Its learning time..... the basics

This course is designed for ages 3-6 and covers preschool and kindergarten curriculum's.
These lessons are catered to me a homeschooling mom of 4 and designed so that I can teach both my 3 and 6 year old with one basic and simple lesson. There may be somethings that are too advanced for your student, then again there might be somethings that are too babyish. Have fun and enjoy your lessons...

Lessons are posted on a weekly basis and I suggest making a learning poster out of poster board but it is not neccesary. Hang your learning poster where your child can see it regularly. We have ours on a wall in our eat in kitchen.

Our Learning poster. (mine is very simple)
Your categories..... weekly theme, shapes/color, number, vocabulary, letter and nursery rhyme.

Each week you will be taping new things on your poster so it is a good idea to have it laminated.
