Our Preschool Curriculum Picks

Share the love!

  • 3

Our youngest daughter turned four in April and she is eager to start preschool.  One of the lessons I’ve learned since I started homeschooling in 2010 is that we don’t *need* a preschool curriculum.  Instead of picking a formal curriculum with our daughter, our preschool curriculum picks is a selection of books that we’ll read together.  We’ll combine these books with crafts, activities, alphabet do a dot printables, alphabet handwriting practice printables, and other related printables.

Check out our #preschool #curriculum picks for #homeschool! #homeschooling #hsmommas #homeeducate

That’s 48 books in the photo, y’all! And that isn’t all of them! I still have a few on the way to me, plus a few I have to excavate from the older kids bookshelves. LOL. Instead of diving the preschool books into the standard subjects (i.e. language arts, social studies, science, and math), I’m going to divide them into Preschool Seussical, Preschool Science, Preschool fun, and More Preschool Fun.
