Alexandra's Curriculum

Because my little Ali Sugar Bug has been asking so much to homeschool too, I have decided to honor her request. She wants to learn but most of all, she wants to do like her older siblings do.

Which means that Sonlight got the new P3/4 Core out just in time:



That will cover most of the English part of it. I will also add the Before Five in a Row program once we are done with Sonlight. I got it for Zachary about two years ago and he enjoyed it.







We have not used the Holiday book much though but we do enjoy the books. Catherine has been reading each of them all by herself. She is getting so good at reading in English.

I got this game for Ali, to teach her about logic:



Since it is about Caillou, she is going to love to play with it. And these games of cards too:



(We already have all of those and more.)

Then, the *toys* I got a few years back for Zachary are still in great shape for Ali now:



Yes, some of them we gave to Ali.

I am hoping to find a few more Bingo games while in vacation. If not, I will need to order them online. Which reminds me that I really need to make a list of things I want to find.



For French, I will get a few more Imagerie books to add to the ones we already have. The kids love those books and frequently bring them to read/look at when we go somewhere:



Then, I got her this book for her to learn more about nature:



We already have a few of the little books with the same caracters and the kids enjoy them. We also have just about the complete collection of Martine, the books Ali enjoys so much.



I can still remember reading those books to Catherine when she was a baby. I would enjoy them more than she would but still, beautiful memories, lol. I remember reading them as a child. I remember also reading them to my nieces.

Then, I will get other book collections out to read with Alexandra. She loves to sit next to me and listen as I read to her.



By having her very own curriculum, I think she is going to feel more like a big girl. Even if I want to keep her little a bit longer.

P.S. I also got her the kit from Hooked on Phonics Pre-K that includes 5 (I think) activity books, 1 cd, one dvd and a few other little things. And, another activity book in French for the alphabet. I really hope that she will be happy with all of this. I know she is ready to start learning more. Here I was hoping to wait until my kids were 7yo to homeschool them. I have realised that my wishes are not always the same as my kids'. I do see the advantages of my kids homeschooling sooner rather than later. I just wanted them to stay kids for longer.
