Home Schooling Pre K- Week 1

Welcome to 2020 and the COVID19 Pandemic that forced us to home school 🙂

My girls left on Thursday March 5th for Spring Break, and haven’t been back to school since. The official date back for us is April 6th, but I’m not holding my breath. After a couple of weeks of fun, games, YT Kids, TV,and doing whatever we wanted I figure it’s time to get back in the swing of things. My husband is working from home full time and is on important conference calls most of the day. Keeping the girls entertained and quiet is a huge goal of mine, but even more so, I want to keep them educated and on grade level. I went to school for Elementary Education so this stuff comes easy to me. Below you can find our schedule and what we did this week. The times are always flexible. Bathroom breaks and wiggle time are always encouraged!

Before I go into our 3 day school week schedule, I wanted to explain the read books/craft hour. I have two girls who are 3 and 5. I let one color, paint, or do play doh for 30 minutes while I do reading with the other and then switch. For my 5 year old we are doing leveled readers together like: Buddy Readers Level A, First Little Readers Level A, and Primary Phonics 1A (actual copies from when I was in preschool!). With my 3 year old, we do 3-4 read alouds and I ask her reading comprehension questions. My biggest advice is to give you and your kiddos grace during this time. Breathe, take breaks, and try again. Don’t stress if you don’t get through everything, but just keep trying!
