Back to School: Fall activities and planning
It's back-to-school time again and I'm really excited! On weekends, I spend a few hours developing a supplemental curriculum for my little guy.
A few of my friends tell me I'm hard core, but he doesn't really get homework yet and I'd love for him to get back into the habit of doing some work after school. It's actually become one of my favorite hobbies, and allows me to get more involved with my son's education. Plus, with email, it's now so much easier to coordinate with his teachers on what he's learning at school and at home with me.
Last summer, I blogged about creating fall activities and traditions for you and your children. Check out these two previous posts to get started today:
Also, check out two of my personal favorites for educational activities with my little guy:
- Singapore Math. This is a great program for teaching children math, either for homeschooling or as a supplement to public or private education.
- The Word Ladder series
These books are great for teaching kids to read words. My little guy really learned to sound out consonants and vowels with their fun games.
Please check back over the next couple of weeks, too: as we get farther into the school year, I'll be blogging more on developing a supplemental curriculum for kids.
Do you have tips or tricks of your own for getting the kids (and yourself) ready for the school year? Or favorite fall activities for the whole family?
