I found this sight called http://www.abcjesuslovesme.com/ with a free curriculum in which we are following the schedule for the school year, along with what to introduce each week (letters, numbers, shapes, colors, bible story). This curriculum is pretty basic, no day to day plan, just what to introduce each week with every fourth week being a review week/catch up week (to cover whatever you didn't get to.
I believe a week is plenty for everything they suggest, but I am also incorporating the "Letter of the Week" curriculum by Erica @ http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/ which I absolutely love! She has so many ideas and a day to day plan, that an extra week to review and finish up anything we missed works out great for us.
I also incorporated some extra crafts and fun stuff that I came up with or found on pinterest for this weeks main focus of the letter A.
Hope you enjoy! =)
C is supposed to be making a collage with the alligators on the blank A page, but decided to add them to his practice cut & paste page. His favorite thing to do is the "do a dot" page which is in blue (all 3 activities by Erica @ confessions of a homeschooler)
We made ants out of an egg carton. I let C pick the colors
After the paint dried we cut up a pipe cleaner and used it as the antenna and legs.
I made one too. Oh and don't forget the googly eyes. =)
The final product
Our letter "A" for Angry
Ok...so this was supposed to be an alligator, but C wanted to put the eyes on top rather than the side and my husband thought it was A for angry (so we'll go with that).
His letter projects for the week.
Found both on Pinterest and altered just a little, but here are the links:
