Ellie will be three years old this next school year and she is already insisting on being included in school plans. So far I've been able to appease her by printing off pre-writing sheets and having her do "reading" apps on the iPad and call it reading. I have a feeling she's going to wise up pretty soon and want something more legitimate. This post is focused on her math.
My plan with Eleanor is to do the Mathematics Enhancement Programme Reception level, also known as MEP Reception. I attempted to do this program with Lydia, but it was just too verbal for her. Eleanor shouldn't have any problem with the verbal aspect of the program and it should be right up her alley.
MEP is a British program based on a Hungarian series. It focuses a lot on problem solving skills and games. While meant for a classroom, it does transition to homeschool quite well and is available completely online for free. The Reception level is only 60 lessons long, so that should give us plenty of time for pausing and working on specific concepts.
We'll also start some C-rod activities. For now, we will mostly focus on familiarity with them and might start some simple Education Unboxed games or Miquon Orange lab pages. I did go ahead and buy her the Essential Math A&B workbooks, but I doubt we'll start them this year. If we do, it will be more towards the end of the year.
School this year is still 100% optional for Eleanor, so all of these plans mostly for fun for her.
