Princess Preschooler

On Monday, September 19th we started Preschool at home with Haven! Since she is so young we decided we weren't going to do a curriculum and it would be best to make it more fun than academic and add in learning as we go! We are doing a different theme each week, incorporating a letter of the week, and incorporating a verse each week to memorize and learn about. I also try to add in biblical stories, ideas, and activities as we are learning. So far it has been a blast and Haven is loving it! She enjoys the one-on-one time with mom, loves to learn, and is really doing well with our day being more structured.

Our first week was the week leading up to her birthday. I decided to do a princess theme that week since she was having a Cinderella party. I knew that the weekend of her birthday would be filled with glam and glitz so I wanted to focus more on what positive character qualities princesses exhibit as well as talk about how we have a heavenly father who is our King and that makes us God's princesses! I also thought that doing a princess theme would win "school" over since she is obsessed with princesses right now! Boy was I right! She LOVED everything! It was so fun!
