Lets just clear up that 4 under the age of 5 title shall we.

I have a 5 year old

I have a 4 year old (delayed learner)

I have a 2 year old 

I’ll have a newborn soon!

That is my current homeschooling situation. I am doing preschool items with my 5 year old and toddler items with my 2 year old. For my 4 year old we are doing things that currently interest him and to draw out certain aspects of learning he battles with. Namely talking.

So why am I writing this post? Well sometimes life gets a bit CRAZY! It is rather hard to stick to some kind of routine or learning pattern so in this post I have all my goals set out and as we do them I will add them below for you to perhaps use with your little one too.

I love the concept of learning of through play so most of our ideas and activities will focus on the “Hands On” approach.

Learning should be fun!

For my 5 year old I have joined a group of fellow bloggers to share a weekly themed idea for ages 3-5 (preschool) in a series titled PLAYFUL PRESCHOOL! Here is what we are currently looking forward to.

See all my playful preschool posts here!

Things that get taught in Preschool:

1. ABC and sounding, identifying
2. Recognize and learn to write their name
3. Hold pencils, crayons and scissors correctly
4. Identify shapes, colors, animals and body parts
5. Match similar items and tell different ones
6. Counting up to 20 and adding / minus up to 5 items

What are my resources?

I use pinterest a lot for inspiration and have various boards for various themes.

I also reply on the Preschool Journey, Ready for Kindergarten and my new favorite a homeschool planner!

This weeks task!

1-6 September – Use my new homeschool planner and make those lesson plans for at least the rest of the year!

We have a just finished back area as well! Here I am planning a great outdoor area for the kids for learning, crafting and art.
