Jelly Bean will be 2 at the end of September!

At this point, she

asks and answers questions,
uses a large variety of vocabulary
speaks 4 languages
loves to make music, dance and sing
has graduated from “No!” to “I don’t like…”
has a wicked memory – especially for things you wish she didn’t remember! T_T
is ready for OFFICIAL TOT SCHOOL!

I have been trying to make up for lost time (weeks spent doing graduate study over the summer) by frantically putting together a solid curriculum for the school year.

I’ve decided to use the same format as Erica’s Letter of the Week Curriculum. Since I plan to do it with Jelly Bean when she turns 3 next year, and I’m using my own curriculum for Baby Ruth at the same time, I wanted them to correlate. Erica introduces the vowels first and then goes through the consonants. Keep that in mind as I show you a brief overview of what the year will look like.

NOTE - I’m only sharing a brief overview because it would take forever for me to list every activity and give credit to every source in one post.

DISCLAIMER – In no way am I implying by this curriculum that my daughter and I accomplish everything I plan. Homeschool at this age especially is not about checking off a list! It’s about learning through fun and play. I urge you to use this list as a reference only!
