I started homeschooling my now 4 going on 5 yr old about a year ago. This year she starts kindergarten and although I successfully tried out the routine this last year I'm very discouraged about next year. My daughter soaks up everything but I am doubting my abilities to help challenge her in a positive and creative way. I want her to love learning and exploring things but I really don't want her to miss out. I'm more of a straight to the point get the work done by directions type person and I really don't want to be that type of teacher to her. I know when theres time for work and theres time for play but how can I make learning both play and work? Any suggestions?

check out the website www.abcjesuslovesme.com, whether you are religious or not, she has a great curriculum for 4 year olds and she breaks it all down by weeks. She also has a schedule that she uses up and it is very helpful to see how she makes it fun. Plus, there is a blog there. I am new at homeschooling this year so I am not sure how to make it all fun, but this site has helped me so far.
