No lesson this week -Spring break

Spring break is here in Texas and the guests we had last week put us behind a couple days on our last lesson. There wont be a break for summer so dont worry. I made a trip to Sam's club last weekend and made a pretty cool find for my 2 Diego loving boys. (we wont talk about buying New Moon for my 12 yr old) We only paid $5. 98 for the Diego book, there is also a Dora version of this book both come with a small dry erase marker. We are keeping it in the Lesson box along with some color wonder coloring books so the boys dont have access to it all the time or it wouldnt last very long. Which has more to do with my boys destruction streak than the actual quality of the book.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun spring break!!!!

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.
