine just turned 6 and 4 so last year was our first official homeschool year We attend a homeschool co-op every Monday where the parents teach different classes. I treat that like their "School". The first day we went, we treated it like my ds's first day of kindergarten. We got the new backpacks, took pictures at the door, made a big deal out of it. They do field trips and have holiday parties during the lunch break so they get all the fun stuff too. So my kids know we go to "school" on Mondays and do school at home the rest of the week.
