World of Learning


At My World of Learning I follow the curriculum from Successful Homeschooling for Preschoolers.  For early childhood education, home is the best learning environment for preschoolers and that is what I provide.  Preschoolers are little sponges who thirst for information, and many subjects can be taught during the course of daily life.  I'll do activities in reading, math, writing, science, art, physical education, and music.  Here’s a quick overview of the skills I’ll be teaching.


Reading
Each week we’ll discover a different children’s book and do art, science, and/or music relating to the book.  Exploring the world of children’s books will help prepare your child for reading.  We’ll also do questions/answers, identify objects, retelling of the story, and discover new words and sounds from each book. 


Math
I will be teaching your child the language of math by using words like:
·         Big/little, heavy/light, long/short, add/subtract, more/less, near/far, empty/full, same/different, and first/next/last.
We’ll be using shapes, colors, and numbers.


Writing
Of course we’ll begin with the writing of your child’s name and then go through each letter of the alphabet.  There are many fun ways to learn writing skills at an early age by writing in sand, shaving cream, pudding, or rice.


Science
Because preschoolers are naturally curious, there are many ways to teach preschool science in everyday life. When I’m teaching your child, we'll cover topics like bugs, animals, animal habitats, seasons, weather, space, and the human body.


Art
What child doesn’t like art?  Art is a big part of preschool learning and we’ll be doing a lot of it!  Art is the fun part that can tie together reading, math, and science.


Physical Education
If I had one tenth of the energy preschoolers have, I could conquer the world!
Having children move in fun ways releases energy and builds muscle strength, coordination, and flexibility.  Children need free play outdoors to run, play, and use their imagination.


Music
Singing and dancing is a great way to enjoy music with children.  My kids love it when I sing with them, no matter how bad I might sound.
We’ll open each class with the greeting song, weather song, days of the week song, and others.  Singing is a fun way to learn and memorize all kinds of things.
