Homeschool Planning 10-12-09

I decided that the best way for me to plan out our homeschooling week is to do it here. That way I can have my lists, links, and info all in one place. We are finally starting our Sonlight reading list for Preschool 3-4. We'll also be doing many activities from our Mother Goose Time and Adventures in Learning monthly boxes. Pictures to come!

1) Chika Chika Boom Boom - Bill Martin Jr.

Give each child a celery stalk, peanut butter, and alphabet cereal. They
can stick the letters to the 'tree' with the peanut butter

from construction paper and buttons for coconuts. Create letters for trunk using die cuts or
alphabet cereal.
