Hi, I'm Stacey from Musicmakingmommy.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say thank you for linking up last week! I hope you will be back this Friday! I love this post! I try to plan and do learning activities with my girls as well. I love it. I'm following you now. Hope you have a great week!
Wow, I love this! I think I need to do this, too! Great idea to be so intentional with what we're teaching our kids! Oh, and thanks for your comment on my tot school post! The circle time board was a gift from a friend who used to teach preschool & wanted to encourage me as I homeschool my kids - very sweet and such a blessing! :) Z loves it & never lets me forget to do circle time! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, as far as planning, I think planning from week to week is very hard - I get overwhelmed with it, too! I have heard of people who go away for a few days in the summer & plan out the whole year of school! I would love to be one of those people... :) I did take time during the summer to plan out the first few weeks of school, but I was also pregnant & then had a baby....so I only got done up through about 10 or 11 weeks- it is much more stress-free than when I was planning week to week last year! Just something to keep in mind for next year. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a good idea! I'd love to have to whole year planned and not have to think about it anymore. I just don't know if I'm that organized...or able to commit! haha, I'm always changing things up! I should definitely try it though. My I'll do the rest of the year's plans up over Christmas break!
