Once the decision was made........what is next?
The first thing we did was set some goals.
We are fortunate enough to have friends who home school so we were able to seek out advice. Asked them what their "normal" day would look like. Everyone had a different answer. Which at the time I did not think was helpful. Turns out "normal" is relative to your goals. So we needed some goals.
Our current goals are:
1. One on site learning experience a week. (field trip) Where we can focus on one area at a time.
2. Vocabulary. We have been exposing our son to different words and using life to explain it. (example: extraordinary vs. ordinary - we would make a plate of waffles and syrup and one of waffle strawberry sauce and whipping cream)
3. Since this is just preschool right now we are reading to him. 5 preschool books a day and a chapter book. One chapter a day. We review what is happening in the story to help with comprehension.
4. Interactive playtime. Where one of us plays with him in pretend stories.
