Kinder Curriculum for 2014-2015

OK let's try this again.

I can't believe it is August already.  I wait all winter for summer to arrive and it is gone in the blink of an eye.  Not to say I don't love fall, because really fall has become my favorite season, the temperatures, the holidays, the colors.  I just don't love how quickly the warm seasons pass and how long the winter seems to draw out.

However, now that August has arrived, I am in even more of a panic about getting ready to officially start homeschooling!  I plan to start on August 25 and aiming for a 4 day school week Mon-Thurs, with Friday being Co-op day.

I am mostly prepared for M's kinder curriculum, although I will have to put together some science and social studies activities as we go.  I am planning to start some theme and LOTW activities with my little one who is almost 3!  I still have some things printed from when M was little, but I am still trying to put all of her stuff together and figure out how I am going to do school with Mason and keep her occupied.  

Here is what I have planned for M's Kinder Curriculum for 2014-2015

Reading
All About Reading Level 1
ReadingEggs
ClickNRead
Teach Your Monster to Read
And of course lots and lots of books.

Handwriting
Handwriting Without Tears Letters and Numbers for Me.  

Math
MUS Primer and I have Alpha if I feel like he gets ready for it

Bible
Continuing Positive Action Preschool Exploring God's Love

Social Studies
I am going to try to go over the topics in What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know

Science
Also trying to cover topics in What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know

We will just be reviewing vocabulary he learned in his Spanish class this summer and a book called Hide & Speak Spanish

After we get started I will also try to make a post each week sharing what we used for our Tot school that week.
