A is for Adam

Ok, Adam was not our first theme week (it's A is for alligators) but I wanted to start with a quick introduction. Adam is my four year old. He has two older siblings: Jason 7, and Beth 6. And he has a baby sister: Jillian 2 very soon. We homeschool and have been officially since Jason was 4 (although we pretty much were planning soon after his birth). Adam did some things last year, participated in some crafts and enjoyed coloring, but he wasn't the focus. This year I have two focuses - Jason and Beth's curriculum (My Father's World: Adventures in My Father's World) and Adam's preschooling. Now I am a big proponent of not doing preschool but Adam has two siblings that are going to get a lot of attention this year as they learn an overview of American History, the 50 States, and all about Jesus. I knew that if I wasn't intentional, he would get ignored. So here we go. Each week is assigned a letter, alphabetical order. I know this isn't new. There are plenty of curriculums out there doing the same thing but to make this work, to make it real, to give Adam the focus I believe he deserves, I'm doing this on my own - no curriculum. I've picked my weekly themes. I'm finding books to support the themes. I'm searching the internet for craft and activity ideas. I know what Adam likes and what he needs. I'm having a lot of fun creating and so far Adam (and his siblings) are having a lot of fun participating. We're currently on D is for Ducks so I have some catching up to post but now that I have working internet (did I mention we just moved cross country?) I should be able to catch up quickly. Please come back and see pictures of our fun, the simplicity of preschool at home, and all the adventures we enjoy right here in our neighborhood.
