Alternative LearningAre you a homeschooling mama? or maybe you unschool... or maybe you are interested in another alternative learning style? or maybe you don't have any idea what i am referring to?? this forum might just be for you! share your thoughts and ideas
how did/do you organize Letters of the Week? and more
I want to do BFIAR very loosely with my 3yo and LOTW with her as well but I want to organize it all now and prepare with a calendar or something.
any suggestions? where could I order a school calendar right now? which ones from Rainbow do you suggest (if that is where you were going to say to get it from )

I am not on my home computer, but I made my own weekly schedule for LOTW, I used the layout MFW uses but plugged in what I wanted to with LOTW. To answer your other question in one post. I planned on having one day where they would use the wooden pieces to make the letters and then use other activities on different days.

I make the curriculum up as I go. I use magnetic letters, storybooks about letters, flashcards to help them get familiar with them,etc.
I gauge how quick to go on the children and check to see how they are absorbing by flashcard drills individually and make note of who knows what and who doesn't. I make it lowkey and fun.
I am always brainstorming on ways to reinforce basics.
I do have a workbook that I use with four year olds to help them get fine motor skills and writing practise (there are cutting activities on pages too in it)
I don't usually start using that book until a child is about four. I only do it to prepare them for traditional school work. They seem to love using it though!
