I always knew that whatever curriculum that I started with my child, that I would most definitely have to alter it in some way to fully meet her needs, the needs of a child with Autism. Thats fine with me, but where do I begin in the land of Homeschooling Curriculum? Well, I searched, and read, and talked to moms, and one day through my sweet friend Lisa on Facebook, I stumbled upon it: Confessions of a Homeschooler. What an absolutely adorable site! It was like I had reached some sort of Homeschooling nirvana (teehee). No but seriously this site is really awesome. Erica, who is the author of said blog, has developed this precious curriculum she calls The Letter of the Week Curriculum. She obviously focuses on a letter of the week and has created a weeks worth of themed activities covering all areas of development and she even includes bible study as well :), what a great place for a preschooler to start! The activity sheets are brightly designed, so organized, and all done for you! Her blog not only showcases this, but other stuff too, for older kids, extra curricular activities and more! Now here's the best part....you can buy her entire Letter of the Week curriculum on CD for .....wait for it....$16...O-o yep...that's right folks and she also has an option to buy it for $10 download only. I mean...for real....you cannot pass this up!! On the CD are all of the worksheets, activities, reading lists etc..and a full excel spread sheet of the weekly activities. I completely love it :) <3. So I have taken the spreadsheet and altered it some of course to meet the needs of my particular child, adding in more sensory activities, Language and Learning Skills stuff from my ABLLS for Autism, and a few other little here and theres. As for us, LOTW starts tomorrow, wish us luck! :)
Blessings,
