*Brightly Beaming Resources: We are using the Preparatory Curriculum for 2-4 year olds for Shrade.
We are almost done! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Then we will start preschool. See my Preschool Plans. I've been busy working on a lapbook that I will use for each letter. See my Pinterest board for letter A.
*Brightly Beaming Baby: Jessna is now 12 months old for the Nursery Age lessons. Each lesson is 2 weeks long and includes literature, poems, nursery rhymes, Bible, speech & vocab, classical music, lullaby, foreign language (I'm going to do some Spanish and sign language), baby game, exercise and baby massage. I love these lessons because they give me a focus on what I can do to entertain my baby! It's fun and she loves it. I hope to do more things with her!
*Sensory Play:
-water play- loves this!
-playdough
-outside!
Everyday Sensory Alphabet Activities by Melitsa Avila
We will be using a lot of these activities when we learn the letters!
*Literature Connection
Right now we are reading alphabet, color and counting books from lists at the library.
However, I did find this great blog with book crafts, so I will be checking it out for ideas: Adventures in Reading with Kids- highlighting a book a day for 365 days.
*Fun With Colors
Every month this year I will pick a different color to focus on for one week. For May I will do PURPLE since we didn't get to it in April! I will be using ideas from Totline 123 Colors : Color Day Activities for Young Children (1-2-3 Series: Ages 3-6)
by Jean Warren.*Daily Music time: Songs from Music Notes and CD's we get at the library.
*Pre-Math Activities
I'll be using this book Totline 123 Math: Pre-Math Activities for Working With Young Children (1-2-3 Series, Math: Ages 3-6) by Jean Warren.

Love the May Plan! :) Can't wait to see what you do for airplanes. Do you have a list of the skills/chores you want to accomplish altogether? Or is it just something you are just keeping track of monthly?
ReplyDeleteTo have a monthly plan is effective. By the way, experiencing the Montessori Environment can be great for your child's development.
