Our Preschool Room

The kids and I are starting a new preschool curriculum at home this week!

Since Allie will be 4 next month, I've been wanting to get her into preschool to prepare her for kindergarten. When I researched preschools in our area, I found they were way too expensive even though I only wanted her to go 2-3 days a week. One of the reasons I stay home is so we don't have to pay for daycare, I didn't want to spend almost the same amount on preschool. My husband finally said, you almost finished your teaching degree, why don't you just teach them at home?

So after searching around online, I came across this Letter of the Week home school curriculum from Confessions of a Home Schooler. It's pretty awesome and seems really easy to follow! I paid for it and was instantly emailed all of the files to download. I did have to print A LOT of stuff out, but it was pretty cheap to print all of the black and white documents at Staples and the color pages I printed at home. I also bought some self adhesive laminating sheets, although I may end up buying a laminator. (I'm only telling you all of this in case someone is interested, I definitely am not getting any sort of reimbursement for this, ha!)

I decided to turn our loft into a little preschool room. It was an extra living space before so we have a sectional in there and we also have our computer desk with our desktop computer. I just switched it around a little to make room for their school stuff. I have a few more things to add, but here it is so far. The kids love it!

I got the wall posters from the Dollar Tree and am planning to add a calendar above the weather sheets. I was shocked how much stuff they have at the Dollar Tree for preschoolers! I bought almost everything I needed for the curriculum there.

I will update on how this goes. I'm worried I won't be able to hold their attention as well at home, but hopefully they prove me wrong!
