We have the Penny books and my girls LOVE them! We found them when my oldest first learned how to read and they were sweet books for her to practice reading on her own. I hope your daughter loves them just as much!
I love seeing your curriculum choices. Even though I will have kids in kindergarten and 2nd grade next year. Helps gives me ideas! 😁 We will have to checkout your book selections. Frog and Toad is a favorite here! 🐸
That all looks so great! Do you ever find it to be an obstacle that MUS doesn't go over some of the "grade level" things? Such as, Alpha, doesn't really touch on measuring, much time, or money?
So far it hasn’t been an issue. Since we hope to homeschool through high school, I know that they will learn those things along the way. They do incorporate money, measuring, and conversions more so in Gamma. Maybe if a family was only homeschooling for a year and then planning to go back into a brick and mortar school school it might be more of a concern. We have a money board game and time board game that also help us review those concepts in a fun way. I hope that helps! 🤗
@@CalledtoCultivate Definitely helps! Thanks! I'm hoping to homeschool for the long haul...but my husband isn't totally certain on his feelings so...I'm just praying about it. :)
Last year I did one video for all of the kids core curriculum. 💁🏼♀️ ua-cam.com/video/at3c6ojNMaA/v-deo.html I also have a playlist with more homeschool related videos as well. 🤗 ua-cam.com/play/PLNmeoBEWBlLWNHuWveR9F60JbVlpiLdbu.html
How exciting! Well I have to say that what I did with my oldest when she was 3.5 vs what I did with my current 4 yr old looks very different. 😂 With my daughter we used Heart of Dakota preschool curriculum to give her a foundation for letter recognition and sounds as well as some basic math. We enjoyed it and it also incorporated a biblical foundation and plenty of fun. As our family has grown, preschool has become less structured and more play focused. They tend to learn a lot naturally by being around their older siblings. That said, I am planning to do a pre k curriculum with my 4.5 yr old this school year. He wants to be involved in doing school with the older kids and I think it’ll be a good fit for him. In my opinion preschool should be fun with lots of learning through educational play, exploring, and games. Also enjoying reading lots of books together! Every child learns at their own pace, so take your daughters lead and make it a positive experience. 🤗💕 I also have these two videos sharing more preschool specific recommendations: ua-cam.com/video/CY343I_NxYY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/X1ifwOWyc4U/v-deo.html
Handwriting was such a blessing for us when my boys were young. Easy and cheap.
Yes, it’s great that it’s so affordable! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing. It looks like your daughter is going to have a great year. I am looking forward to your upcoming curriculum videos.
Thanks Christy! I’m excited about the coming year too. 🤗

That’s great to hear! I’m excited for her to enjoy them this year. 🤗

Thanks Ashley! I’ll be sharing lots more chapter books and read alouds that will be great for all ages. 🤗📚
Always love your book recommendations friend! I wrote them down to see if I can find them at the library. ❤
Awesome! They’ll be plenty more coming. 🤣 I’m kind of a book nerd.
We are using some of the same for our rising 1st grader! Thanks for great read aloud ideas! ❤
You’re welcome Crystal! Have a great weekend. 🤗
We love math u see. We use TGTB language arts and there’s loads in it but wiv short lessons. We use eBooks as well.
I love your readers. We love Amelia Bedelia and Pete the cat in home. I will definitely going to look into frog and toad.
They are very funny stories. 🤗 I’ll be sharing more readers/chapter books in my other curriculum videos this coming month as well. 😊📚
@@CalledtoCultivate looking forward to it
This looks like lots of great choices! 🙂
Thanks Stacey! We’re looking forward to the fresh new school year. 🤗
Frog and toad books are great! I loved them when I was 7! :)
Aren’t they fun?! The entire collection is also available on audiobook on the Hoopla app if your library gives you access to that. 🤗
The Penny books resemble the book Chrysanthemum. It was a wonderful story while I was growing up. One I plan to share with my children.
Yes! The same author/illustrator Kevin Henkes. He’s written many lovely Children’s books. 🤗👍🏻
Thank you for your video. Did you every post the group subjects video you referenced at the end? I can’t seem to see it.
I did 🤗 ua-cam.com/video/MXeguAZCrMk/v-deo.html

I can’t find your video from last year about your kindergarten curriculum. Do you have one? If so, how do I find it?

My daughter is 3 and we will be starting preschool this year. May I ask what, if anything, did you do with your 3.5 year old?

Aside from math, this is all the exact same curriculum my first grade boy will be using this next school year!
Very cool! What did you decide to go with for math? There are lots of great options! 💁🏼♀️
