I’ve acquired quite the abundance of resources on shapes and colors, but my kids love them so it’s worth it!

We learned about colors and shapes back in March, but I’m just now getting around to posting some of our latest school units. ...

First curriculum ever PART TWO ✨ LETTER OF THE WEEK 🔡 This program is very good complement to thecraftyclassroom’s Shape of the Week, as you do the same set of tasks each day of the week for a different letter. I used this to solidify my kinder's letter recognition and to introduce the English alphabet to my ESL learner. We skipped talking about the sounds the letters make because I knew I would do a structured phonics curriculum down the road.

Both of these programs were a fun and gentle start to official homeschooling. Both kids developed an infectious excitement every Monday morning to get the new shape and letter.

You could take a minimalist approach and do this program as-is like I did. Or you could beef it up by reading letter-themed books, eating foods that begin with your letter of the week, or introducing some phonemic awareness activities.

It's funny to look back on this now because we're such a different place academically! I'll be sharing that progression over the next week or so... and then I'll give you a rundown of what's up for summer learning and my 2021-2022 curriculum picks!

Looking back on my very first curriculum purchase PART ONE ✨ After piecing together free resources for a couple of months in our first days of homeschool, I was basically extremely miserable. I needed someone to do some thinking for me... and I needed more structure in the day for all our sakes.

Enter the thecraftyclassroom's Letter of the Week and Shape of the Week programs!

✨ SHAPE OF THE WEEK 🟡 🟪 was an absolutely delightful intro to more official homeschooling after the exhaustion of putting it all together myself each evening for the next day.

The repetitive nature of this program was perfect for helping the kids work on it independently after just a couple of weeks. Each day of the week had the same set of tasks, and it was fun to watch them get in a groove. Working through this program helped inspire them to notice shapes all around them and it got them really interested in mazes which is just 🍰

I’ll post more in my Stories + k/1 Curriculum Highlights too 💃🏻 What was your favorite “first curriculum?”
