It is not required to prepare a child for Kindergarten if you are teaching them letters, numbers, gross motor skills (throwing, catching, running, skipping, hopping) and reading them books every day. I think preschool for 3 and 4 year olds is completely optional. You are smart to be looking at your home budget. I will email this to you as well just in case it's easier for you to get it there, but will leave this up here as well in case other parents have the same concern.Д¬onsidering the finances is SO important. Hi Shari, don't worry about the length of your comment, I am happy to read it and respond. What is your advice? You can email me at, My blog is вЂ¦sorry this is so long

My sister she didn't go to preschool at all she didn't go to until she was as the kindergarten age and my Stepmom did preschool activities at home with her full time. Now we are debating should we only enroll him in preschool part time which is 80.00 a week attending 3 days a week and the other days that he isn't in school just home school him. We both agreed that we want him around other kids because I know that is what our son wants since he is the only child. As I am going over the finances I'm questioning can we even afford it since I'm a SAHM and my husband is the only one working and I have 3 major school loans to pay off.

They have a preschool curriculum for them to follow to prepare them for kindergarten. Well, My son is 3 years old and he is the only child and preschool is an option for him.We are on a waiting list for him to get into preschool where we live and time is TICKING.So me and my husband agreed to just pay for him to go to preschool which is $150.00 a week. I have a question about something that I'm dealing with and I would love to get your opinion on it.

I hope that can at least get you moving in the direction you'd like to go, and I will get my lesson plan up and ready for free download ASAP! Thanks so much for your question and kind comments. That way it is reusable, you can adjust as the week progresses and everything can stay organized. You may want to check out white board calendar planners. Some are broken down by hours in the day, others are just list the day of the week with a space for planning what you'd like to cover. I did however do a search for 'mom lesson plan,' 'homeschool lesson plan,' and 'daily planning template' and found so many different styles and formats. I am in the process of altering a lesson planning worksheet that I used while teaching to be more updated and conducive to the planning that a mom needs to do in a day.

I do understand your desire to want to teach more academic skills as well.

Tell the children that containers can hold the same amount but have different shapes.Thank you, Ginny! I am sure that with all of the activities you engage in on a daily basis your son is learning a lot! It is amazing what just doing our regular household work each day can and does teach our children. Continue to demonstrate with the remainder of the containers. Pour the water into the next container and show the children that the amount of water each container can hold is the same. Ask the children which container is the biggest and which is the smallest. Use clear containers of various sizes that hold the same amount. Expand on the concept when the children can answer the questions correctly. Ask the children which of the four glasses have the same amount of water. Arrange the glasses so the equal glasses are not next to one another. Add water to one glass to make it equal to the glass with 3/4 cup. Ask which glass has the most water in it and which has the least. Ask the children if the amount in each glass is the same as or different than the others. Fill the cups with these amounts: 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup and 1 cup.

You will need 4 clear plastic cups all the same size, a clear plastic measuring cup and 3 cups of water. Children will learn comparison, estimation and measuring in this activity.
