New Beginnings

We are trying homeschooling. I am beginning to homeschool my preschooler as of last Monday.
Monday afternoon while Allison took her nap, Reagan and I got to work. We reviewed our capital letters, which she has mastered and their sounds, but then began working on lowercase recognition too. I played a phonics game with her from the Wright Group activities. Also I had made cards with various letters on them with some of them being the letters in her name, in lowercase and her sorting through and picking out her letters. Then we read "Frog and Toad" stories and did our review and building exercises on the number 1. Tuesday we read 2 books and worked on writing our letters in lowercase.
Wednesday Donny did most of number 2 with Reagan and then had her write 4 lowercase letters a few times.
I had to work w-f this week, so it looks like it is going to be 2 days a week from me, and then preschool on Fridays formally. I'm so annoyed that all I can afford right now is one day of preschool when all my friends have picked the finest beginnings for their child, or so it seems. So my goal is to match what they are doing- I printed off a private schools lesson plans for this year and we are going to follow and hopefully surpase it. One note-She has to be able to write her name in one week.
Funny thing-The girls on Monday had bits of paper and were throwing them in the air and letting them rain down and Reagan said "hey mom, look at our hoorah paper"! (Instead of confetti)
