Just wanted to know what everyone thought about this for our Pre-K schedule. We have been doing something like this since the end of August and it takes us about 1-1 1/2 hrs to do all this. I was going to do a Main theme each month and have mini themes each week (Month theme: Fall/Thanksgiving, mini themes: apples& pumpkins, thanksgiving, leaves, etc.)
Story Time (T)
Calendar/Weather Time
Song Time
Bible Story Time
Bible Story worksheet/coloring page (M, W)
Bible Story Craft (F)
1-2 letter worksheets (M, T, W, F)
Song Time
1-2 number worksheets (M, W, Th, F)
Alphabet Flashcards (T)
Number Flashcards (Th)
Song Time
1-2 Opposites worksheets (T)
1-2 Shape/Color worksheets (Th)
Activity or Craft Time
Educational Game Time (computer, hand held, file folder)

To be honest, it doesn't sound like something that I would feel comfortable with. It seems heavy on the age-inappropriate work (flash cards, worksheets, rote memorization...) and not enough discovery or play based work - games, activities, etc. Littles thrive when they have more than one sense involved in their learning experiences, or when it's all integrated. Writing and sitting so much isn't an age appropriate skill yet.

We are way more relaxed than that and tend to stay away from flashcards, etc. during the younger ages. BUT, if the schedule is working for both you and your child, I think it's fine. Just make your daughter is enjoying it, and make sure you don't burn yourself out.

I would make sure you are getting enough "discovery" play time too. However, I think flashcards/worksheets can play a role also. Just don't overdo it or they will burn out. I think the best learning experiences are when they don't even realize they're learning. I think your monthly/mini theme idea is really good.
