Thursday's Three Rs


Well, the kids around here have started school and for 2 days Moriah has watched the school bus go by our house and I can tell she's rather jealous and wishes she could ride it. She's having a hard time with all her friends being away to school all day and she's not. Originally we were thinking the "unschooling" approach until she's a little older but now that she really really wants to "go" to school I'm wondering if maybe I need to find a small little curriculum to do with her during Isaac's nap-time. The hard thing for me is that even if we weren't going to homeschool her we can't afford pre-school so she wouldn't have gone to school anyways this year. So now the search begins for something fun and quick to do with Moriah that will satisfy this desire to "go" to school so badly. I think what it also means is that I really need to get the family room open and get a little "school" area set up down there and really make her feel like she's "going" to school and trust and believe me when I say that "Mama is your teacher". I'm actually a little excited about this because it's really giving me the motivation to get the family room open and in working order.

Anyways, if anyone has any pre-school curriculum they like let me know. I'm kind of a fan of Montessori so I may start looking there.

Heather, I don't know if you've checked into Before Five in a Row..but I'd be happy to send it to you! It's a gentle, literature based preK program that you can do at your speed and integrate as much as you want to integrate. We loved it for Prek.
