Homeschooling and Meeting/Exceeding Standards at 3's

 I love the Peaceful Preschool and we use this curriculum currently at home.  It is nice to have a wonderful resource with picture books to read, corresponding to letters, letter sounds, Bible verses, and simple math.

As my little one (who is almost three and will have an internet name---- Wildflower) approaches more structure and skill with learning; we are ready to start throwing in some sound phonics and math review with more challenge--- on top of our Peaceful Preschool. This means we officially get to add in a curriculum that will follow us through, Lord-willing, years of homeschooling with Bible and Language Arts.  At 4 we will be using Math-U-See Primer, starting our hands-on math curriculum we plan to always use. Other subjects and further info can be found on the right, top link for our full resources and standards with an all-grades homeschool set-up our family adheres too.

3 is a big jump from 2, and the amount a three year old can learn is amazing. The information they retain now will help them become great readers, writers, and thinkers! 

Here is what we will be using as our core, along with Peaceful Preschool when Wildflower is 3... and its already ordered with a sale on Christian Book.com - all for only 50 dollars!  The sale right now saves so much money for an entire year of learning!

(I will be making a letter and sounds tackle box with mini eraser toys-- I will use a sample picture, but this can be done cheaply on Amazon.  Tackle box learning is a great tool for hands-on, repetitive practice...) 

And thats it! Besides having our Montessori style learning materials in our playroom, where Wildflower will complete lots of puzzles, blocks, legos, coloring, painting, clay and play dough, dramatic play, and kitchen/dollhouse activities!  

She also has wooden musical instrument toys and we have a library card for reading enrichment. Nothing compares to reading picture books with snuggles!
