Curriculum for Fall

I am going to be doing lessons with 2- 3 year old boys, and my 5 year old dd. These are the two sites I'm going to be using the most, to keep searching a minimum.

Kinder Themes
Kelly's Preschool Room Themes

They are both theme sites, which is how I prefer to do things with the kids. We have a basic that we are working towards, and find themes that will correlate along the way. Like for DD we are working on the alphabet recognition and phonics, but we learn about dolphins, and circus, and elephants etc. along the way, taking our time with them as we go. I've found she hasn't forgotten what we learned a year ago, and we have fun with it.

I also found with DD that if there was something I wanted to "stick" that a printable book did just that. I get them from Enchanted Learning. You need to be a member ($20 for one whole year and gives you pdf files if you choose), and there are TONS of books!

She learns from seeing the books, coloring the books, writing the letters/words in the books, and cutting and stapling the books together. So far its been a no-fail teaching method with her, and she loves making them!
