How to Organize My Father's World Preschool Program

Since I homeschool Blue Rock, three days a week, it seems like a good portion of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is made up of doing and getting school work done. Princess has been begging to participate. She's enjoyed coloring and reading books. However, I wanted something more to do with her. I discovered that My Father's World had a new preschool for 2s and 3s program. It's call All Aboard the Animal Train. While they suggest it more for older 2 and 3 year olds, it is perfect for my newly turned 2 year old. She LOVES books, retains the information well, can sit and pay attention for a good amount of time, and has a willingness to learn. I wanted to wait until after her birthday to start it and have found it to be perfect! Also I loved going through My Father's World Kindergarten with Blue Rock when he was 4. He still has memories of some of the fun activities we did.

A few weeks ago when I told Princess that I bought her some school work she literally jumped around the living room in delight and told Blue Rock, "I have schoolwork, yay!" I put it together in a special filing folder and we have enjoyed going through the first unit and still have another week or two to go.

There are 12 units that are part of the All Aboard the Animal Train. Each unit takes 3 weeks to complete if you are going straight through it. We do not do school everyday, so it will probably take us a month to complete each unit. There are four different activities to do each day: 1. Clean Up and Together Time; 2. Story Time; 3. Surprise Time (she gets to pick one surprise activity/game each day); and 4. Outside Time.

The goals for the 2s and 3s program are: Spiritual Growth which includes twelve character traits, three Bible stories and a memory verse for each character trait. Cognitive Development - songs and fingerplays, creative thinking, problem solving, and imaginative play.  Reading and Math: lots of fun stories, poems, print and phonemic awareness kills, informal alphabet readiness, and numbers, colors, and shapes. Science: we're learning about twelve different animals! Music: each unit includes a preschool learning song and Bible song. Physical Development: gross and fine motor skills.

This is how I organized My Father's World Preschool Program, All Aboard the Animal Train.

I keep all of the books we are not using in the box in my closet

Such a precious and happy girl!

She was so excited to start reading her books

 

Here is the teacher's manual and student sheets

I separated all of the student sheets by unit -- there are 12 units

Train, Daily activities, and numbers for surprise boxes

This file folder has month tabs and I put each unit behind a month

I'm storing the teacher's manual in the front

Nice and organized!
