Lesson #1

Today, we are starting a new lesson curriculum from Brightly Beaming Resources.  I may not use all of the information in the lesson provide on their site, but I will use most of it.  The lessons available are for 2 - 4 year old children.  I will also be adding in art, science, and social studies.  This way she is meeting the Oklahoma PASS Objectives for Preschoolers.


Lesson #1 Link

*Note: the three additional/changes not included in the lesson that I added was 1) The letter from A to B. A will be cover first full week in September for Johnny Appleseed.  2) We are covering the shape square (as mentioned in lesson), but we are also covering the color red.  3) Instead of only covering one task a day, we are doing a little of each area for all five days.
