 Hi you guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I'm going to share with you all of the preschool curriculum that I picked out from my middle daughter Leia. I'm so excited about today's video you guys. This is actually my first time doing preschool at home so I did go a little bit crazy but I can't wait to share with you guys all of the resources. If any of you guys are new here to my channel, again I'm Brittany. I have a 10, 3 and a 1 year old. This is my second year homeschooling so I'm a pretty newbie at all of this. So you guys, let's go ahead and get right on into all of the preschool curriculum that I chose. So you guys, the first thing that I have that we actually already started using has been these preschool literacy and preschool beginner math workbooks from JDA. You guys, I absolutely love this series. I actually went ahead and I have the PDF versions of these as well. So if it's a worksheet that I want my daughter to do again, we can go ahead and do again. One thing that I love about these preschool workbooks is that it's just regular black and white high contrast. I mean it's no color in it so I find that my daughter is not easily distracted by color even though I'm not too sure if she is sensitive with color or anything like that. But I do find that she focuses on the work. It's short. It's sweet. She wants to do all of the lessons over and over again. Another thing that I do love about this is that it doesn't require much as far as fine motor skills. She's not writing a ton. A lot of the things that she's doing in this book is coloring in, circling, drawing a line, matching objects. So it's really allowing her to just really think critically while doing this instead of worrying so much about her penmanship as far as right now in the early ages. So I am really loving these workbooks and this is actually probably like the first preschool curriculum that we officially done. So we are going to continue with these preschool workbooks by JDA. So yeah. The next thing you guys that I have and I'm so excited to share with you guys this one I actually seen one of my close friends from these little sprouts or Christy from these little sprouts. She did this curriculum with her son last year and I just had to do this one with my daughter and it is playing preschool. So I am so excited to do this plan preschool curriculum. I definitely know my daughter is going to love this. Now this plan preschool it doesn't require any type of sit down worksheets like I just showed you with the JDA workbooks. This is just all play all fun and I'm so excited to do it. Now some of the units that this plan preschool has is apples, colors, nursery rhymes, clothing, food, five senses, things that go together, community helpers, transportation on the farm, weather, eggs, plants, construction, pets, opposites, fairy tales and folk tales and water. So this plan preschool has 19 units and it's actually for 190 days of learning. So I'm very excited to start this one right here with her. I know this one is probably going to go throughout the whole year, especially when we start to do like formal pre-K work. I know we will still be able to add this along. So this right here is going to be our main curriculum. I haven't gotten it by just yet. I just printed it off. So I have to take this to Staples to get it all put together and looking nice. But I'm so excited about this one. So playing preschool. And I definitely think my younger daughter, Alana, she's one. She will be two soon. I definitely think she is going to enjoy this one as well to do it with Leia. The author, when she wrote this book, she actually did this with her four and her two and a half year old. So I definitely think that my two daughters will love doing this together throughout this year. So I'm so excited about this one. Now, another piece of curriculum that I purchased for Leia is what your preschooler needs to know by core knowledge. I originally seen this from Wendy from Planned Prep Prey. She actually did a flip through and she showed the inside of this book. And I just loved it. I love that it's just stories. It's poems. It has all different things in different categories that you can just read to your kids. It has science. It has a little bit of history. It has folk tales. So I really love this core knowledge. What your preschooler needs to know. Get ready for kindergarten book. I really think it does have everything that your child needs to know before getting ready for kindergarten. So I'm so excited to do this book with her. And along with this book, you guys, I went on core knowledge's website and I went ahead and I purchased the what your preschooler needs to know activity book to actually go along with it. I am so excited to do this activity book because again, this activity book is so similar to the JDA's workbooks where she's not going to be required to do like a lot of fine motor skills. This is really going to be a listening hearing. She's going to be doing like a lot of critical thinking. She's going to be doing sequencing. She's going to be doing what is it sorting? It's a lot of things she's going to be doing that's just not necessarily just all about ABCs one, two, three and writing. It's really going to get her brain going. I love that it has like all the manipulatives in the back when we're going over to different stories. Like one of the stories in the back is Goldilocks and the three bears and it has like all the different categories where she's going to be putting it on this activity page. So I definitely know she's going to love this now. This activity book from core knowledge is for ages three to four. And they also have another one that goes along with this book. Here I have it upside down. They have another one that goes along with this book that is for grade or for ages four to five. So yes, I'm very excited about this one as well. Now, something else that I do have for Leia that we are doing is that my daughter, she actually has already mastered all of her letter sounds. So we have been working on some short CVC words. These are little flashcards right here that I actually printed off. And I got from JDA's teachers pay teachers where it has the CVC words and the picture on the back. So we have been working on these as far as her sounding these out as well, along with her like early reading, early literacy. She is doing OK with these. And I'm going to continue to work on all of these CVC work families with her as well to prepare her for like a formal phonics program. Again, we are going to still work on our letter sounds. And we're going to work on the CVC flashcards as well with Leia. Now, something else that I have started with Leia is she has learned a few sight words from these flashcards right here. You guys, I love these sight work flashcards because they're just black and white. They are high contrast. And I love that it has like a sentence in the back of it. I do want my daughter to learn how to read phonetically. However, she does know enough sight words now that hopefully if she does gain the stamina, I can give her like little sentences and she can start reading them and sounding them out. And yeah, I'm hoping to get her to that point by the end of this year. For her to be reading by the end of twenty twenty two. So we will see that it's just my goal. But she's doing good so far as far as reading. So as far as like handwriting and things like that, I picked out two things for her for handwriting. I found this book on Amazon, which is the pretty learning pen control and tracing dry erase workbook. And it just really just starts off the basis with tracing and making different shapes so she can start to learn how to get that better pen control and pen grip when it comes time for her to really start forming her letters. So I really think that this is going to be a fun workbook for her to do. I had one already that she was using that I purchased at Aldi's. But you guys, I could no longer erase the dry erase marker from it. So I just had to go ahead and get a new one. So this is going to be for her handwriting. Something else that I have for handwriting that I have done for a while now, which is this really cute worksheet from taught schooling net that I was able to write out her name from on the edible document. And she's just learning how to write her first name by the end of the year. I do want her to learn how to write her first and her last name. But since her first name is so short, I definitely think she is going to be able to master writing her name without like the tracers behind it. She's doing really good so far. So we are going to continue to work on her tracing her name, identifying the letters of her name and then also working on some pen control. So you guys, that's everything. Hopefully I didn't show you guys too much and I didn't overwhelm you guys. But this is all of the preschool curriculum that we are going to be using for the year of 2022. When my daughter is ready to jump to the next phase, as far as pre-k curriculum, I will show you guys the selections that I'm going to choose for her as far as like phonics and formal reading instruction as we get to that phase. But for right now, you guys, I really want to continue to make preschool be fun hands on. And I really want her to continue to have that love for learning. So I really hope today's video inspired you guys. It gave you guys just a little glimpse inside of these curriculums. And hopefully you're able to make some choices from this video today. So you guys, as always, please don't forget to comment, like and subscribe. And I look forward to seeing you guys in my next one. Bye.
