Homeschool Pre–School Resources

Resources, Resources

There are so many resources out there to make this easy for us now.  Here are a few that I have used.

1.  Starfall.com   I know technology isn't the best choice for everything... but this one is AWESOME!  I still remember trying to do flashcards and posters to have my oldest memorize the alphabet.  It took forever!  I have literally spent no time reviewing this with my younger children, and just yesterday at the Eye Doctor, my 4 year old impressed everyone with all of the letters she was able to read.  I give all credit to Starfall.com.  We have it on our ipad, as well as the free version on the computer.  Every day she has "preschool on the computer" time, and this is what she is learning.  Every morning, and sometimes every afternoon, when they're bored and want a movie, I suggest Pre-school, and we do that first.  Sometimes the movie idea even disappears!

2.  Speaking of aps,  ABCmouse.com also has some really great ABC videos on the ipad.  We did the free version, and after you watch some, you earn credits to download more videos.  We have paid nothing, and have a ton of ABC videos.

3.  Dry Erase markers and writing board.  I have a huge Dry Erase board on my kitchen wall.  That gets used by my pre-schooler more than anyone else.  Pictures, learning to write, etc. all happen there every day, and we can compliment her on how great they are, because we see them.

4.  Minutes with Me
 http://www.minuteswithme.com/
This curriculum she now has is very different from the first prototypes that I got with my oldest.  However, I love them, and refer to them often. As this is her new and improved curriculum that she is now selling, it's all I can recommend.  She has a free downloads page that is great too.

5.  5 in a Row, and Before 5 in a Row
This is one of my favorite curriculums.  It is all based around literature.  I only have one of these books, but it has been well used.  I would recommend 5 in a Row if you only want to get one... because the kids grow up and you can keep using it.  I ended up purchasing many of the books that the lessons are about.  It was quite an investment, but has made a lasting impression on my kids and my home.  My kids feel that those books are their friends.

6.  Math Manipulatives
Saxon Math has a box of math manipulatives that you can order.  That was one of the best investments I ever made.  Also, there are teacher stores where you can buy more stuff like this.  Tangram puzzles, Cuisinaire rods, Shapes puzzles, etc.  I have 3 drawers of math and learning manipulatives that we use constantly. 

7.  Poetry and Skip Counting CD's.  

Institute for Excellence in Writing has a poetry CD.  Or Shel Silverstein is awesome.

Classical Conversations has awesome Skip Counting Songs.  Or you can get 100 Counting Sheep.

Botany Co-Op 2014–15

Must purchase:  Exploring Creation with Botany,
Young Explorer Series, by Jeannie Fulbright

Choose one:
3 Ring Binder or Spiral Notebook to take notes/ draw pictures in
OR
Botany Notebooking Journal Junior (Elementary)  or Regular (Middle)
(3/4 of the class in Elementary are purchasing the Botany Notebook.  If you choose not to purchase the notebook, it is your responsibility to make sure they are taking adequate notes for the class.  If you would like to print things off the computer to make their notebook better, that is up to you.)


Class Time:
Notebooks... We have decided that most cutting/ pasting will be done outside class time.
You do not have to complete every project in the Botany notebook.  This is the parent's decision on how much will be completed.  Teachers do not need to recreate every lab and experiment in the lesson. They are very fun though.  If you feel inspired to do an activity, we would all love it!
Class time will be spent on taking notes, discussion, and different activities to reinforce the subject material.

Friday Co-Op 2014-15

UPDATED LINK for SEMESTER 2
http://candilandflorida.blogspot.com/2015/01/friday-co-op-semester-2-january-2015.html


This is still a work in progress....

Excited to announce that we will be located at the Community Center this year!
Our room is located right next to a playground for our Pre-school aged siblings.  Hoping to take turns watching little ones if it gets distracting.  The room is also big enough that if a mom wanted to do "5 in a row" curriculum, or a little craft, it would be easy to have them there with us over to the side.

12 weeks before Thanksgiving, starting the first week of September.
12 weeks after the first week in January, with a break half way through for a week.


HOPE Homeschoolers
We hope everyone will join HOPE Homeschoolers.  It provides so much more than I can provide on my own for this Friday Co-Op.
www.hopefamilies.com  Who we are.. How and Why to Join.

Community, Directory, Email, Online Meetings, Mom’s Night Out, Field trips, Co-Ops, Clubs,
Promotion/Graduation Night, Used Book Sale.

Classical Education Cycle 3
Classical Education Co-Op using the Classical Conversations Foundations Curriculum
Kindergarten-6

15 min. Announcements
30 min. New Grammar Introduced
30 min. Grammar Review Games
30 min. Art/Sign Language

*Need to purchase curriculum.  See below.
This is a free Co-Op which means you help instead of pay.


Middle / High School
No Fear Shakespeare group being started for Grades 6+ that would meet at the same time as the CC Foundations group.  More info to come later.  A Biology lab review is later in the afternoon.


Toastmasters International
Public Speaking Youth Leadership Program  (Middle/High School)
11:30 a.m. Fridays
We will be hosted by the local chapter of Toastmasters International, which means that this program will be FREE!  It is a community outreach opportunity to them.  My husband will also be working closely with us as a fellow Toastmaster for the last 3 years.

The program works best with about 15-20 participants.

Semester 2:   Gavel Club which is a free version of a real Toastmaster group.  This means that there will be leadership opportunities for the kids.  Thinking of having elections for Semester 1, and Semester 2 to give more the opportunity to try new roles.

Mini Toasters Public Speaking for K–5/6
If we have a large turn out of K-5, I will break them apart and do a separate Oral Report time for them. I have a rubric that I have been using for a few years that is fun and easy to do.


Elementary Science Olympiad
Fun Science Experiments.  Competition at the end of the school year with other schools.

Lunch
Mom's Support Group
Kids Socialization
One of the best reasons to have a Co-Op is so that you don't feel so lost.  Bounce ideas and ask questions of other homeschool moms.  Pack a lunch, or go grab some local fast food (Wendy's is close by.)  Definitely Stay!  This time is vital for you to feel like you are part of the group.


Looking forward to a new and exciting year this fall!  New families, and new opportunities to learn and to grow!

Ms. Candi
