This is our first year really homeschooling. I did Pre-K at home with Hayden since I’ve been at home with him again and now it’s on to Kindergarten. I’ve done a lot of researching and reading and planning and I think I’ve found a curriculum plan that will work for us this year…hopefully it’s not too overwhelming.
We didn’t go for the boxed curriculum type, instead I put things together based on what I’ve read of reviews and what I think will work for us. It’s a mix of styles and types so bear with me.
So here is Hayden’s Kindergarten Curriculum Plan for 2011-2012

A lot of what we’re going to study is coming from Old Fashion Education, Simply Charlotte Mason, and Ambleside Online. I know it seems like a lot BUT this is just a plan, this is what I have so I’m going to utilize it all and see what works and what doesn’t work for us. I also have the Well Trained Mind I’m reading to get prepared for 1st grade. Not too many Classical/Charlotte Mason paths really suggest a program for Kindergarten but I feel like my big boy is ready for more “school” he’s getting bored with coloring, cutting, pasting, etc (preschool stuff).
I also want to do some nature journaling for him and lapbooking…I think he’d really enjoy that.

As for Dev-Dev, he is about 29 months old now and I’m not going to force him into anything but we are going to do a lot of work with his speech and fine motor skills. We will probably use a lot of the Tot School plans for him.
