Homeschooling Preschool

So far Homeschooling preschool with Riley has been going rather well. We have covered A,B,& C and so far and she can write them also. She has learned how to spell her first word which is PAPA! She picked up the P writing the B and once we told her how to spell it she got very excited and writes it on everything.

She ASKS to to preschool and when we are done for the day she asks to do more! I have to say it's pretty amazing that I'm the one that gets to be there and teach her these things and here her say "Look Mommy I did it!"

Riley is a lot like me when it comes to learning new things she gets upset if she can't do it right away and then gets a attitude with me about it. But she also knows how to do things and the pretend that she can't which I don't understand either. I guess it is called being 3!

I ordered a curriculum off line called Mother Goose Time. I did a lot of research on it and picked it over the other ones because it had great reviews. I have to say I'm disappointed in it! They only cover the letters for one day and I'm upset by the lack of Fall/Halloween theme. It's Bugs and Crawly things for the month of October.

I told Zach I would send it back if it wasn't for the fact I'd be out 20 bucks for shipping. We will use it for October but I'm also going to include a program I used this month from Preschool Palace. They haven't posted Octobers Lesson plan but I hope they will soon or I will just use there last year's one.

I seem to have a problem finding a curriculum that has it all! The monthly themes along with the Letter and Number learning. Riley already knows all her letters it's the phonics she doesn't know yet which is work on mostly and writing them. We can go though 3 to 4 days worth of lesson plans in 2 hours and she still wants to do more. So I need something to fit her speed which I'm most likely going to have to tailor one too her.
