Last week, Cole and I began our adventure in homeschooling!
About a year ago, God really laid it on my heart to homeschool Cole.
I have really been looking forward to starting school and so has this little guy!
We are doing a Pre-K Letter of the Week curriculum as the basis of our reading/language arts. A lot of what we are using is from the curriculum HERE.
It is really fun and interactive and I know Cole will love it. We also are doing other language enhancing activities I have found, a daily calendar/weather charts, and bible verse memory.
Math and handwriting are incorporated into our curriculum but I am supplementing with other stuff as well.
And of course we read a lot! We read at least 30-40 minutes a day, which is our favorite part, and I think that kids learn so much through just reading lots and lots of books.
Outside of home, we joined a Classical Conversation community and will go once a week, plus if course reinforcing all we learn at home too.
This was Cole's favorite activity of the week: gluing Applejacks to the letter "A".
Why was it his favorite?
Because this was the first time that I have ever bought sugared cereal and he ate more than he glued! He was not as thrilled at the elbow macaroni this week for the letter "E"!
(Jake also like the applejacks and we found him eating them off of Cole's sheets hanging up in the office :) )

I love teaching this kid so far and we are both looking forward to a great year in Pre-K!
