  • I'm homeschooling my fifth child now, who is in kindergarten. Every child learns at their own pace, so some children might learn all of this "list" and more in their first homeschool year, while some will still be learning these things into grade 1. But today I wanted to provide an overview of what I teach my kindergarteners at age 5.
    As far as reading goes, focus on reading to your child lots. They will catch on, whether that happens at age 4, or not until 7-8. I treat learning to read a lot like potty training...we'll do a few lessons, and if my child really isn't grasping it, we will put it aside for a couple of months before trying again. Childhood and education isn't a race, so I hope this video is encouraging to you in that! Don't compare your child to others. Meet them where they are, and be constantly teaching, showing, and answering questions, and they will learn. :)
    Curriculum we use in kindergarten:
    Math-U-See primer: amzn.to/3RgeLQ4
    Teach your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons: amzn.to/47JR6gc
    Handwriting without Tears: amzn.to/47PMYLP

    I think so many people are intimidated by the just starting process. I agree with the gentle start approach.

    I think my 5-year-old (starting kindergarten in September) already knows most of this. But I think the most daunting thing for me is establishing a schedule that ensures we accomplish what we want to accomplish each day. I am NOT an organized person, and I don't like being constrained by a schedule, though I know kids benefit from them. My child also has a little sister who is three, and wants my attention all. The. Time. Wish me luck... lol.

    I approach Kindergarden literally the exact same way as you described. My youngest is now in 1st grade, so no more Kindergarten around here. I love teaching Kindergarten!

    I agree, in the younger years it’s best to focus on the 3 R’s and read, read, read to them.

    Hey Julie, Happy Tuesday. I love that you have goals for your kindergartners that you want them to master before the year is over. However you’re not going to make them fail kindergarten just because they don’t master something during the year you will just delay it for the next year. ❤ I love these kinds of videos and learning more about the goals that you want Wesley to meet. I would love if you could do these kinds of videos for all of your kids. ❤

    Absolutely love this! Our plan for kindergarten is Math with Confidence K, Explode the Code, 100 Easy Lessons, Handwriting Without Tears, and reading a lot of books to teach social studies and science.

    Can you show us how you teach the numbers 1-100, with blocks I think you said. I'm having a hard time getting my son to recognize. numbers and put them in order.

    Could you touch on how some of your kids learn differently? Since you have 5. I only have my 1 son who is 5, so I don’t have anything to judge on whether it’s typical or not for the things we’re going through. Not sure if that makes any sense.
