The Beginning of our Homeschool Adventures

Practicing Tracing her A and coloring
Patterning
Cutting Skills
Smallest to Biggest
Pre-writing skills

So...after much prayer, thought and discussion. We have decided to take the route of homeschooling. I am very excited about this adventure. I recently pulled Savannah out of the local preschool I had her in and began preparations for our first day of preschool at home. Today was our official first day and it went great! We are doing a bible story and verse to memorize each week, calendar and morning board each day, as well as working on a letter a week which ties in math, and many other skills. I am using the curriculum from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com
We are working on learning the Pledge of Allegiance as well as The Lord's Prayer. We are incorporating a life skill each month. This month we are working on learning our address and phone number. I have a few other friends who also homeschool their preschooler and we will be getting the kids together once a week for craft time. I am very excited about this next and new step in our lives.

Savannah's Princess Tree




Savannah has been asking for a Christmas tree for her bedroom. So, Joel took her to the store this past weekend. And brought home a Princess Tree. She was so excited! And LOVED decorating it all by herself!
