How many times a week should I do activities? What kind of activities? How do I get started? Please, any advice would be great!
1 have 3 children, 5, 3 and 18 mo. Yes we all need to do what u are doing. I focus on numbers, colors, shapes, letters and prewritting , pre reading. Make your lessons for your older child and water them down as needed. It all depends on your 4 year old,. I have notebooks for each child and they scribble and write and we do lessons of whatever is intereresting at the time for a while it was science so we did some easy sci projects. for a while it was insets so we went to the library and got a ton of books about insects. I'd take them to bed time an hour before they fall asleep turn off the tv and just read touch and lok at the books. Follow your instinct its best.
I would focus on the 4 year old, and just let the 2 year old be a baby still! I home schooled our 4 year old for pre-k and we had a daily schedule that was pretty easy-going. We would start with the Pledge of Allegiance so she would know it when she went off to Kindergarten. We did approx. 10 minutes of some sort of workbook activities (she loved doing that!), about 10 minutes of a hands-on math activity, and then we did some other activity that involved the alphabet/reading. We also practiced such things as opening her lunch box and all the items inside, raising our hand, etc... so she would be better prepared for Kindergarten. There are a TON of websites out there on homeschooling. Just google homeschooling and you will be able to go from there! Again though, I would let the little one be for now and just let him/her learn through play and exploration!
