So as you know, this is my first year homeschooling. I am really excited about it but a little nervous as well. I am homeschooling both my 3 yr old and my 5 yr old. I did some planning for September and I would like to share. I am going to teach my kids more about Life itself. I will then mix in the alphebet, numbers, colors etc. I dont have a specific plan or stucture, besides reading and playing etc. I did make my plans based on real life things and I hope you all enjoy!

Can I add???
Leaf and apple prints….instead of using paint brushes use leaves and apples. Also for leaf prints you can put the leaf under the paper and use the side of a crayon to color on the paper to reveal the leaf print.
Use the apple seeds for counting. Group and count the different veggies that you harvest from the garden.
This is such a fun age to teach! Enjoy it and don’t stress too much if life happens and “school” doesn’t get done for the day.
