FREE lesson plans AND worksheets
My lesson plans are by no means fancy or complicated, there are no bells and whistles, its just simple, and hopefully engaging, content. They are geared toward children ages 2.5 to K/1st grade, but use your judgement with your little ones. They are intended not to be a comprehensive homeschooling lesson but to buy you a few minutes of quiet time while they focus, and hopefully learn something at the same time. They will be practicing skills related to reading and writing, and learning interesting content that’ll reinforce what they already know, or give them a head start for what they’ll learn in school.
